5 Things I Learned From The New Trailer For ‘The Babadook’

Nothing says Thanksgiving weekend like a good horror movie!  I’m being sarcastic of course, which is why I was I bit perplexed to find out that one of the buzziest and best reviewed horror movies so far this year is being released on November 28th.  I’m talking about the fun-to-say flick The Babadook, and if you ask me, those involved missed out on a big opportunity to open this on Halloween weekend.  My gripes aside, I’m here to talk about the new trailer and the 5 things that I learned from it.  Roll the clip!

1.  It’s never ok to push a little girl out of a treehouse

2.  Pop-up books are awesome

3.  The mother really needs to wash her hands

4.  Books apparently can actually hurt you

5.  I’ll most likely soil myself after watching The Babadook

Bottom line:  The Babadook looks great and looks deserving of all of the praise that it’s receiving.  I guess I can wait until November 28th, but this movie just looks like it’s begging to be watched during Halloween.  I guess there’s always Annabelle for that.  How depressing……

Anticipation Alert: The Babadook (2014)

How could I not be anticipating a movie called The Babadook?  I mean, seriously.  Try saying the name three times without laughing or smiling.  The Babadook.  The Babadook.  The Babadook.  Ahhhh – but this movie looks like much more than a funny name.

This little Australian gem just had it’s Sundance premiere and is quickly getting big buzz around the horror world.  Set up as a new spin on The Boogeyman storyline, it revolves around a mother dealing with her 6-year-old son who has hallucinations involving a monster straight out of a children’s storybook called, The Babadook.  Obviously, the name grabbed my attention first.  Then the poster grabbed it some more.  But the ultimate grabbing came from the trailer below:

I’m in.  Love the overall tone and it definitely seems as though it will have more than enough creepy moments.  This one is definitely on the radar for 2014, and if I’m ever having a bad day, I’ll just say the name of the movie and everything will be alright.  The Babadook!
