Metaphor heavy

Rating: 9/10 (22 January 2020)

This is a movie where the ratings have a high mean but a large variance. If you go in expecting a jumpscare-fiesta you will be dissapointed.
The Babadook doesen't really rely on jumpscares and scary monsters the same way other horror movies do, dont go in expecting a quick adrenaline rush. But if you rather let yourself invest in the story you will get an
"OOOHH"-moment when you realize the metaphor of the film, which adds a sense of realism to the film. Nothing is scarier than realism in a horror movie.
