I'm a big fan of the recent push for slow-burn psychodrama over jumpscares but this one is just generic trope filled blumhouse trash minus the jump scares. I've heard a lot of claims that it's innovative and unique, but I don't see why. It's visually bland, the script is bland and the monster as an externalization of inner conflict thing has been done since before the genre made the jump from the gothic novel to the screen. The first 2/3 are ok but the last 30 min are actually terrible.

The Babadook is enjoyable to a fault. The fault being its minimal cast and slight over reliance on a not-so-great child actor. Aside from that, there is something to be said for the nail biting tension and eerie atmosphere.

While not outright scary it had some good ideas planted regarding grief and having to care for a child that you don't really enjoy. However the kid is really hard to watch and the movie is kinda plodding. I was underwhelmed

Not scary so much as anxiety inducing, from well before the monster shows up. Feels like a sustained panic attack. The metaphor isn't subtle but why should it be, grief isn't subtle.

Dark, tense horror movie with some good scares and visuals, laid over an actually decent dramatic plot. Worth watching, although can be a little slow at times.
