The Babadook - I had heard that this was the scariest film since The Exorcist; so my expectations were naturally high, and thankfully, my expectations were met. It is without doubt the most accomplished horror film in decades and unlike most other horror films, this does not rely on the loud noises to make you jump (cattle-prod cinema) this film relies on its tone and imagery, as well as having actual characters that you feel for. The film owes a huge debt to The Exorcist, as some of the things that happen, as well as the whole scenario are very similar. If youre a fan of horror cinema, go to the cinema and watch this film while its on - it deserves a lot more attention than its been getting and I have no doubt that this film will stand the test of time, unlike its contemporaries. https://youtube/watch?v=szaLnKNWC-U
