Oh wait a minute, that's right, this psychological horror film debuted in the United States just forty eight hours ago. If The Babadook had been available to me in October it may have slipped under my radar because usually I am either partying during the world series, building guillotines, or rewatching Pet Semetary. So maybe it is better that I watched this highly disturbing movie right after chopping down a Christmas tree with my loving parents.
The film is focused on a widowed mother and her troubled son who is tormented by a character (The Babadook) from a children's book she reads to him one night before bed. It's a real clutch move on her part seeing as how her mental state is already in shambles. Do not expect to frequently jump out of your chair during The Babadook, but also do not expect to obtain much sleep after watching this movie. Some critics are comparing The Babadook to The Shinning, but it makes its predecessor look like The Notebook.
