The Babadook

The best of the Home Alone sequels by quite a bit.

The scariest thing in the entire world is raising an autistic child, especially if you haven't been fucked in seven years.

Essie Davis really delivers a powerhouse performance as the mom that's coming apart at the seams (and who can blame her, with thát kid) and gives the movie a very solid emotional foundation that's missing from big(ger) budget horror these days. That said, the amount of scenes that contained actual scares can be counted on a cursed monkey paw that's seen some use. If you just watch this for the horror element you'll probably leave a bit dissatisfied.

A silly, scary movie about the living hell that it is to be a parent.

This and Eraserhead are going to be justifications for my eventual vasectomy.
