‘The Babadook’ is the Best Horror Movie I’ve Seen in Years [VIDEO]

Have you seen The Babadook yet? If not, you're missing one of the most incredible horror films in a long time--maybe ever. The director of The Exorcist, William Friedkin, said he's never seen a more terrifying film. Do I have your attention now? The film has a 97% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, so there's your evidence: I am not the only one who found this film enthralling and terrifying. Here's the official film description:

A troubled widow (Essie Davis) discovers that her son is telling the truth about a monster that entered their home through the pages of a children's book.

The Babadook scared me to the point of cowering behind a blanket (no easy feat, I assure you); it's dark, chilling, and stunning, too--the direction and cinematography are outstanding. And it isn't often that I get to say this about a horror movie--but it has a heart. The story is profoundly moving and offers a truly unique perspective on loss.

And maybe leave a night light on--just saying.
