What The Babadook Is About
Jennifer Kent's 2014 film follows Amelia, left alone with her son after losing her husband. A picture book that enters the house starts everything. Her son says the figure in the book is real. The film builds its fear on grief; the narrative does not destroy the figure but makes living with it the outcome. It is the director's first feature. The effects are practical and the book was actually made. The violence is limited and the tension high. Who it's for: those who like psychological horror. Who it's not for: viewers expecting jump scares; the film almost never uses them.
