Sincerity and no novelty

It can be seen that the director and screenwriter are very hard-working. It is best not to leave the theme for a long time in such a fine-grained suspense film. The bizarre book came out within ten minutes of the beginning of the film, and basically did not waste the audience's precious time. But Mr. Babadu's overly kawaii style really discounts the horror factor of this film. In fact, it is better not to let Babadu's body appear from the beginning to the end, which will be much more terrifying.
In addition, the main elements of the film settings make people feel that there is a shadow of "Shining", or the shadow of "Shining" may be too large, and such films cannot get rid of its traces.
One is the eccentric family relationship. "Babadu" is a single-parent family whose father's death anniversary is his son's birthday, and Shan is a father-son relationship whose drunkenness has hurt his son.
The second is a nervous mother. Needless to say.
The third is the only son with yin and yang eyes. Needless to say.
Fourth, the father (Babadu is the mother) is evil.
The fifth is the behavior of the father (mother) to harm the only son after being evil.
Especially the mother holding a meat cleaver to kill Samuel grin on his face, then that would be in the "flash" to pay tribute to okay

such a family relationship evil spirit + + + direct cannibalism minor yin and yang eye thriller The overlap of the number of roads is too high. I originally had great expectations to see Babadu, but I was a little disappointed.

The Babadook quotes

  • Amelia: [Samuel comes out from hiding and Amelia shrieks like a banshee. Amelia starts approaching Samuel, but he starts wetting himself.] You little pig. Six years old and you're still wetting yourself. You don't know how many times I wished it was you, not him, that died.

    Samuel: I just wanted you to be happy.

    Amelia: [mocking Samuel] I just want you to be happy. Sometimes I just want to smash your head against the brick wall until your fucking brains pop out.

    Samuel: [softly] You're not my mother.

    Amelia: What did you say?

    Samuel: I said you're not my mother!

    Amelia: I AM YOUR MOTHER!

  • Samuel: It wasn't me, Mum! The Babadook did it!
