Another reason why motherhood might not be in the cards for me...I might get pregnant, have my husband die while trying to get me to the hospital, give birth to a very pale kid, get possessed by the Babadook then just keep him around and feed him bowls of worms every now and then?? What a movie though. For real. Holy grief. If anything this entire movie is a metaphor for letting grief control your life when not compartmentalized. I think that's the point of him being kept in the basement area in the end? Idk. I think there was a lot of symbolism, or I was just more stoned than usual when watching. This was a deep movie and I loved the cinematography! It was super eerie and uncomfy most of the time which can be hard to sustain for a whole movie, but they did it! I also really like the blurred lines of reality and psychosis. Who wouldn't start to feel sorrrrt of insane after being isolated with your kid for seven years after your husband died? I couldn't imagine having a kid and being a single parent. That is def not in the cards for me (nor should it be for anyone unless planned obviously). Like they really focused on the intimate struggles of being in her role which gave the whole movie an additional unsettling overcast. This is a movie I'd def recommend for a beginner horror person or someone who doesn't like a lot of gore. ba Ba BA DOOK doOK dOOK!
