Netflix is losing one of the scariest horror movies ever — and it's 98% on Rotten Tomatoes

Only a select few horror movies in the last decade or so have become staples of the genre and reached cult classic status. "The Babadook" is one of them, playing on tropes from horror mainstays like "Poltergeist" and "Nightmare on Elm Street" to paint a terrifying portrait of the ugly side of motherhood and how grief lingers.

It's leaving Netflix on Jan. 25, and any horror fans who haven't seen "The Babadook" yet should take the opportunity to watch one of the best horror movies of the 2010s before it's gone.
