A Super Duper Stuff first. A guest reviewer!
My brother Ben went to see this last night, so here’s his review of The Babadook. Maybe I’ll rely on him a bit more in the future.
“If it’s in a word or if it’s in a look, you can’t get rid of the Babadook”.
Knock, knock, knock. With two excellent central performances, the story of The Babadook should have played up to the tension of it’s first two acts. Instead it gives us a monster reveal which diminishes all that come before.
As a psychological drama dealing with the relationship between a still grieving mother and a shunned son the films excels. As a horror film it started brilliantly but ultimately left me wanting. It tried hard but in the end I rid myself of The Babadook quite easily.
