Babadook

A lot of hype surrounding the film. Now, I like a film that makes me think. This one did, however not in the way I'd prefer. Good atmosphere with muted colours. The acting was fine (I agree, the boy was annoying but he was supposed to be). I enjoyed the camera work, a few moments stand out (one with a disorienting sweeping motion). I'm not going to spoil anything. I was just left feeling underwhelmed. Very much liked the premise of the book and inviting danger into your home. I did find some similarities to another film which I won't name being that it may ruin this film for those that have yet to see it. Make your own judgment. Yes, there is a lot to like but not enough to make me love it. I figure a good determiner is if I would watch it again soon after the first viewing. No. But maybe in time. Essie Davis performance is without criticism. She impressed me.

Liked the concept but would have prefered a different story.

I couldn't even get through the whole thing. I was so bored. It had a bland, stupid story, unlikable characters and their idea of what is scary is a really loud score RIGHT IN YOUR FUCKING FACE! Avoid this one

The Babadook (2014)
Overrated much?
Only watched this because of the "hype" and positive (p)reviews.
But I should've stuck with my gut instinct.
Yeah, the actress was good and the concept (whatever it is) had potential, but that's about it.

Definitely had some strong Spielberg vibes.

I really loved this - I was really hyped for it and it was better than expected. The ending is pretty over the top and realistic but I could deal with that. I am also slowing warming to Shia. The fight with the Tiger was great too, just the fear that they had of that tank even though they greatly outnumbered it.

Yea, it suits Shia to play an older man. He played his character really well. They all did.

"Sex Ed" 5/10

This movie was one weird conversation after another. The story could've taken place in the same world as "The Invention of Lying". Difference is this movie wasn't funny.

"Jessabelle" 8/10

Not sure I totally understood everything that was going on, but it was still a good horror flick with some damn good scares. Could've done without the tarot readings which seemed kinda lame. Unless they were...
