Amelia (Essie Davis), a single mother plagued by her husband's violent death, lives with her son Samuel (Noah Wiseman). One night Samuel asks Amelia to read him a book he finds on a shelf, called Babadook. Amelia finds the book disturbing, and quickly burns it. However, the story isn’t over as she soon discovers a sinister presence lurking in the house.
As her son begins to act out of control, and she begins seeing things, her life soon becomes a fight for survival. The Babadook is coming for her son, and she will have to face her darkest fears as she tries to protect him.
In honor of the 10th anniversary of the iconic indie horror film THE BABADOOK, the modern classic will return to theaters featuring an exclusive Q&A with writer/director Jennifer Kent.
