The Babadook Official Trailer #1 (2014) - Essie Davis Horror Movie HD
Amelia (Essie Davis) is a widow who lost her husband in a heart-breaking stroke of shit luck: he was killed in a car accident while driving to the delivery of their first son. Now six years old, young Sam (Noah Wiseman) has begun to develop behavioral problems and incestuous tendencies, and their neighbors have become increasingly distant as a result. When Amelia discovers a ominously-covered, never-before-seen pop-up book called The Babadook on Sam's shelf, she decides to immediately debut it as a bedtime story.

One of the best horror movies I've seen. Rather than using jump scares you get paranoid and anxiety from worrying about what'll happen next. And you can see truly relatable characters in a way. All in all The Babadook is a solid 10/10

[@peytonfunk300]

Alexis Threats I like this movie because it reminds me of Halloween. Like the movie Halloween. I think Halloween is scary because Michael is a silent killer. there's not a whole lot of blood and gore so you focus more on him. And you get paranoid and idk. Gives me shivers. I absolutely freakin love Halloween

+DesapoleEdits lol this movie was stupid, and the ending made it more crappy, I expected jump scare but only half way through the movie ( which the kid sucks at acting) you see babadook and literally only 2 scenes in the entire movie you get a glimpse. this movie is a joke its mild to a horror film not even in the same genre

[@XPsilocybinDream]

***** I have like Insideous

I'm really glad that I was able to discover this magnificent film. I love horror films but recently there isn't anything good being released. Every horror film nowadays is about plot being recycled, sexualizing women and adding jump scares in every bit of the scenes just to call it a horror movie. This film, The Babadook, goes more in depth of how a human's mind and emotion are scarier than any monster. How depression, grief and anxiety will always remain as part of our lives and we can never get rid of it only accept it. I truly connect deeply to this film as I lost my father 9 years ago on the day of his birthday. The grief has subsequently declined over the years but whenever his birthday comes I am always reminded of his death. I don't even miss my father anymore, I just keep thinking of what could've been if he was still with us. I keep being reminded of the pain when I hardly remember the person anymore.

[@aquilothenorthern4136]

People need to see this movie in the right way. This movie was meant to build up paranoia and fright, instead of using cheap jumpscares. That's not horror. It's just startling the audience. In order for a movie to be truly scary, it needs to build up a sinister environment upon the audience so it will lead to a good enough scene that will scare the daylights out of people. Silly jump scares are just cheap ways to scare people. And more importantly, the horror movie needs to reflect some type of relatable content. Say someone had a real problem with being terrified of the dark. A horror movie needs to have someone relate to that, so they can be scared.

[@gnsmovies8849]

Well said mate! That's exactly the problem with horror movies today. People have forgotten what scary is. Nowadays people rate a move on how scary it is based on how many times they jumped out of their seat. Jump scares can be really good but they have to be used right. The best example I can think of is in The Woman In Black. The jump scares in the movie are used to scare you yes, but also are used to build more tension into the scenes.

[@zeroskaterz92]

You mean Asian horrors? They usually do this approach for a very long time now. It's just that Hollywood finally manage to keep up.

[@nicolebutler9077]

Yes but the execution itself was so damn weak. I totally understand what they were trying to do but it means absolutely nothing if they can't drive the fear in a way that it rocks you to your core. This is the first horror movie that I've ever fallen asleep watching, and I'm the biggest scaredy-cat horror lover there ever was.

jup the horror in this movie is brought to life through real life issues, flaws and fears - that's something that is actually scary rather than "oh a ghost of some guy who lived here some day just decided to be an ass to us"

[@MsDeadbite]

Anyone else noticed that the letters in the word "Babadook" can be rearranged and it spells "A bad book"?

[@garrytalaroc]

I strongly recommend this movie. It is not just about a movie scaring you. It can also give you a nice lesson in the end: you can't get rid of your grief, you just have to learn to live with it. Many scary movies are just there to scare you with no rightful resolution in the end, but this one makes things all the fight worth it in the end. That is why this is my favorite horror movie of all time.

[@justinkianaalfredo6843]

I’ve seen a lot of horror movies over the years, and I usually don’t get scared very easily, but The Babadook is one of the few movies I’ve seen that has genuinely creeped me out. This movie is a perfect example of what a horror movie should be. It doesn’t have a loud jumpscare every 10 seconds and it’s not super violent and gory. It has a creepy, dreadful atmosphere with disturbing imagery, and it messes with your imagination. It’s definitely a must-watch if you’re a horror movie buff like me.

It definetly tried to make a scary character and scary noises. Dont you hear how the monster talks? Deep raspy voice almost similar to the grudge but more cringeworthy, also hes literally a dark figure thats not something very original.

Also, Kind of SPOILER ALERT I can handle monsters and crazed machete wielding killers. These are physical, tangible things. You can fight them, and even if winning is unlikely, you stand a chance. The supernatural has always been more scary to me, but beyond that, what happens in your head cannot be fought, cannot be killed, and you cannot hide from. It is you that you fear, and you cannot escape yourslf. To me, that is terror. Metaphor strong horror film. 5 stars from me.

***** Dude, the "monster" isn't a real monster. The Monster represents grief. So the fact she has got control over the "monster" reflects that she has finally got control over her grieving for her husband. The film tries to show this buy making the "monster" live in the room where all her husbands belongings are kept. The film is much more than a horror film, its a lot deeper than that.

WHY CAN'T MORE HORROR MOVIES BE LIKE THIS. IT PISSES ME OFF.

[@JKalama25799752]

Making these types of horror films are extremely risky though. The Babadook is lucky because it's still an underground film, horror movies like this that get mainstream attention are trashed to death by the public because they don't follow the same horror movie formula. Unfortunately that's what happened with The Blair Witch Project, here we have a masterpiece horror flick that's extremely unique and uses atmosphere rather than imagery to frighten the viewer, but it was completely condemned by the public for not showing any deaths or monsters therefore it was 'lame' and 'boring'. It's best if these kind of horror films are kept quiet so they get proper recognition from genuine film lovers and horror fans, rather than get bad mouthed by people who are frightened at the thought of using their brain during a film.

[@CunningCondor]

Well if more horror movies were like this (without being all the same, of course) it would be more recognized. But yeah, I loved Blair Witch as well. But I agree that silence is usually scrier than loud noises. I recommend you check out Marble Hornets on KZbin. Dat shit is scary, sun.

[@beccs5050]

CunningCondor Or check out The Mothman Prophecies. That is a pretty good horror film that doesn't use jump scares and monsters.

[@CunningCondor]

Ooh, I've heard of that movie.

[@JKalama25799752]

Ted Suehsdorf Well if you love sound and music you'll love The Babadook. It's also one of those horror films you have to watch alone to experience the actual fear. The whole film has such a creepy and eery feel to it, even the parts that are supposed to be the happier scenes dark. I love a good jump scare too, but atmosphere and music is what genuinely gets me frightened. The shining is a perfect example of hybrid horror for me, the atmosphere, music, and jump scares are all extremely frightening, the opening scene is enough to freak you out. I'm sure you've probably watched it already, but if you haven't you must. Snowtown Murders (more of a thriller than a horror, but still frightening otherwise), Alien, The Descent are all great hybrids too in my opinion. The Descent is the most intense, heart pounding horror film I've ever scene, it uses all of the major themes of fear perfectly (Heights, Claustrophobia, Darkness in particular) and don't even get me started on the jump scares, the music and cinematography are masterpieces and the ending is fantastic, definitely recommend if you haven't already.

[@gLeeksFF]

If you want to see a mindless jumpscare movie filled with cheap acting, lame effects, and a generic scary monster thats a piece of shit, this movie isnt for you. This movie is for those who actually have brains, and understand true horror movies dont need to rely on loud noises random shit popping on screen to scarw you. This movie messes with your head, it leaves you unsettled, the atmosphere gets under your skin, something which horror movies these days lack in.

[@El-qd2zu]

This is the best review I've read so far. I hate horrors with jump scares, fair enough the odd one or two but when they rely on them to make you scared it just becomes funny and annoying after a while instead of scary. If you say this movie messes with your head then I'm definitely going to see it, most horror movies are total pieces of crap these days.

This movie isn't for everyone, and that's honestly because it's not your typical horror movie. The monster itself isn't shown much, and it's more of a slow journey into insanity or an interpretation of a path away from grief, which to people who enjoy the many jump scares and loud scenes won't really get into.

[@johnharbinger7794]

Most people have no god damned clue about what this movie is about. It is influenced by a short story which is a bit similar. There are not many interpretations. There is one. The babadook is either only in the mother's head or it is a force that entered the mother because of her unstable emotions and impulses that start driving her insane. The buried impulse is to kill the child from the beginning. The child feels this and this is why he is afraid of the babadook. At first the mother cannot realise that her son sees her as his possible murderer because he senses the impulse. It is indeed a scary story but too intricate for a lot of viewers to grasp. They are too dumb to get the horror.

six6r 1)Yes I do assume that most have no idea because of comments. They say irrelevant things. I told you what it is about. It is partly influenced by the short story Angel face by celia fremlin, a part of it implies something related to jungian shadow and a part of it implies a ghost story because the entity might also be something real. My theory is not a theory. It is the obvious.2) Well, yes you can.

After all these years, after so many horror movies, nothing scared me quite like this one. This is special.

[@Asemafilmi]

I'm a film maker myself and just last year I finished my latest movie "Black Spring". After seeing Babadook I was amazed by the similarities with these films. I swear I didn't know anything about this movie before seeing it two weeks ago! I had lost very dear relative of mine year ago and I wanted to make a movie about thoughts and feelings I have. As in this movie, a grief turns into a supernatural form. The main difference is that my movie is more about searching reason when there's none and Babadook is about trying to make grief go away without dealing with it. That being said, the message is very similiar too: it's important to let go. And yeah, even though my movie is not nearly as good as the Babadook, I would like more people to see that :) It's Finnish film but I'm gonna add the english subtitles when our big "international release" happens Friday the 13th of March.

Saw the movie today. I'd have to say it's one of the most scariest movies I've seen. It's a very psychological film, it messes with your head. Anyone know any more horror movies like this? Not asking for stereotypical jumpscare-based horror films, but those that affect you mentally? They're definitely interesting to watch.

[@TheGiantpandaa]

Donnie Darko is one of my favorites, it's a psychological thriller and makes you think a lot about it.

One of the scariest movie ever! It's good because for most of the film everything is left to your imagination and THAT'S how you do a good horror film. Don't let us see the monster, just imagine it, it'll be a 1000 times scarier.

[@fuzzfizzwizz]

It wasn't scary...😑

[@karanhdream]

So mature

[@SheisGraceful]

I haven't seen the movie, but you are totally right. That's why these kind of movies always become more scary, because they don't show the "scary thing". Maybe slight shadows of this "creature", but not too much. We imagine what scares us the most. That's why it always seems scarier when someone for example retell a horror movie that they've seen to you, and you listen instead of seeing it in front of you. That means, that you again get to imagine everything yourself and what you imagine will be something that you're the most scared of. But most times, when you see the movie yourself, it turns out to be something that you have not expected and it dissapoints you. It's kind of like reading a book and then watching a movie. Why can the book maybe be better? When someone just describes something to you without showing you anything, you get to make up what will interest you the most. Maybe how a person looks for example. If the author describes features, you make up a whole face. If the author describes a person's characterestics, you make up a personality. Maybe someone else thinks that a person in a book has a different personality than you think, based on what they've interpreted from the same characterestics written about the person. You make up what will suit your mind best. Now it will be more fun for you to continue reading about this person. But maybe if you watch the movie, it isn't what you have imagined, but something else. Maybe that's because the movie, often, becomes less interesting to you because this character isn't made from your mind and interests.

[@veralidaine97]

That's why Insidious sucked for me. You get a clear look at the monster multiple times and it ruins it.

[@briankim0412]

babadook is a film about greif and pain of life. it is about istinct and fear. it is not a monster movie in any ways. the monster is the fragment of the mother's sadness and pain. it is about love as it is about greifm a perfectly executed psychological horror. i dont think you got the point. but in someways, you are correct. the movie scared the shit out of me with no jumpscares or an actuall paranormal being.

I've read a theory online that the Babadook is basically the mother's depression. And so at the end you can't really get rid of her depression so she learned how to accept it and move on. That whys she keeps the Babadook in the basement.

[@mikekell920]

SPOILER!! So it seems like at least half of the people who watch this film don't get it. The mother lost her husband in a car accident while he was driving her to deliver their first born child. The mother has repressed emotions of resentment and hatred to her child because deep down she blames him for the death of her husband. The babadook represents all the negative emotions that have been piling up since her sons birth and will soon come to a paramount of her wanting to murder her own child. She battles herself (the babadook) because although there is a lot of hatred toward her son she still loves him deep down. At the end of the film she keeps the babadook in the basement and feeds it which is a metaphor that she is able to live with her demons.

One of the best horror movies I have ever seen. If you think carefully... *SPOILER* I think the Babadook was actually Amelia's grief telling her to sacrifice the child because she can't get the fathers death out of her mind. And when Sam saw it, I think he was basically seeing his mother go crazy. Grief really doesn't go away, so you can't get rid of the Babadook. And the Babadook is also a vision of the father because that's what mainly her grief is about. And the Babadook is in the cellular because all of his memories are still there. I have a feeling I'm wrong because DID drag sam to the wall and Amelia is feeding it worms at the end. But that's what I think. Amazing movie.
