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.

Worth a watch
I hate to say it, but I woulda killed this kid.
I think I am just not the target audience. It was comical to me for the majority of the film, however my husband made us sleep with the lights on, so it very scary for him.
Should be the Gold Standard for great horror movies, it was for me the first horror movie that made me think. Grief is powerful and as I get older, I appreciate this movie more and more.
seen this movie seveal times it was initually a good viewing experience would recomed for others to view as well
