Yes, it has been a few days since I ventured into the blog,
mostly because I have been stuck at either the softball field or doing homework
in my Developing New Worlds class. Of course, I am usually enjoying some type
of movie though, as I cannot function unless my mind is transported elsewhere.
One movie that I watched that made a tremendous impact was the 2014 Australian
horror flick, The Babadook.
Plot/ A single mother, plagued by the violent death of her
husband, battles with her son's fear of a monster lurking in the house, but
soon discovers a sinister presence all around her.
It has been some time since I watched a movie and wanted it
to keep going after it ended. That was the case with The Babadook. While the
premise is subtle, the overall storyline is tremendous and effectively draws
the viewer in and makes them want more. The atmosphere is amazing, the
characterizations outstanding, the emotional performances over-the-top yet
believable and the stylized images and sound effects work perfectly within the
story. This movie is truly that good. Yes, the accents may turn some people off,
but if that is the case, you should not be watching a foreign film to begin
with. In the end, this is one of the best horror films to come out in some time
and is an entertaining trip into an emotional tale of terror. If you have not
seen it, find it, and watch it!
