STORYLINE:

The Babadook (2014) is a psychological horror film that tells the story of Amelia, a widowed mother struggling to raise her troubled son, Samuel. Six years after the violent death of her husband, Amelia battles her son's fear of a monster lurking in the house. When a mysterious book titled "Mister Babadook" appears on their doorstep, Samuel becomes convinced that the Babadook is the creature he's been dreaming about. As Amelia slowly starts to sense a sinister presence around her, she realizes that the danger is real and much closer than she thinks. The film explores themes of grief, motherhood, and the power of the subconscious mind.


STAFF REVIEW:

The Babadook (2014) is a masterful blend of psychological horror and emotional drama, directed by Jennifer Kent. The film stands out for its atmospheric tension and the strong performances of its lead actors, Essie Davis as Amelia and Noah Wiseman as Samuel. Davis delivers a powerful portrayal of a mother on the edge, while Wiseman convincingly embodies the fear and vulnerability of a troubled child. The film's minimalist setting and eerie sound design contribute to a sense of dread that builds throughout the story. The Babadook is a thought-provoking and unsettling film that delves deep into the human psyche, making it a standout in the horror genre.
