Eerily Perfect

Rating: 10/10 (7 October 2016)

The Babadook has the all the intimacy of an independent film with the adrenaline of a big budget thriller.
Steeped in metaphor, Jennifer Kent examines the lives of "disadvantaged" families through a paranormal lens, crafting a tale that is as inspirational as it is thrilling. The minimalist approach in both camera and scoring leaves a void that is filled with apprehension, sympathy, and at times, terror.
If you're looking for a cheap, run of the mill horror film, this is not for you. If you're looking for a refreshing dive into an equally harrowing story, watch now.
