The Babadook

The Babadook

Directed by Jennifer Kent

Six years after the death of her husband, Amelia struggles to discipline her ‘out of control’ 6 year-old Samuel – a son she finds difficult to love. Samuel’s dreams are plagued by a monster he believes is coming to kill them both. When a disturbing storybook called ‘The Babadook’ turns up at their house, Samuel is convinced that the Babadook is the creature he’s been dreaming about. And when Amelia begins to see glimpses of the creature herself, it slowly dawns on her that the thing Samuel has been warning her about may well be real.

Amelia struggles to discipline her ‘out of control’ 6 year-old Samuel – a son she finds difficult to love. Samuel’s dreams are plagued by a monster called ‘The Babadook’ who he believes is coming to kill them.

Very good. It’s one of those meaningful horror movies. Much less about person vs. monster and more about what the monster symbolizes thematically.

I really love this movie. I saw it for the first time when it came to Shudder, and I immediately took a liking to it. Not boring at all to me!
