Awesome Psychological movie

Rating: 9/10 (22 February 2015)

Babadook is an outstanding movie. The story begins in a real slow pace, taking time to introduce the characters and the situations that they are involved. It becomes quite clear that this is not a monster movie. No on the contrary the Babadook is a movie in which you can feel terrified by the circumstances that the family is living. Many of us live sheltered of all danger and needs. Our Maslow bottom pyramid is really well served and the things in the top, become such mindless things that we take for granted. But imaging the terror through a children's eye, or maybe exploring what is a tortured/depressed and torn mind of the protagonist was the real terror for me. The monster appears to highlight each and every pain that she and her son feels.
The boy had an outstanding act. The protagonist was superb. There were some minor flaws, but the fact that it did not harmed the movies plot. All and all, Babadook is not the Exorcist, but it was so damn close.
