Not Scary, almost comical

Rating: 2/10 (14 October 2017)

I watched this movie because I read several reviews that said that this was the scariest movie currently on Netflix. The only reason I watched the entire movie was because I kept thinking "this has to get scary, right?" No, it did not. There was one brief flash where the Mom saw the Babadook in her neighbor's house and that was all the scare and chills for the entire movie! The son even looked like he was about to start laughing in a few scenes that were intended, I think, to be frightening. And the voice of the Babadook was cartoonish. I wasted my Friday the 13th scary movie viewing on this terrible movie.
