The Babadook is that horror movie all horror fans crave. The kind that scares you to death and never gives up. It tells a refreshingly simple story of a mother who is struggling with her erratically acting child. I won’t go into details, but the story quickly wraps you up in its horrifying web. Not only does the film contain a noticeable amount of depth, it keeps you unsettled and utterly terrified in every single frame. The titular monster has an incredible design that seems right of a child’s story (which it weirdly is), and it constantly seeps into your skin like nothing else. If that wasn’t scary enough for me, the scenes that show the mother trying to stay sane as her child does the opposite is equally as distressing. There are endless screams, whines, cries, and everything in between. The film doesn’t pull fast ones on you, nor does it talk down to us like many mainstream horror movies do. And that is a special thing in today’s Hollywood. Rarely do I literally place my fingers over my eyes when watching a film. And even though horror isn't my favorite genre, there’s no denying when a great one comes along. That’s not very common these days, despite so many lovers of the genre just trying their darndest to make the next "Halloween." However, one of the few that has stuck with me was the out-of-nowhere masterpiece called "The Babadook." I would hear the occasional rumor of some amazing horror blowing everyone away, but I didn’t pay much attention to that—at first. The film later appeared on Netflix, giving me the lazy way to watch it. 95 minutes later, I was done for.Read full review

It arrived right on time but the description of the product failed to mention that all four corners appear to be smashed in by a hammer. The edges were so bent that opening the pop up portion was actually difficult and only caused more damage as the corners were folded inside of each other. The pop up itself is torn and when I opened the case, pieces of plastic fell out. There were chunks of plastic stuck underneath the disc.
