Very overrated

Rating: 2/10 (12 July 2016)

The movie built very little suspense to me. I was getting a little annoyed by the kid who was playing as Sam, or maybe it's the fact that I don't like kids in general. Anyway, it's another one of those movies where a little kid somehow sees a dark entity, no one else knows what the kid is talking about, and the kid starts to behave strangely. The main kid, Sam, read a book about some monster called Babadook and he thought it was real. The movie was not original and the script seemed very simple. You don't even get to see what the Babadook looks like exactly. It's another one of those horror movies where they don't want to show the audience what the monster actually looks like because the film makers thought it would make the movie more scary. It was just stupid.
The movie never explains to the audience where exactly the Babadook came from, why it does what it does, and how the Babadook came to life.
Close to the end of the film, the mother of Sam, Amelia, begins to act strangely also and starts to believe in the Babadook. I know, very original, right? Not to mention, the Babadook made some very generic monster sounds that we have all heard many times before. The Babadook creature tried to attack Amelia and Sam but Amelia decided to scream at the Babadook and shouted "IF YOU TOUCH MY SON, I WILL FVCKING KILL YOU!" The Babadook ran away and hid in the basement.
At the end of the film, Amelia was gathering worms in her backyard for the Babadook to eat in her basement and we still don't get to see what the Babadook looks like. After that, Amelia went back outside and was all happy to be with her son Sam. Umm, quick question, how did Amelia know the Babadook would eat worms?
Wtf? This movie was just boring. I did not care for any of these characters. The scariest thing about this movie is the fact that this movie currently has 98% on Rotten Tomatoes.
