“It's a creepy, atmospheric horror that builds real dread with great acting and sound design.”

“The Babadook is one of those elusive horror films, that's open to broad interpretation. My personal feeling have watched the whole film in the context of the single mothers predicament, is the real monster is the spectre of domestic abuse.”

“'The Babadook' is a well done horror film, one that is most definitely creepy. I would've liked more from the monster and how it works, though the film does give you enough and certainly does a fine job at building up the atmosphere of uneasiness that the thing produces.”

“The best pure-horror of the year. But that's not saying much. Final rating:★★★ - I liked it. Would personally recommend you give it a go.”
