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.

My favorite movie of all time, I will admit the kid is annoying, but there is a purpose to it. I have the Blu-ray copy if you watch the behind the scenes and explains everything it’s quite fascinating on the commentary that is said about depression. I truly love this movie.
