You can't help but be scared of this film. The very topic is the subject of children's nightmares all over the world. That of monsters. Amelia is a single mother who becomes worried that her son Sam is displaying strange behaviour, talking of an invisible monster and not being able to sleep. One evening, Sam asks his mother to read from a mysterious book that he found on the bookshelves, it is titled 'Mr Babadook', and from the minute the book is open, their lives become more terrifying than you could ever imagine.
Some scenes nearly had me screaming in fear, and that is rare for me, even in a horror film. The image of the babadook is something that will stay in my mind for a long time. What is so clever about this film is that it tunes in to the memories of the adults watching it, and reminds them of their own fears when they were Sam's age. That is the most terrifying thing of all.
