You wrote me a letter,
and this is how it went:
The entire ending was one of the few things I actually really liked about the movie.

It's such a well made movie that it's definitely worth people's time. Great performances and visuals and a nice sense of insomnia and increasing madness. But the Babadook itself was way, way too Mighty Boosh to be scary.

My biggest problem was how predictable it was. It is not a subtle movie and by the time you get what they are going for (which happens extremely early on) you can count down the plot's by the numbers progression. It's why I liked the ending; it was an unexpected way to end it.

So many movies of course follow a familiar progression, but this is one of the few movies where it really bothered me because I just wanted them to get to the next step every other scene. And I don't believe that was particularly my fault.
