Blog:Amusing bad page of Babadook

The Babadook is a 2014 Australian psychological horror film written and directed by Jennifer Kent in her directorial debut, and produced by Kristina Ceyton and Kristian Molière. The film stars Essie Davis, Noah Wiseman, Daniel Henshall, Hayley McElhinney, Barbara West, and Ben Winspear. It is based on Kent's 2005 short film Monster.

Plot
A single mother, plagued by the violent death of her husband, battles with her son's fear of a monster lurking in the house, but soon discovers a sinister presence all around her.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) The story doesn't have enough information about the monster of how he is first created.
 * 2) The way the film is made, is considered bland and poorly made horror.
 * 3) The dialogue is portrayed very blandly.
 * 4) No character development whatsoever and there are many useless characters who serve no purpose.

The Only Redeeming Quality

 * 1) The film has some good performance of how the Samuel and Amelia is going to cope the Babadook.

Reception
The film premiered at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival on 17 January, and generated attention and critical acclaim in the United States and Europe, grossing $10.3 million against a $2 million budget. The Babadook was initially not a commercial success in Australia and was given a limited release in art house theatres, beginning on 22 May 2014.
