Relief To Know That These Sort Of Films Are Still Being Made.

Rating: 9/10 (24 April 2015)

I went into this movie expecting not a good story and not a lot of scares. But what I got was something spectacular and stunning. We have a mother and son who are the main characters in this movie and from the get go you can tell there is something not right between the mother and son. The movie is more psychological than horror, although in some scenes you feel on edge and waiting for something to happen. The acting between the mother and son is outstanding, even though we know that the mother has got issues, the way the two characters let it affect their relationship is astonishing. Movies like this are rarely made nowadays but the twist at the end is surprising and fits so well with this movie.'The Babadook' delivers chills, somewhat horror and over all a good look into the mind of someone who is losing their sanity.
