The Babadook is an excellent, well written Australian film. It was very thought provoking for me and my boyfriend. We both find it very difficult to find a truly good, recently made horror film, and this one was exactly what we were looking for! The lack of jump scares and gore made this movie more of a thriller than anything else, but this was also a good thing as it did not need those jump scares or gore to make it scary. The lack of sexual content was also great, as I have noticed a lot of movies depend on sex appeal to draw in audiences. The Babadook also had great acting, especially in the son! This was an all around wonderful film that I could watch over and over again and still have nightmares every time! I highly recommend this movie to any horror lovers out there!
