Product Description

Product Description

Amelia (AFI Award winner Essie Davis, Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries, The Slap) is a single mother plagued by the violent death of her husband. When a disturbing storybook called Mister Babadook turns up at her house, she is forced to battle with her son's deep-seated fear of a monster. Soon she discovers a sinister presence all around her. A chilling tale of unseen and otherworldly horror in the haunting tradition of The Orphanage, Jennifer Kent's visceral journey into the heart of fear itself is as terrifying as it is believable.

A Beautiful Metaphor
5 Stars
A Beautiful Metaphor
This movie *actually* is one of the best (perhaps it's even the best) horror movies released in a long. Where most horror films rely heavily (and wrongly so, in my opinion) on jump-scares, this movie doesn't. What it does do is create an atmospheric sense of dread. Everything about this movie was thought out with great care: every shot, the filtered, depressing colors, and especially the performances.The premise: seven years after the death of her husband (and the birth of her son; they happened on the same day) Amelia is struggling to raise her son, Samuel, who has, "Severe behavioral problems." In addition to this, her son is highly imaginative to the point that she must check under his bed and closet for monsters every night before bed. One night, when it's Samuel's turn to choose the bedtime story, he brings to her a mysterious book entitled "Mr. Babadook." When she reads it, the first few pages are very childish. However, as she continues, the book becomes more and more sinister until the point that Samuel is brought to tears.The book tells of a monster called "Mr. Babadook." Sam instantly believes it to be the truth, but Amelia doubts him. Mr. Babadook, who is very much real, visits Samuel several times, terrifying him. His mother refuses to believe in such, "Rubbish." But as strange things begin to happen around her, violent visions, and visits from Mr. Babadook himself, she comes to realize the horrible truth: "If it's in a word, or a look, you can't get rid of the Babadook."I must say that this movie is not going to be for everyone. Some people will watch it and find it too slow. It is a very progressive movie, and you start to see the changes slowly, the eeriness growing steadily, along with the dread, until it finally climaxes. The last twenty minutes has some of the finest acting ever caught on film, and the intensity is so great that I'm sure most people will find that they're grinding their teeth in anticipation.What this film is not is a cheap, summer horror flick. What it is is a slow, well thought out physiological horror that is on par with (and even similar to) the works of some of the greatest directors of all time, namely Stanley Kubrick. Writer and director Jennifer Kent has surpassed all expectations with her debut masterpiece, The Babadook. It's use of metaphors make this film not just one of the best horror movies of all time, but one of the best survival dramas as well. It is a must own film for anyone who calls themselves a fan of the horror genre.
