Agreed. Better than I expected!!

He's not really a "killer." Watch it, it's good.

Saw it in theaters. Lang was awesome, but the movie sucked.

I wholeheartedly disagree. :D :D

SF, I'm a great fan of horror movies and watched a movie that was recommended to me called THE BABADOOK which was a big disappointment.
I am probably the only person I've evert met who saw no horror in THE SHINING nor any other of King's Horror efforts.
Here are the movies that scared me at the time that I originally saw them:
The Night of the Living Dead .... Saw this one is a 95% empty, very old theater in a worn out neighborhood .... all of which somehow added to the horror of this flick.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre I and II. Especially the second episode when the guy cuts off some guy's face and wears it.
Children Should Not Play With Dead Things.
And no longer scarrie but was damn scarrie when it first came out ... DIABOLIQUE. (THE FRENCH ONE.)
And any movie in which I know the actor and he can't act worth shit.
A good director and a decant editor can make any shitty actor look half way decent/scarrie on that screen.
Am I the only one on this board who thought Guardians of the Galaxy 2 stunk as bad as it diid stunk?

Did you understand the psychological underpinnings of "The Babadook?"
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is straight up creepy! Classic horror though!
-
SF, Apparently not. But I did like the creepy guy who lived behind the walls in the house.
I watched a library copy and the dialogue was a bit fooked up in places so I may have missed the psychological part as well as some other parts.
But the last line if I recall correctly was funny because the mother was yelling at the creepy guy who was now a welcome resident for something he apparently did wrong.
I think I did miss a lot of the meaning within that film though.

Was a light-hearted comedy with Sly Stallone, Ving Rhames, Michelle Yeoh et al.
Don't take it so seriously.

In order to truly appreciate "The Babadook," you have to understand the metaphor behind the movie. There really was no Babadook.
The Babadook was the guilt and depression that the mother had about the father dying. There was no Babadook.
The mother and child confronted the babadook at the end, i.e., they confronted their own guilt and depression about the father dying.
Remember in the book, the Babadook said, "I'll wager with youm I'll make you a bet, The more you deny, The stronger I get." That is how their guilt and depression worked. The more they denied it, the stronger their depression and guilt became. When they finally confronted it, they were able to subdue it.
At the end of the movie, the child says to his mom, "How was it today" and the mom says "It was quiet today." What was quiet today was the Babadook, which is really her guilt and depression, i.e., her guilt and depression were not that bad today.

saw it a while back, great flick
-
SF, It's been a while but I do recall that line and thought about it carefully during that scene thinking that is was going to be important to understand what was going on later on in the movie
But how did that line apply to the strange who lived in the house?
I think that most viewers though that he was the Barbadook all along.
it's been awhile since I've seen it so I may be messing this up a bit.
And who was that mysterious 'house guest" and did he remain in residence at the end?
What did she say to him? It was the last line of the movie before the credits rolled.

What stranger who lived in the house? Do you mean The Babadook? Why do you keep thinking that a stranger lived in the home? ??? ???
There was no stranger. There was no Babadook. The Babadook was a metaphor for the mother's guilt and depression. You just have to put all the pieces of the puzzle together.
I just turned it on netflix. The last line of the movie she wished her son a happy birthday. But just a few seconds before that, the son asked "How was it" and the the mom said, "It was pretty quiet today."

The Babadook is considered to be the embodiment of grief. As the film progresses, the six stages play out as the following:
Denial
Ever since her husband died, Amelia has been avoiding the issue to the point where she barely acknowledges his existence, this has caused her to distance herself from anyone who tries to talk to her about it, which leaves her isolated except for her son. Whenever Amelia tries to ignore or get rid of it, the Babadook comes back even scarier than before.
Anger
The Babadook threatens to make Amelia kill her son and dog. After a lack of sleep, Amelia snaps at Samuel and their relationship gets progressively worse, until she seriously considers ending his life.
Fear
The Babadook makes itself visible to Amelia, spooking her by hiding in the background at first, then by turning into a big black silhouette and cornering her in her bedroom.
Bargaining
Amelia tries to hide from the Babadook in her basement. There she has a vision of her dead husband, but it's really the Babadook in disguise. He tells her to give him Samuel and everything will be fine.
Bitcoins
Accepting that Goodrum rules this scene in his trailer, The Babadook becomes terrified of Kielbasa.
Acceptance
It's only when Amelia stops being scared and comes to terms with her husband's death that the Babadook loses its power over her.

X2. Saw it the other night and thought it was pretty good. I never saw the first one either. Very easy to keep up with.

I saw Alien first run in 1979 at the old Criterion theatre in Times Square. It was late May and I caught the 10:30 AM (or so) showing. It was a full house, and the AC was off, so a mist formed above the crowd - imagine how that added to the experience.
I though GOTG was pretty bad - is II worse than I?

"1408" with John
Ballsack Cusack was pretty good.
-
when i saw the original Texas chain saw massacre in the theater years ago... the few people in the audience actually cheered every time the maniac fired up his chainsaw. i thought it was rather strange...also it was part of a double feature the other movie was a karate flick.. also strange IMO.

Hey, MOONTRAN, I was a special invited guest back then to view ALIEN before it was open to the public and even before the sound-track was complete.
And even though some of the sounds were yet to be added, that was one of the few motion picture occasions in which I witnessed the audience come to their feet and show their approval during the closing credits.
And H.R. Giger’s original designs for the first Alien production helped immensely.
Also saw the special pre-release showing of the first Indiana Jones but this time the audience actually came to their feet as soon as the words "Steven Speilberg Presents" flashed on the screen at the very start and then they continued to go crazy throughout the film.
And one more time in which the movie audience reacted with much enthusiasm .....The Star Wars opening scene in which the space-ship passes overhead and seems to never stop.
These audiences were mostly people who were involved within the production of major Hollywood motion pictures so their 'approval' was a major sign of success.

Love the movie Sinister with Ethan hawke, very eerie feeling to it

Remember seeing ET in the theater when I was a kid. The trailers started and stopped from some technicle issue and the whole room started chanting ET, ET, ET!!!. It was a total shit show. lol

1983, saw it the Friday it came out. Mom liked it so much she insisted on a second go with Grandma, who swore off movies after Jaws fucked her up. "That thing is ugly" was her entire review.

100% agree. I really dislike the gore aspect in most cases as imagination is much better. A lot of the time once the figure, etc. is revealed it loses the suspense/mystery, etc.
I've rarely like any modern "horror" movie for that reason. Just a ton of over the top violence that takes away from the movie.
I really liked a foreign horror movie called "La Casa Muda" (Silent House). They claimed that it was shot in one long continuous take so that was interesting as well. It does have the "popping out " aspect in it however but nothing is shown/revealed really if I remember correctly. I don't mind that so much as long as the things aren't fully revealed so the suspense is still there.

Yeah, unfortunately, horror has gone the way of gore and things constantly popping out at you. I guess in a world filled with violence and horror, hollywood feels like they have to keep people on the edge of their seat.
I like horror from the 70's and 80's!!
