OK …
Do you believe the hype?
No, that’s a fairly honest question, there.
Do you believe that, if you hear something getting talked about — very favourably — that it’s something you should have a look at?
Or are you, like me, who’s prepared to take the hype with a pinch or two of salt?
I think that, at my age, a pinch of salt is usually worth having.
Sometimes, though … ?
Sometimes, it turns out favourable hype — or favourable word-of-mouth — turns out to be justified.
The film I’ve just sat and watched, tonight?
Was the 2014, Jennifer Kent directed film, The Babadook.
And yes …
‘Wow’ is justified. I think we can believe the hype about The Babadook.
