Hey guys, Jana here,
Hopefully you’ve had the chance to fall in love, or fear, with ‘The Babadook‘, if not here comes another chance when this newly minted classic horror debuts on Special Edition Blu-ray, Standard Blu-ray and DVD available everywhere April 14th, 2015 from Scream Factory.
The film starts a little slow focusing on Amelia who lost her husband in a car crash on the way to give birth to their son, and how she struggles with the daily issues of being a single mom. Her son, Samuel, seems to be afraid of just about everything. He has deep fears of monsters and does not overcome the scares which leads Amelia into isolation as her friends, who are unsure of how to help, back out of her life. At a particularly bad low point, Samuel is read a story by Amelia that talks about the ‘Babadook‘ monster that hides in the dark. Samuel feels the effects of the Babadook and even Amelia feels the darkness. The film builds slowly at first, but is one of those movies that stays in the back of your mind, creeping up whenever you turn the light off, you begin to question if you’re really alone in your room, the staying power this film has it phenomenal! I highly recommend checking it out!
