The Babadook: Movie Review.
The film has well developed characters, emotional character depth and intensity and very interesting character performances. The Babadook is a very mature and intense film that shows real life horror emotions and heartfelt character moments. The atmospheric tone and vibe of the film is dark, scary and creepy. The movie does not rely on some cheap jump scares, it focuses on realistic fear and tension. Imagine the feeling and situation, where a mother is trying to kill her own child, its pretty terrifying.
The Babadook is an excellent film that depends on the horror of depression, loneliness, pain of losing someone, dealing with psychological mental issues, and fear of a monster lurking in the dark. The film does not relies on the common factors of horror, it's rather depends on its mystery and suspense factor. That's what makes the film more realistic and genuine towards its approach of genre based story telling.
The direction of Jennifer Kent is brilliant.The performances are great. Essie Davis and Noah Wiseman, both are amazing in their respective characters and have given solid performances. The issue with the film that its slow paced and takes little time to build itself. All Over, The Babadook is a well crafted psychological horror film.
