Jennifer Kent’s eerie, emotional horror masterpiece gets a well deserved special edition.
Essie Davis plays Amelia, a single mother struggling with the grief she still feels after the death of her partner. At the same time, her six-year-old son Samuel (Noah Wiseman) is driving her up the wall as his behaviour grows increasingly difficult – and that’s before the demonic Mister Babadook shows up and starts to wreak havoc in their lives.
