Should I watch it? is it creepy?

Yes, it's very good. Admittedly, the pacing is slow at times but there's some truly creepy and outright horrific scenes that make it worth it. Scared the ish out of me lol. Not to reveal anything, but it is a deeply symbolic film, in my opinion. Watch it and draw your own conclusions.

Sorry for digressing, but I also just watched Borgman (2013), a Dutch film, and wow, blown away by the inherent metaphors. I mention it because it's also on Netflix, where I watched Babadook. Cheers.

If you like 90 minutes of obnoxious screaming and yelling, then knock yourself out.

I enjoyed it...a good horror story, mostly psychological.
