    8/10. A surprisingly deep horror movie with lots of suspense. The monster looked a bit silly (for the 3 seconds(?) it was shown), though, and I agree the kid was super annoying.

      It started off pretty creepy, but as it went on I started to lose interest. It really felt like a film that had been adapted and padded from the shorter film that was its inspiration.
      6/10

        8/10.
        I loved the story's originality and the design of the Babadook itself. And Essie Davis delivered a superb performance.

          7/10. Can't understand people saying that the ADHD kid being annoying is something negative when that is the point.

              Just because he's supposed to be annoying doesn't somehow make him not annoying.

                  Being annoyed by something is a negative, even if that's the point.

                    That's exactly the essence of the movie, the kid is supposed to be annoying hence the mother's mental health deteriorating, if the viewer can't stand the kid for 90 minutes that would explain the mother going mental.

                      It's so weird that people don't get that!

                        I wanted to kill the kid myself. I was rooting for the monster to get him. Funny though I really liked the movie but I tried three times to rewatch it and I can't. Most horrors I like I can rewatch up to 500 times.
