Im not that hungry actually mum, after all...

Rating: 7/10 (6 April 2018)

The colourless decor of the house and it's sparse furnishings match nicely the weak and characterless personality of the mother.
Even her clothing just screams 'drab'.
When I first thought that, not long after one of her patients changed her mind about milk in tea, I felt perhaps I was judging too harshly, too soon.
By the time her odious offspring snarls,
"Do you wanna die?!" (in a manner akin to Tom Araya from Slayer)
... she's become the biggest drip since the BFG had sinusitis. Calling her weak was nowhere near unfair.
Her big plan to defeat the evil Babadook that has been freaking out her freaky son?
Tearing up the book. Yep. That'll do it love.
Although she does grow some balls at Ruby's birthday party when the rich WAGs are moaning about not having time to go to the gym.
Although I loathe Samuel, even I wouldn't hold pushing Ruby out of the tree house against him. Children can be so cruel. "Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me" goes the old saying, but I don't think a fall onto your face from 9 feet up is preferable to being taunted for not having a dad.
Ordinarily I celebrate the weird people. I hate the idea of just being the same as 'the norm' so naturally rally round the unpopular one or whipping boy of a group (such as the emo chick in The Breakfast Club or Trash in Return of the Living Dead).
However in this kid, we have someone I just can't sympathise with. He's an obnoxious little turd.
Although I expect he'd probably be diagnosed with some kind of 'spectrum'-based diagnosis by psychology experts.
"If you're so hungry, why don't you just go and eat shit!?" Mummy really needs some sleep
