Critic Reviews of "The Babadook"
BuzzFeed NewsOctober 05, 2016A deftly inventive and psychologically charged horror story that trades on the ways in which the prospect of maternal failure can be just as fearsome a boogeyman as any monster under the bed.
The AtlanticJanuary 21, 2016The film has a solid grasp on the mutable, but ever-present pain of loss.
Globe and MailMarch 06, 2015The line between terrifying reality and terrifying fantasy isn't so much blurred as altogether obliterated.
Toronto StarMarch 05, 2015This simple yet shiver-inducing tale, the auspicious feature debut of Australian writer/director Jennifer Kent, makes for one of the better horror movies of recent times.
Toronto SunMarch 05, 2015It presents grief as a demon, questions reality, and creeps out the viewer by making psychopathology seem like something that could happen to anybody.
San Francisco ChronicleJanuary 15, 2015At its heart, "The Babadook" is a story of mother and son, whose relationship ultimately determines whether they survive the demon - or die trying.
ScreenCrushMarch 16, 2017It's become increasingly rare for horror films to make an effort to truly scare us these days, but Jennifer Kent's 'The Babadook' gets under the skin in ways that are both visceral and highly emotional.
London Evening StandardOctober 05, 2016The Babadook's villains and victims are still running amok in my brain. I think they might be there for some time.
The Sun (UK)October 05, 2016While short on terror this is a brilliantly acted and powerful film about a mother facing her demons.
Contactmusic.comOctober 05, 2016For her first feature, Australian actress-turned-filmmaker Jennifer Kent creates a startlingly effective horror movie by combining serious scariness with some darkly evocative emotion.
SF WeeklyOctober 05, 2016There are legitimate terrors here -- legitimate because, as any bleary-eyed parent will verify, they come from a real and terrible place. And for those who do enjoy at least some defiance of natural laws, The Babadook has that too.
Nashville SceneOctober 05, 2016What's most terrifying about The Babadook is that Kent grounds a bizarre supernatural premise in very real feelings of anxiety and depression.
