  • It was a good film, I enjoyed it. Although, I remember laughing at certain scenes, sometimes finding it a bit on the nose. I would have liked to see more screen time with the Babadook itself, to add to the horror aspect. Another criticism is the feeling of tension constantly being built throughout the film, which never let up, but it felt like that momentum merely evaporated. I found myself feeling a little underwhelmed towards the end. However, I did like the (fairly obvious) symbolism of grief and trauma, and the overall message of the film. It relied more so on emotion rather than cheap scares. Overall, I really enjoyed the film, it definitely went against the grain and the tense atmosphere it created was excellent.
