Eh, it was an interesting idea, definitely watch it more like a room-style “black comedy” as opposed to a serious horror attempt. The idea of a picture book “spawning” the monster entity was neat, I like that it’s left sort of ambiguous whether the Babadook was real or is more of an allegory for emotional trauma.
It’s just hard to take seriously at times when everyone besides the lead gives such hammy performances.
Hope this becomes a precedent for the Nintendo lawyer squads getting knocked down a peg or two.
