I recently saw The Babadook. After seeing images of the film (mainly of the creature itself) I was fairly uneasy about watching it as I have never been the best with horror movies.
However, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
The whole way in which the movie played up the horror was perfect for me. It isn't one of those films that bombards you with jump scares, but instead uses the atmosphere and tension to keep you on the edge as it all spirals out of control.
I can see why it may not be for everyone, but I really believe it is worth a watch.
I was going to mention this one too. I'd recommend this film to anyone who likes The Shining. Both have an oppressive atmosphere of mounting dread, claustrophobia, and flat out wrongness, as well as themes of mental illness and isolation.
