Agreed. Better than I expected!!

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

[Purge_WTF]

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

I wholeheartedly disagree.

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!

[stuntmovie]

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

[stuntmovie]

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.

The Original Ending had the White cop in the beginning of the movie showing up the house and killing the black guy for killing the white family.
