I just watched The Babadook for a second time. Great replay value, I could watch it another time. The acting is phenomenal, the Babadook himself is disturbing as ****, and the psychological aspects are more easily noticed after seeing it the first time and knowing the real meaning of the movie.
The creators are making an actual Babadook book and I want to buy one
I watched The House of The Devil it all seemed good and promising until the ending, it just seemed very rushed and you knew what was coming. Still cool 80s vibe they pulled that off well.
Knowing what was coming was the entire point - that's why they added what the movie is about in the very first frame of the film or the landlady said she had a good feeling about that girl.
It wasn't rushed at all. Instead, it was about the understanding that the anticipation is usually much more unnerving than the actual thing itself.
Babadook is all over free download sites and in brilliant HD quality. It aint gonna make huge money at this point. But it will make a great career for the director who has already been signed up by major agency WME on the back of the films critical success.
However, "The Taking" was a big flop. Pretty boring.
