"The Babadook" - A single mother, plagued by the violent death of her husband, battles with her son's fear of a monster lurking in the house, but soon discovers a sinister presence all around her.

I'd give this at least a 9/10. Extremely creepy film. Loved the cast, the woman's grey-scale house was an amazing set, music was dark and eerie, the Babadook was terrifying, story was beautifully written and cinematography was smooth and effective. I truly loved this film. It starts a bit slow but builds up tension and scares your pants off. Essie Davis does an incredible job as the mother and her son is one of the creepiest children ever! Such an entertaining movie to watch. Highly recommend. I'd watch it many times again. It's a keeper.

Even their website is beautifully crafted: http://thebabadook.com/
(There is a short-film on the site called "Monster" that is also worth checking out!)

First half was really slow and pretty annoying actually. I think I'm in the majority of people who wanted to see that little boy die. Rest of the movie was still slow, but at least scary stuff started to happen. I would've prefered the story went another direction in the end. A direction that made more sense or at least had some explanations of what the hell was going on.

Othervwise a well made horror flick with decent acting and top notch cinematography.
