My Grading System

A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).

Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.

The Babadook (2014)

Ding Ding Ding!  We have ourselves a winner.  This is the kind of horror film I’ve been wanting to see in a long time.  I really enjoyed this story about a boy and his mother dealing with an evil spirit in their house, an evil spirit with the coolest name.   It all starts with her troubled son making life really hard for her, a widow still dealing with the death of her husband.  Then a mysterious pop-up book arrives called Mister Babadook.   Is her son making things up?  Is she seeing things or going insane?  I loved it! If you love horror films then I highly recommend you watch this Australian wonder.   I know I’ll watch it again and I can’t wait to watch it with my son someday, and see him jump! A
