Best ending in a long time

Rating: 10/10 (2 November 2014)

Several reviewers said that the last 15 minutes were disappointing. But they're the greatest part of the movie! Sure, it's not some generic, idiotic horror, it's more complex than that, horror is a tool, there's so much layers in the movie, and it's actually a debut, first full length film by this female director, which is also important, considering feminist themes in the movie. The end is ambivalent, it's not one-sided pro or anti-feminist, it goes deeper. A debut with a 30.000$ budget, I mean, what else should anyone say when they hear a 30.000$ budget, and the film looks great. A director has to be given a chance to make more movies. Of course it's not a masterpiece, but for God's sake, if you watched Insidious, Conjuring or Annabelle than you've already wasted 5 hours of your life, and Babadook is definitely not a waste.
