Comment
The young son (Noah Wiseman) of a widowed mother (Essie Davis) has nightmare about a creature out to get him that become worse after they read a book abour a creature called The Babadook. The effects escalate affecting the behaviour of both them. This is a very good psychological thriller / horror as the tension and threats build up through the film. There is an excellent performance from Essie Davis as the mother becoming increasingly tormented and terrified and also from Noah Wiseman as the young son.
