Slow paced horror, stupid ending..

Rating: 6/10 (30 November 2014)

***Spoilers warning*** For start, it's an overall good horror, but the pace is slow. As a high rated movie from critics I expect this Babadook to be scary from the start, but it's not. We have to wait for more than 10 minutes for the Babadook to be introduced. This problematic kid are also annoying, heck, most of the script isn't really appropriate for the kids, there is this one scene that they mock each others parent condition and it ended up Samuel push his cousin and hurt her. Not to mention Samuel is yelling in almost every scene (what an annoying child). The story itself is great, it's about a single parent who lost her husband and for somewhat reason blame her child for it, but she also love her child, which make it a little bit complicated. One of the disappointment is the ending. I kinda hope that the Babadook is something that manifested from her own hate for the child and Samuel make it worse for her. But the ending suggest it's not, instead she conquered it and the Babadook escape to the basement and hide there (stupid). And even after that she fed the Babadook with a bowl of worms??? What a crappy ending..
