^ I thought The Gallows was some kind of troll movie. I was like, "Are they serious with this? This is a movie? This a movie in 2015????"

I had no idea what I was getting into when I watched The Babadook. I had never heard of it, but Netflix apparantly thought I would give it 4 and a half stars so I figured what-the-heck. I was pleasantly surprised, as the synopsis seemed kind of lame. The actors did a great job, and I didn't mind the "monster" because that's not what the film was about. It was about the main character struggling with loss.
