WASDuk Review: Babadook
WASDuk's Chris Patton reviews the first full-length and instant cult-horror classic of the year.
"You would not necessarily expect any Adelaide-blooded straight-to-DVD horror flick to spend much time on character development, what with the likes of the recent state of hand-held horror schlock. You might, however, expect such a singular, cross-culturally influenced filmmaker like Kent (Babe: Pig in the City) to come up with the characters at the center of this year’s first full-length and instant cult-horror-classic, Babadook: a suit-wearing, Goth-like children’s sketch who creeps down suburban streets, its thin black chops knocking on the doors of whomever without reason. It just can."
