The Babadook is...a movie...:?

I just watched "The Babadook" and to say the least I was disappointed. I chose not to follow Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB review to much but the hype had me so excited. Well screw all that because I hated the characters from start to finish.

Everyone was annoying, even before they went psycho.

The Babadook was creepy and all but how did the book get into there house.

Yes, I've heard the theory about her "mental breakdown" but take it at face value. It's not obvious at all.

YOU'RE FEEDING THE THING!?!?! IN YOUR BASEMENT! WHAT! WHAT ARE YOU THINKING!

Please, someone explain the hype, I'd be willing to go into more detail my complaints if you really wish.
