The German expressionist silent film stuff added a whole other layer of creepiness and dread to the film. <br /><br />The more I think about it, the more I want to revisit the film.<br /><br />I'm curious, have you seen We Need to Talk About Kevin? The Babadook reminded me a bit of that film because of the subjectivity of the mother.

The way she kept blaming and hating the kid because he was the reason her husband died. and she felt awful about it because well she is the mother resenting her own child.<br /><br />Are his parents not doing anything about that? They really should, he will grow up to be a major shit if they donts.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13987831438787776712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093895270912854670.post-8867513195874823832014-12-18T23:48:57.145+01:002014-12-18T23:48:57.145+01:00Finally watched it and I must note the directing i...Finally watched it and I must note the directing is really good. At least I thought it was good. <br /><br />So the way I see it the Babadook is part of you? The shadow everyone keeps and if you don't deal with it and accept it, it can come out in an unpleasant way. Right? <br /><br />That kid is really annoying, especially in the beginning, but he isn't even half as annoying as my cousin who is his age. And I'm not exaggerating here - he won't stop talking, he won't behave, he will repeat one and the same thing over and over and over again, he doesn't listen what he is told, he becomes extremely irritating when he doesn't get what he wants, which is why he usually gets whatever he wants. At least he is becoming less annoying now, but he really can test your nerves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093895270912854670.post-10759882645895363052014-12-09T18:58:42.198+01:002014-12-09T18:58:42.198+01:00That was so insanely creepy!

Truly scary, unlike many other 'horror' films, and Essie Davis' performance is nothing short of brilliant. Loved it, and I'm glad you did as well!

"What is scariest in The Babadook are very unpleasant and creepy ideas that could easily happen in real life, not the monster. It's what happens to people and how they are unable to deal with that what is the true monster here." Yep, that's what I dread about this, and it sounds like a very heartbreaking film too, given the circumstances about the husband/dad's violent death.ruthhttp://flixchatter.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093895270912854670.post-22997831237890751372014-12-08T19:33:28.494+01:002014-12-08T19:33:28.494+01:00I just hate annoying, screaming kids who constantl...I just hate annoying, screaming kids who constantly need attention.
