A movie that needed to be made


The movie had to be made, it is told in a horror genre, and it is a beautiful film, in real life the parents usually fall victims of the babadook, killing many childhoods, due to narcissism, alcoholism, even depression. The kid is never believed and the parent eventually destroys them unable to understand their own mental illness, in this case grief, with some sort of stress disorder. I adored the film, if this was a drama it might get even more recognition, but it is the best horror film in a long, long time, maybe in many years to come.
