Just watched after hearing some positive reviews and was disappointed. I've seen loads of films like this that are considered average fodder and this should be one of them. Two annoying main characters, a book, lots of darkness, a ghoul that can't be seen. You get the picture. Had this film been released 30 years ago it would have gone under the radar but the quality of film is so bad in the 21st century that The Babadook is considered a good film. I think people are looking into this film too much in regards to loss and depression which it does indeed have but as for having genuine horror there is none. It's not a scary film by any means and for me I couldn't wait for it to end and needless to say the ending was ambiguous.
