   Is the Babadook a snoozefest?

   • “The Babadook” was both a snoozefest and ridiculous, and superior films included “ Sinister ” and “ The Conjuring .” Now I’m not sure that “ridiculous” is a word that ought to be applied to horror movies, especially if you’re implying by comparison that stuff like “Sinister” and “The Conjuring” is NOT ridiculous. It’s all ridiculous in a sense.

   Does Kent make little Sam resent the Babadook?

   • The situation’s a nasty mess, and Kent really makes the viewer resent little Sam about it, particularly after little Sam discovers a rather malevolent children’s book that warns of the evil household influence of a nasty man called, yes, The Babadook. Kent’s directorial strategy is a marvel.
