This movie brings Horror back in a unique way. Part fairy-tale, this movie catches you off-guard through its use of dream sequences, camera angles, and plot elements. The relationship between the mother and son can be argued to be the focal point of the story. As in real-life, many of the intricate complexities of such a relationship are explored and add to the overall Horror narrative featured through a strange fairy tale called The Babadook. A must watch.

Acting and plot are all debatable, but this movie is never creepy, scary, or anything to do with the horror genre. As a psychological thriller, it's fine. Especially if you like listening to an hour of a child screaming.

I loved this film! I think the deeper message comes out nicely and makes this film very rewatchable. The acting was terrific and I think fit the underlying tone perfectly. I rate this as a hidden gem, for lovers of horror and who like looking for more than what is clearly shown.
