The Babadook Review | Cinelinx

From Cinelinx:

I was weary going in to The Babadook, I always am weary of Horror films these days. I remained a skeptic, even as the film generated universal praise. I am no more, The Babadook is the best horror film of the past ten years. This is due in most part to the love and care behind the scenes. You can sense that the director, Jennifer Kent, really knows and cares for these characters. Amelia (played by Essie Davis) is a distraught mother coping with the fatal car accident that took her husband. And Samuel (Noah Wiseman) is what survives from that accident, a newborn son whom the father was driving to be delivered.
