The Babadook Ratings & Reviews
- JoshuaW20 mars 2026It’s worth the watch. Little bit of a long build up. It made it spooky/creepier though. Main characters did great. Creative horror…☝🏼💡. Caught myself getting frustrated at my T.V at moments. 🫲🏼 🫱🏼I do that. Unusually odd ending.
- bugg87718 mars 2026This movie is great. Just enough tension to make it scary and plenty of humanity to be relatable.
- buford fernsby15 april 2025nothing made sense and it wasnt even fun about it. left the movie angry. babadook if i ever see u in da streets its on sight.
- Eric Bakke5 november 2024A terrifying story filled with real-life metaphors, a haunting exploration of people coping with trauma, as well as the manifestation of destructive and repressed emotions.
- Nicholas Florio8 december 2025What a freaky movie!! It definitely scared me. It also had me questioning the woman's parenting skills at the end. Maybe they wanted to leave it open for a sequel 🤔
- Allie Tran30 maj 2025The Babadook is one of the pioneers of “grief” themed horror movies. This film is more complex than you think with metaphors sprinkled in everywhere. However, it does get a bit boring at times for my personal taste.
- jackmeat5 oktober 2025My quick rating - 7.2/10. An exceptionally well-made flick on a shoestring budget. Everything in this movie does its job. The story is basically a yarn on "the boogeyman" tale, but this goes much further and is more personal. I must point out that this is a thinking person's horror movie that uses camera work, slight music, acting (that forgotten art), and a story to scare you. No gore is needed to frighten you around the corners of the house. I suppose I should just simply state the plot: A single mother and her slightly off son live in a suburb of Australia (I think Adelaide is a suburb, I am new to this Continent). The son believes there is a dark force haunting them, known as the "Babadook," which happens to be a quite disturbing children's book they have in their house. Well, of course, the mother dismisses this as nonsense. We know from other movies what happens when evil spirits aren't believed in... The plot centers around the mother (played wonderfully by Essie Davis) and her spiral into madness. The book almost describes the twists she will take on her journey. Every element of this movie is paid such detail, that it borders on "genius". Keep in mind this movie was a Kickstarter-funded film, made on a 30,000-dollar budget. After watching, all I can say is it screams "Get Jennifer Kent (writer/director) a budget and let's see what she can do." Definitely something that any drama/horror fan should be checking out. The only negative I could find is the strange ending, and of course, I am not saying what that is. Enjoy.

- maskedrider2924 september 2025Complete garbage!
- Emanuele Martellone20 september 2025a mix of psychological and possession horror. i liked the tense atmosphere created in the first half. captivating family dynamic. the only downside is the kind of strange final resolution, but it could be an upside depending on the direction you were expecting. overall good film
- stolteclan16 februari 2025A fantastic horror movie with incredible suspense, amazing characters and an outstanding conclusion
- butnyb5 september 2025Excellent film and great acting from the mother
- Lilis5 september 2025Love it
- ProfSolon17 augusti 2025Great movie.I think it was an original idea.I'm not sure. But I've never heard of this before, and I thought it was pretty interesting, create a new folklore, or perhaps it was bringing back old folklore, I've never knew about either way. It was good and I do suggest a watch.
- Lasse Viinikainen31 juli 2025The monster under this bed is all too real.
