Everything Wrong With The Babadook In 10 Minutes Or Less

Read a strange pop-up book with your kid... end up with a haunting. I think. Honestly this movie is kind of confusing. Whatever, it has its moments. And its sins.
Next week: Recent animated sins, recent adventure sins.
Remember, no movie is without sin! Which movie's sins should we expose next?!

You missed the opportunity to say "I'm the babadook and this is my bababook" The babadook is grief and you have to learn to live with grief. She puts it in the basement because that Is where she keeps everything she wants to move on from IE: her dead husbands stuff. She feeds it worms because worms eat dead things and she wants to keep grief( babadook) dead. There I explained the movie for you.

[@microtransactor6732]

Wait, that last part makes no sense. She feeds it worms, because worms eat dead things, and she wants to keep Babadook dead. Then shouldn't the worms be eating Babadook? If Babadook is eating worms, isn't he still alive? If so, then it's really all just about learning to live with grief (Babadook) full stop, not letting it die. Which, actually, makes for a very sad ending indeed. Either way, it's one of my favorite psychological thrillers.

[@aroofclubs]

I think the babadook is actually a metaphor for depression. And the worms symbolize the mom taking antidepressants. But that's just me.

[@fallenstranger4735]

Itd be a real twist if...Babadook was actually her next husband but was just abusive so the kid and the mother see him like that in the form of a horrific being..or...the husband was like that in the past and they were traumatized mostly the mother..so it left an impression..explaining why they saw him everywhere

[@Alondro77]

The Babadook is a psychological horror. The being itself does not exist, though its shown (horror movies). To sum it up: wife is a tad nuts and grieving.

[@Tensolin01]

Wait, so what are they feeding worms too in the final scene? The nothing in the basement? Okay the...

[@Tensolin01]

The black crap she barfs up, the kid getting levitated up the stairs and thrown around, plus two people seeing the exact same thing during a psychotic episode is an insanely rare and hardly ever happens. Because everyone’s brain is different, we don’t share a hive mind or anything so no one person would be seeing the exact same thing as the other person. Even if they were right next to each other. Even with the book as a shared image the kid would have been seeing something far less scary then what his mom was seeing, something more like from the book. Not what his mom saw. The Babadook was not a non existent being. It was real.

[@Tigatron1448]

Tensolin01 uh... a big part of the movie and why it’s pretty darn good is because of how well things are left to interpretation. There’s a lot of symbolism throughout the film and in my opinion the Babadook is a manifestation of grief. The mom never deals with it and just suppresses it until she is consumed by it. When she finally has the courage to confront her grief that is when it loses its power over her. It stays in the basement and they feed it because she’ll never get rid of those feelings. “You can’t get rid of the Babadook” because that grief is something that will always be a part of you. She eventually recognizes that and the worms scene symbolizes her approaching those feelings and dealing with them. As someone who has dealt with pretty heavy depression this movie really struck a chord with me. I enjoyed it quite a lot and think it’s masterfully made because of all the symbolism and ways you can personally interpret it.

[@Tensolin01]

Cray It can be a Psychological horror and real at the same time. She can be crazy and monsters can actually exist at the same time..

[@Tensolin01]

Cray It doesn’t have to be mutually exclusive, from one or the other.

[@LavenousForever]

Isn’t The babadook a metaphor for grief. Like it never goes away, you just have to learn to live with it

[@mattharper4328]

LavenousForever no its a metaphor for depression i think

[@Infelious]

I'd say resentment aswell.

[@alyssaj6579]

Grief, depression, etc. Yea it's metaphor

[@emeraldtaco]

Pretty much. She was letting the loss of her husband rule her life, so much so that when the Babadook offered him back in exchange for her son she was totally willing to go along with it. The more she denied the loss ("Oh it's ok, I'm fine.") the more power it had over her (This is in the book too "The more you deny me, the stronger I get.") But in the end she acknowledged her grief and robbed the Babadook of his power. It's still there tucked away in the basement, but now that she goes down and deals with it every so often, it's not a disruptive presence anymore. She also tells her son that he can see the Babadook when he's older, meaning that she'll talk about her husband with the boy when he's ready to deal with the concept of death and loss.

[@RussianTreeWrestler]

Yup and thats why this is one of the only ciemasins that I didnt agree with at all. A lot of the sins make much more sense when you realize that the babadook is a metaphor for grief.

[@jasminelav.332]

For those who don't already know, The Babadook is an actual Australian folktale used here as a metaphor for grief. Her husband died in an accident the night their son was born and she refused to deal with it until all her relationships suffered. "You can't get rid of the Babadook" means that mourning a lost loved one never truly ends, you just learn to live with it. (Hence the scene in the basement - she still misses her husband, but she's not letting it ruin her life anymore.)

[@1999doogie]

While it's correct that the Babadook is a metaphor for grief, it is not Aussie folklore, European or Indigenous! It is an invention of the writer.

There’s actually a theory that Amelia made the book and can’t remember because she’s so unstable. It mentions that she used to write children’s books and in a couple scenes she has charcoal on her hands, which is the medium that the book is drawn in.

I've seen this movie multiple times, but as a as a newly overwhelmed over tired single parent with a high needs child this movie scared the shit out of me more than I can ever explain. The beginning is horrifically relatable. The saying "you can't poor from an empty cup" comes to mind and that's exactly what Sam's mom is. She can't be there as much as she emotionally should be for her child because she is so exhausted and consumed with grief, and that tiniest bit of resentment towards Sam hit home for me. It was like watching me on my bad days on screen. That had me super emotional to begin with but to see her slowly lose her sanity and be "possessed" by the grief was literally so fucking upsetting. This actually happens. This is how babies get shaken and children get hurt. And it's not always by parents who are psychopathic killers. It's normal ass people. Tldr don't ever say the babadook is a bad movie it literally captures what this feels like perfectly and if you don't understand it then feel lucky you've never been so overwhelmed with anxiety / grief / depression / to where you have to understand it.

Even though it didn’t quite make sense, this movie had me BabaSHOOK

[@SVD_NL]

potwhovian Yeah, I was really creeped out by the pop-up BabaBOOK

[@CeltycSparrow]

I believe the movie is a metaphor. I believe that the Babadook character is a physical and metaphorical representation of the pain and grief that Amelia feels following in the wake of her husband’s death. That is why she keeps all of her husband’s things locked in the basement. The basement is like a metaphorical locked box that she buries her grief in so she doesn't have to acknowledge it. So long as her pain was locked away and hidden, Amelia felt some measure of control. Amelia’s repeated encounters with the Babadook forces her to relinquish that control and acknowledge the pain that she has kept buried for so long. Although at first Amelia tries to resist the Babadook…even going so far as destroying the book…she eventually understands that by acknowledging her pain, she is not surrendering to it, but rather she is freeing herself from it. It is only after she relinquishes her hold on the grief that she has kept hidden for so long that Amelia is finally able to find peace.

[@mweepinator]

CeltycSparrow There's other things that point to the Babadook being a manifestation of her grief, such as a brief mention of her being a children's author and having the popup book appear out of nowhere.

[@360.Tapestry]

hey, do you think it was a metaphor for grief? i think it might be. am i smart yet?

If you forget that the Babadook is a metaphor for grief for a second and just think about the movie in black and white, it's really Australian of them to keep a demon that has the ability to possess and almost made them kill each other as a pet

[@SasukeUchiha-pj1pl]

I remember when i was little I was in my room with my family and they were watching this. This was the first movie that ever got me scared of the dark

[@kageokami]

5:24 Thats Skippy the Bush Kangaroo, its a pretty old show and it was first around when my mum was a kid in the 70's, it reruns from time to time. But I guess ya can call it KangaLassie.

[@kelf114]

I prefer "Lassiroo". 😄😄

I literally said out loud "that is Skippy you little shit-"

[@ouroborosrecords]

Here I am, 11 months late....

[@darkgnome666]

Damn I want to watch Skippy the Lassiroo!

[@FuzzyStripetail]

Winning an Australian game of Bingo, which apparently has five billion different blue to white or white to blue color changing balls, is probably slightly less rare than finding the rerun of the lone episode of KangaLassie that only aired when the Babadook haunted its first victim.

[@CreeperDroppings]

He doesn’t posses, as far as I understand. He just kind of influences. Also, it’s... it’s a metaphor. Did that not come across? The Babadook is grief, if I remember right. (Haven’t seen the movie in a while). She choose her son over being obsessed with her husbands death. It’s still there cause grief never really goes away.

[@jdprofanitybatman5212]

That explains the ending and the reason why he now lives in the basement eating worms

[@mr.dr.genius6997]

Alley Oliver Yeah but the movie still doesn't make sense.

[@Ten_Thousand_Locusts]

Mr. Dr. Genius Yeah it does it's amazing.

[@TheGoldenDunsparce]

Also, a bunch of shit that happened during that confrontation scene wasnt real... I think? Like, most of it was happening in her head. The book itself, if I'm not mistaken, was hers. Thats why she had ink all over her hands when it was changed. She's going nuts and doing shit she doesn't realize.

[@blairinsertlastnamehere3140]

Mr. Dr. Genius yeah it does, the more you ignore grief and pretend it's not there, the worse it gets. However, if you just accept it and learn to live with it, you can control it.

[@itsjustmeofficial]

I watched this at a sleepover and cried. Not because I was scared, but because she killed the dog and didn't even apologize or get him a new one!

[@itsaquagamer6101]

Mayflower MSP I think it's more horrible if you kill the dog and immediately get another to replace that dog. It's like getting a new baby after you killed the first one. Also I don't think apologizing would help the mental scarring of losing a loved pet, trust me I've been through that hell about 2 to 3 times. But hey that's just an opinion. My opinion! Thank you for reading.

[@kf9235]

i actually thought this was a lil spoopy and the book imagery still gives me chills

[@cartinastroili8137]

Actually, I always thought that Amelia wasn't just possessed by the Babadook, she is the Babadook. In the movie it is mentioned she used to write children fairy tales, that can't be just a coincidence, so she probably wrote the book. It is the dark side of her that hates Samuel for being the cause of her husband's death.

[@ClownieFace]

Martina Troili What did he do?? I never watched this.

[@thatgirl298]

And she had black chalk on her hands when she went to the police , just like the chalk used to draw the book

[@ZyphLegend]

If the Babadook is Amelia's hatred for Samuel, then why does she keep him in the basement, and tells Samuel he will see him when he's older?

[@YumiYumY]

Zyph_Legend By that logic you could ask why could we see the babadook as well.. Keeping it in the basement could also be a metaphor. Also don't think it like babadook only being her imagination, it's actually a realish thing that feeds on her feelings. The movie gives you the information and hits that could go both ways, you may choose which one is the best for your understanding.

[@cartinastroili8137]

Zyph_Legend I think it's because she accepts that she cannot get over this hate, love will never completely win over it, that dark part of her will always be there. "You can't get rid of the Babadook", right? She tells him that because maybe one day he'll know and understand it

Maddie Hansen oh yeah, terrifying..... I wouldn't know what to do if there really was a movie ,who saw herself smiling in the TV reflection, ......yah, so disturbing........

[@Nuclearstomp]

... Wishmaster I'm pretty sure you understood absolutely none of what Maddie just said.

[@maddiehansen5661]

W i s h m a s t e r no no no let me explain!! she’s “possessed” at the time and is watching tv when it all of the sudden changes to a news story in which a mom kills her son. When it’s showing the outside of the house, you see a face in the window of the house. it hard cuts a couple times to the window and it’s the mom and she does this creepy smile. Horror is subjective, for sure, and it scared the shit out of me!!

[@wishmaster2575]

Nuclearstomp no, I remember exactly what she's talking about ..... the movie was ass. oh yah dude she really saw the Babadook dude, because the scary Babadook is a symbol for her greif dude, oh yah...... so spooky!

[@Nuclearstomp]

Wishmaster, Maddie is talking about a single specific scene in the movie that doesn't even directly involve the Babadook at the time. Its clear that you're simply ignoring whatever they have to say to bash the movie in an unrelated tangent. -also did you edit your comment to change "know" into remember?-

[@barcegt1728]

“Babadook goes through the badonkadonk” I really did laugh out loud

[@CX7thetherapist]

I was a little scared at first, but then The Barbequok pun got me good

[@lolzomgz1337]

I kinda feel like you missed the fact that the Babadook is a representation of clinical depression, which is why it can't be "Beaten" and it must instead be accepted and managed, and also why it's sort of but not really "possessing" someone.

[@CeltycSparrow]

Its not so much clinical depression as it is grief. This woman had just lost her husband. I believe that the Babadook is a physical and metaphorical representation of the pain and grief that Amelia feels following in the wake of her husband’s death. That is why she keeps all of her husband’s things locked in the basement. The basement is like a metaphorical locked box that she hides her grief in so she doesn't have to acknowledge it. As long as her pain was locked away, Amelia felt some measure of control. Amelia’s encounter with the Babadook forces her to relinquish that control and acknowledge the pain that she has kept hidden for so long. Although at first Amelia tries to resist the Babadook…even going so far as to destroying the book…she eventually realizes that by acknowledging her pain, she is not surrendering to it, but rather she is freeing herself from it. It is only after she relinquishes her hold on the grief that she has kept hidden for so long that Amelia is finally able to find peace.

[@julz3tt3]

Ugh I have bipolar and lost my husband to suicide.... and I didn't get that metaphor... It makes sense when you think about it.... But shit. It's still a crappy film

[@siriusorsomething7431]

Not deppresion, the 5 stages of grief, you can't the 5th stage of grief is to accept it, thats also how you "beat" the babadook, you see Amelia bargain to get her husband back, violent, deppresion, deny that it happened, Wich is both the thing that let's in the babadook and the first stage of grief.

[@siriusorsomething7431]

@chrissy christoff deppresion is a serious thing and shouldn't be ignorantly brushed aside.

[@ariesthefool]

​@chrissy christoff the keyword here is 'overly'. too much of ANYTHING is bad for you. hell its possible to over hydrate yourself to death (no not drowning but literally drinking water to the point you die.) sure this is an extreme cases but so is depression. the point about depression isn't that someone is sad, its that someone is abnormally sad to the point you can't treat it with normal means. like just "get over it". try and argue all you want about how depression just being 'sad' but that doesn't change the fact this is a real problem people face.

[@jacquelinefey737]

Smeeze I just thought she was taking her pills

[@clintonrumpf3927]

I guess she's down with the sickness, huh?

[@wilhelmu]

this is more scary then actual babadock. mental parents abusing their children and doing mental things.

[@jojo-b55]

The Babadook is her grief and anger stemming from the death of her husband. When Sam gets into so much trouble, it becomes too much and she snaps. Keeping the Babadook in the basement at the end is her way of acknowledging that it happened, but burying its influence to avoid another episode like what we see

[@crazydude9991]

It's not scary when it's fake mental parents fake abusing their fake children.
