Listonixio Fresh and Exciting
FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
aseem-awad It's really good to see a female director make a really good horror movie and a good movie in general. Great job!
bgar-80932 A single mother has a tough time caring after a really troubled child who's like 6 or 7 by herself because the husband died the day he was born. That's surely enough to mess a little kid up and the kid was pretty screwed up in the first half. The mom some reason reads a really scary book to him which makes it harder and harder for both of them to sleep. Weird things happen and the pair think something is out to get them. I'm not sure if it is or if it's sleep deprivation and drugs along with that book that create a scary feeling for the pair. I'm not sure if I liked the ending which could have made it good for me but overall I just wasn't that entertained. The actors did a good job and I don't have complaints for them I was just a little bored and never scared.
aldunisch ...or youll have to pay me.what if, in the "next film" The babadook kills off the mom, making her be with her husband. since the child is the one who couldnt let the babadook not bother him, the mother and the father haunt him until hes old and grey and in an asylum?
blasterbird This has gotta be one of my favorite horror films of all time. A creepy slow burn, its perfect.
