There's no place I can be since I found Serenity.

Quote:Originally posted by ecgordon: I rented it from Amazon since I was sure it would never come to the theaters near me. It's been more than a week, and I had been toying with the idea of doing a review, but have been putting it off. I am not a big fan of horror, especially not of the gory nature or those that use manipulative shocks to get a rise out of you. I'm more inclined to enjoy the more subtle type of suspense, and I haven't seen many of those in such a long time. My idea of a good ghost story is The Haunting or The Innocents, both of which I recently bought on Blu-Ray. The Babadook at least started out in a similar vein, and I did like it and think both Essie Davis and Noah Wiseman, who played her son, turned in very good performances. I'm inclined to believe it was all in her head, not the son's, and I'm pretty sure she is the one who created the book. However, I didn't care as much for the last 15-20 minutes since then they did go more toward the typical horror type of action. Either everything that happened was all in her mind, or else they were saying that her grief was so great that it actually created the terror and entity she feared.

She told them that she had been a writer, that she had done a few articles and stories in magazines...a few children's books. That, and the fact that Babadook is an anagram of A Bad Book, is what makes me believe she not only created the book, she's also the one who repaired it after she tore it up, she just didn't remember doing so.
