Amelia, who lost her husband in a car crash on the way to give birth to Samuel, their only child, struggles to cope with her fate as a single mom. Samuel's constant fear of monsters and violent reaction to overcome the fear doesn't help her cause either, which makes her friends become distant. When things can not get any worse, they read a strange book in their house about the 'Babadook' monster that hides in the dark areas of their house. Even Amelia seems to feel the effect of Babadook and desperately tries in vain to destroy the book. The nightmarish experiences the two encounter form the rest of the story.
Leave your thoughts about The Babadook.
| Seattle WeeklyRobert Horton[Writer/director Jennifer Kent] skillfully keeps us locked into the moment-by-moment thrills of a monster movie, but also insists that this Babadook is clearly a stand-in for the other problems that inflict the lonely household. |
| 2UE That Movie ShowBlake HowardThe Babadook descends to the truly horrific when you begin to see it as the literary manifestation of insomniac's murder fantasy. |
| Advocate (Baton Rouge, LA)John Wirt"The Babadook," a small but inventive and seriously chilling horror story, is a monsterpiece. |
| Reno News and ReviewBob GrimmI don't scare easily. This one freaked me out. |
| Paste MagazineAndy CrumpThere's a grand divide between what Kent has done here and what most of us consider horror. You'll spend your first week after the experience sleeping with the lights on. You will also come away enriched and provoked. |
| amNewYorkRobert LevinAn expressionist masterpiece that engages with personal concerns in a fashion that is terrifying and emotional. It will one day be ranked in the pantheon of horror classics |
| Rolling StonePeter TraversKent will have you climbing the walls simply by plumbing the violence of the mind. Brace yourself. |
| SFX MagazineRosie FletcherThe Babadook promises many sleepless nights to come. Fresh, moving and hide-behind-your-coat scary this will undoubtedly be the standout horror film of 2014. |
| Independent (UK)Geoffrey MacnabThe Australian writer-director Jennifer Kent's bravura new horror pic combines subtlety and psychological depth with some very full-blooded shock tactics. |
| Total FilmMatt GlasbyA haunting tale with deep wells of howling grief at its centre, this is one bedtime story that will stay with you for weeks. Sleep tight... |
