Movie was amazing.

The kid was "annoying," but that was entirely the point. You're supposed to feel somewhat sympathetic towards the mother. I hate to use the word annoying, but anyone that's dealt with a kid sitting on the spectrum somewhere, can easily relate.

Hol' up, hol' up, The Devil's Rejects is a great film. And so is this. For entirely different reasons.

But if you pretend The Devil's Rejects is not a good movie, I will make sure there is no fukkin' ice cream in your fukkin' future. :ufdup:

I enjoyed it the first time I watched it.. but liked it MUCH better on second viewing when I showed my nieces and nephews that shyt.. they were scared as shyt watching it.

Movie didn't have a bunch of cheap jump scares in it and was built around a plot that dealt with grief... so it's not the usual horror flick.

Good psychological horror flick, I could feel the mothers stress. The actress and the child actor were very good. The last 10 minutes and the ending had me :why: but when I properly thought about it, it made sense.


I would only put The Conjuring and Sinister above it.

If your a horror movie mark you would understand why it is highly praised and deservingly so. Essie Davis performance in this is deserving of an Academy Award, she was phenomenal. In this Horror Movie climate The Babadook was a complete breath of fresh air, didn't rely on cheap jump scares and was still creepy/ scary. The underlying themes in this movie also leaves you with much to think about once the movie is over. I think it deserves all the praise it gets. In the last few years when you look at horror performances Essie Davis' performance is head and shoulders above the rest and that's note ever debatable.

It was decent but nikkas is acting like it's the best horror film in years. :camby: 7-7.5/10 at best


This movie rivals anything James Wan has put out in the last couple of years and Wan is basically the Chris Nolan/ Hitchcock of Horror for our generation.

Calling this predictable compared to other horror flicks? You can't be for real
