The Babadook is praised for being one of the most frightening and eerie movies, with strong performances and effective character development. It provokes emotions and reflections. However, some found the story not compelling, with repetitive scenes and obvious themes, feeling it lost tension midway.
I rewatch this movie on occasion. It reminds that although anxiety and depression can be scary, the only way to deal with them is to be kind to them and accept that they’re a part of me and I shouldn’t be afraid to have those feelings around
What an incredible movie, awesome performances, and this movie is about character development along with the story, a movie that really provokes emotions and many reflections.
6.9/10 frickin scary
