1 is the rightful rate for this movie

Rating: 1/10 (5 November 2014)

The highest rate I could give for this movie is 2 for the sake of effort. But honestly, 1 would be perfect. Watched it with few of my friends and well, we share the same thoughts about it. Even one of my friend who easily gets scared of lame movies said it did not deliver more so it didn't even got close to an OK movie. Saying that and coming from someone with a low standard is definitely disturbing given all this hyped review and over the top rating. The movie started painstakingly slow. Not enough build up of horror feel. Few unnecessary scenes. And Mr. Babadook himself is not scary but hilarious. All in all, it was just a joke when you've read those good comments and reviews so don't take it seriously.
