Bit creepy at times, yes. Scary, no.
But hey, to each his own.

I walked into the movie expecting a drama, and that's pretty much what I got. I was satisfied beyond belief.
I think that's what can ruin any movie: unmatched expectations. Like... when I watched In Fear, I was expecting Blair Witch in a car, but I didn't really get that. Now, if I watched it again, I would probably like it.
Anyway, I was genuinely scared at quite a few scenes, and I thought the premise was just disturbing, which was matched by the fucked up picture book.
It's definitely not a horror movie for everyone. I like horror films with something underneath the surface...
{spoilers for The Babadook and The Descent are in white} was the Babadook even there at all, or was the mother just insane and her child just afraid of the "monster under the bed" like any other kid? That's why I love The Decsent: were the crawlers actually in the cave, or did Sarah kill all her friends?
