+I did it for the cat girls I worked in a book shop once and alot of old books have lots of blank pages at the end, probably due to bad planning etc., but you're not the only one I'm sure, have you seen the film? If not then all I'm gonna say is that something fills those pages later on...
How they made the Babadook seem friendly in the beginning of the book, how it made it seem like he was just simply waving to them. When later he is trying to sink his claws into her and looming over her door. Is amazing directing.
Psychological and survival terror is the only type horror movie/anything that genuinely gets to me includling this one, but it _rarely_ ever scares me shitless or seriously lingers afterwards. IMO real life is way too terrifying on its own for made up stories to bother me that much. (And in case you're wondering, yeah, the horror stories that are TOO real I just flat out hate. I watch/read stories to GET AWAY from reality and can't understand anyone who wants MORE of the horrible things that already exist.)
I like how the narration shifts from describing the babadook in the 3rd person for the first few pages, to speaking in 1st person AS the babadook, directly addressing the mother… right at the moment when she stops reading out loud. The filmmakers do so much with so little in this film.
what I love about this is that at 1:33 the monster goes from targeting the boy to targeting whoever's reading the book, as the monster leaves the book becoming 3d instead of 2d and faces the reader instead of the in-book child, while at the same time it opens it's mouth and has those teeth and eyes that signal to your brain "danger danger" as if it were a predator that's just now attacking, and it's hunting YOU.
This is so scary because it’s so relatable. I think we’ve all experienced something that scared us when we were kids that kept us up at night. This brings that feeling back.
I really loved this movie! People found Sam really annoying, but i thought he was cute. Plus the way he acted wasn't entirely his fault, his mom despised him pretty much so what do you expect. It wasn't till the end of the movie were both Sam and Amelia work together and care for one another. As for the ending, people dont understand it. Well first things off the Babadook isn't a demon, it represents Amelia's grief. "The more you deny me the stronger I get" When something happens to us and we are in grief we tend to hold onto it which is what Amelia is doing. However, it isn't till the end of the movie when Amelia finally accepts everything...That;'s why it ends the way it does. You can never get rid of grief, you can only accept it.
ShinedownX01 Probably the reason why they hated the child is because the movie only revolves around the mother, not the child, which of course you two knew about that. Many people just didn't understand. If the movie revolved around the child, the mother would be the bad person.
@@isatherebel1520 because her husband died on the way to the hospital so she could give birth to him. In her mind she associated him with the death of her husband. The film is about her spiralling depression and how she creates the Babadook book (she was a children's story writer) which ultimately leads to her coming to terms with it.
I watched it at 3 am the first time I saw it and I woke up two hours later to noises coming from inside my closet (not unusual, actually) and I was scared shitless.
The Babadook book could possibly have possessed the mother and gotten her to read more of the book. Mr. Babadook is a representation of grief and depression.
The blank pages mean the story hasn't been finished. She is the one who wrote the book and kept writing it in a state of delusion and deep trance. She just didn't remember it. This movie was brilliant from start to finish.
Fucking masterful camerawork and sound design... It almost sounded like they used cicada sounds for the "Babadook" theme. Its "theme" that starts and builds slowly everytime the book is opened, sounds like a warm spring night here in Maryland with insects chirping. But they incorporated it into the sound design to the point where it almost becomes part of the atmosphere, and you don't even realize its a sound effect anymore till an onscreen character closes the book and it cuts off. And then the sound designers have you because for the rest of the film, they can blend in that chirping/cicada sound, and you automatically associate it with the Babadook to the point where they don't even need to build atmosphere because their sound is so strong!
Good comment, and you could be right. Cicada's are the background noise of lot's of Australian suburbs. You almost stop hearing them. I'm sure it's like that in lot's of places around the world.
Its that moment where she stops reading in that comforting voice and you the viewer, are left to read the line "and you won't sleep a wink" It's like at that moment a sense of dread and danger washes over you as you realise you aren't safe. Such a brilliant movie, probably one of the best horrors I've ever watched.
God that movie was so good. We've all been through this feeling of pure horror being genuinely terrified by a scary story as a kid, we can all feel that again with that scene. What I love is the complexity of the fear we felt, the fact that even if our parents were around, there was nothing they could really do to make us feel better, less frightened, safe. This movie made me feel that again, and what a scary feeling !
Grief is insidious. It seems so simple, yes. But as it envelopes you, with everything, it becomes so taxing, yes. A death and a loss can seem so hurtful, of this we humans know. But the tax of grief and sorrow, is more than we allow. The Babadook is within all people, a hurtful friend to all. But to understand and comprehend, he can surely become so small. A Babadook lies in all of us, folks familiar with loss. He's a meaning, a Metaphor, though for some, at much cost. Grief is horrid, it is deadly, for some it cannot be beared. Sadness is a feeling, for all, it's always shared. But to deal with a Babadook, to move past all the guilt, One must understand this fact: Weep, but never wilt. It is okay to mourn those we can no longer see, but to let the Babadook consume us, our Grief becomes his Glee. Understand your feelings, and feel them once in a while, for to understand the Babadook is to heal in feet and miles. If we can understand the Babadook, we can find a better way, than allowing sadness to grip us, forever and always.
Finally, you have a best friend, Wonderful and nice. This is Mr. Babadook. At first you will only hear a knock, when he suddenly appears in the darkness. What"s happened? What"s the sound? Can you hear that? Knock-knock-knock. Your friend is taking shape and wants to meet you. On the third knock, its time to run, because he decided to pick you up. Don"t wait for salvation. There"s only one nightmare ahead. Your guest has arrived. Tremble and be afraid, cover your head with fear. will come to you from the darkness. And the morning will never come again.
The thing that gave me chills was when she opened up the book after tearing it up and there was written "I'll wager with you I'll make you a bet the more you deny the stronger I get"
I realize the line “he’s funny don’t you think” is not only how the mother sees her own grief but probably how the boy also views his mother’s grieving. He finds it strange how she acts because of it but he doesn’t quite understand why she’s like that.
@@alecjones4676I think he ment he finds the way she's acting "funny," not the humorous kind of funny but sort of strange since she's slowly loosing her sanity
I like how you can hear the Babadook cicada whirring sound when the book is opened, but when it closes it disappears. Nice attention to detail, since that sound is what petrified the mom later
I remember watching this on Netflix years ago while I was looking for something to really get on my nerves at 3am. I'm big on horror so nothing scares me that much anymore, and I'm also one of those people who complains when the movie is shitty, plot, effects, and acting wise. I went in without knowing more about this movie, and the moment I knew it was gonna be good was when this scene alone made the hairs on my arm stand up. It's like when I accidentally got up at 3am while the TV is on and watched The Thing without knowing about what I was watching. Truly was horrified as a kid back then.
I think the babadook represents grief. You can only learn to overcome the fear of the grief once you’ve accepted it.Amelia and Sam went through the stages of grief with babadook. Denial, bargaining, anger and acceptances.
Any reasonable parent would get one page into this book and go "aight, this is going in the trash." Like ah yes, this totally evil looking book is the perfect thing to read to my child before they go to bed.
This film portrays the child having behavioral issues, which becomes understandable since he is a little bastard in the first, and second act. But in the third act, we realize that his mother, being an abusive parent to the child, we see that the child's behavior is seen through the mothers eyes, and he acts that way because of the abuse and hatred that his mother inflicted on him.
The scariest children book I've ever seen :). Where can I buy it? Just kidding, I don't want Mister Babadook to be growing under my skin. Awesome horror film, I had to see it twice, to catch all of the consequences. Really scary and terrifying daemon and his book is fucking brilliant. It's in the word it's in the look.. You can't get rid of Babadook...
If you notice, the cockroach-like buzzing sound that the babadook makes starts when she opens the book, stops the second she closes it, and then starts again when she opens it again.
This is one of those rare horror films that rewards non-literal and thematic readings, the way the main horror seems to be a concept, or instability, that possesses the mother more than the child, and threatens his safety through her instability, like a metaphor for her fear of her own deteriorating mental condition and her capacity to hurt her own child. It's got legs, this one.
The sound of her sliding the book across the top at the very end of the clip made me jump, and I thought her arm coming into view was something rising up behind her. You know a scene is tense as all hell when a quiet sound and an ordinary motion in full view of the camera manages to be a jump scare.
Several pages of the book are blank because the demon is out of the book, and therefore his story is continuing, and Amelia more than likely created the book in an amnesiac state. So when the book reappears, with the pages filled rather than blank, she is continuing the monster's story. She is creating and empowering him.
This movie wasn't great but I gotta say it was better than I expected. I had low hopes for it but it wasn't actually all that bad. This scene in particular was pretty creepy.
I don't care what the book is or looks like if i come home and see a book in my room with no knowledge of now it got there I'm either selling it or destroy it. For this id sell it and hope no one reads it since apparently you can't destroy it.
..........NOOOOOOOOO I've already seen that movie before and it gave me nightmares and I'm not kidding a give me nightmares for an entire week and I don't want to see it again 😫
And since that time, my lovely boyfriend, imitate the voice of babadook when i shut the light just before sleeping. 😅😅😅😅 He growls : Ba ba doooooook 🙈🙈👹👹👹
After the last page there is actually more pages, I know this because "The Babadook" is a real book you can buy, the rest of the pages are just scarier than the ones we see here. :)
guys im literally begging you not to watch this movie. my friend saw it and he killed himeslf shortly afterwards. he left a suicide note that said "i can't get rid of the babadook" before he hung himself in his closet. we all miss him dearly
He found it on the shelf of course. He says so in this clip. :P As to how it got there.... well, *SPOILERS* . . . . . . . . . it's implied that his mother made the book years ago during a psychotic episode and forgot about it when she came to her senses. Or that the book is the property of a demon (Mr. Babadook) that targeted her and her son, having been lured into their home by the mother's unresolved grief and all of her pent-up stress that's been building up over the years since the father died. You could interpret it either way.
goji3755 *SPOILERS* Sam’s mom wrote the book and forgot that she made it. In the scene where she had charcoal on her hands, it wasn’t from burning the book. It was from rewriting it after burning the original during another psychotic episode. Mister Babadook is a metaphor for the mom’s grief over her husband. There was one scene where the Babadook even disguised himself as her husband, heavily hinting that the Babadook was a metaphor for her grief. So long story short, the mom created the book, which means out of grief, she also created the Babadook. Also, fun fact: “Babadook” is an anagram for “A Bad Book.”
Everyone before me kind of summed it up but also * SPOILER ALERT* It was mentioned that Amelia used to make children's books for a local publisher. She even had craft supplies and paint seen at a few times in her house.
That book is genuinely terrifying

+Ivana Ignatova You don't understand what psychological horror is then. And nobody cares how old you are, just saying.
The director of The Exorcist said The Babadook was the most terrifying film he'd ever seen. That says something.

Seemed like the Mom was doing a shit job at taking care of him.
That tends to result in kids who are shitty.

Grief is insidious. It seems so simple, yes.
But as it envelopes you, with everything,
it becomes so taxing, yes.
A death and a loss can seem so hurtful, of this we humans know.

is more than we allow.
The Babadook is within all people,
a hurtful friend to all.
But to understand and comprehend,
he can surely become so small.
A Babadook lies in all of us,

He's a meaning, a Metaphor,
though for some, at much cost.
Grief is horrid, it is deadly,
for some it cannot be beared.
Sadness is a feeling,
for all, it's always shared.
But to deal with a Babadook,
to move past all the guilt,
One must understand this fact:
Weep, but never wilt.
It is okay to mourn those we can no longer see,

Everytime the book is opened up and she starts reading it you hear a faint but horrible static buzz in the background. Anybody picked up on that?
Several pages of the book are blank because the demon is out of the book, and therefore his story is continuing, and Amelia more than likely created the book in an amnesiac state.

From the creators of the Umbrella Corporation, comes Umbrella Entertainment.
One of the first horror films I ever watched. What a way to be introduced to the genre.
The child is infuriating which actually means he’s an excellent actor !
I don't care what the book is or looks like if i come home and see a book in my room with no knowledge of now it got there I'm either selling it or destroy it. For this id sell it and hope no one reads it since apparently you can't destroy it.
FIRST Why the HELL do they have that book?!!!!
I pretty sure it came with the house so they got it for free anf just chose it
the Babadook gave it to them; she tries to get rid of it throughout the movie but it comes back… the Babadook puts it back.
The children choir in the background only makes it creepier
..........NOOOOOOOOO I've already seen that movie before and it gave me nightmares and I'm not kidding a give me nightmares for an entire week and I don't want to see it again 😫
Had the same parenting experience reading ‘Mr Tickle’ to my 3 year old - chilling stuff
I think I would like this movie more if the protagonists weren't so irritating.
Ugh IKR?!
Their personalities are important for the plot
And since that time, my lovely boyfriend, imitate the voice of babadook when i shut the light just before sleeping. 😅😅😅😅 He growls : Ba ba doooooook 🙈🙈👹👹👹
Gosh samuel is the cutest thing ever💜
This is purely based on what stress, depression and anxiety will do to your head.
I read this book for bedtime 😊😊😊😊
The 「BABADOOK」is my Stand!
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-DOOK!!!
Never Read The Babadook Book Gives You Nightmare
My favorite horror movie ever.
Her voice is perfect for ASMR
I want this book!!!!Where can I get one?
Mitelli the fuck bro
I had 2 of these books but I sold one. They were sold for a limited time.
After the last page there is actually more pages, I know this because "The Babadook" is a real book you can buy, the rest of the pages are just scarier than the ones we see here. :)
You can buy a replica of the book online.
The pictures are just terrifying
How to escape from babadook
Step 1: Never read the book
This movie was underrated
When the kid throws a tantrum, it gives me bad cailuo vibes
This movie is truly terrifying. I love it

Best Horror Movie Ever!
*if the babadook came to my house i’d set up a small little tea party.*
guys im literally begging you not to watch this movie. my friend saw it and he killed himeslf shortly afterwards. he left a suicide note that said "i can't get rid of the babadook" before he hung himself in his closet. we all miss him dearly
my question is where did Samuel even find that hellish book

Here is a better question: Who wrote the book? (There is a hint in the movie.)
He found it on the shelf of course. He says so in this clip. :P
As to how it got there.... well, *SPOILERS*

it's implied that his mother made the book years ago during a psychotic episode and forgot about it when she came to her senses. Or that the book is the property of a demon (Mr. Babadook) that targeted her and her son, having been lured into their home by the mother's unresolved grief and all of her pent-up stress that's been building up over the years since the father died. You could interpret it either way.

*SPOILERS*
Sam’s mom wrote the book and forgot that she made it. In the scene where she had charcoal on her hands, it wasn’t from burning the book. It was from rewriting it after burning the original during another psychotic episode.
Mister Babadook is a metaphor for the mom’s grief over her husband. There was one scene where the Babadook even disguised himself as her husband, heavily hinting that the Babadook was a metaphor for her grief.
So long story short, the mom created the book, which means out of grief, she also created the Babadook.
Also, fun fact: “Babadook” is an anagram for “A Bad Book.”
Everyone before me kind of summed it up but also
* SPOILER ALERT*
It was mentioned that Amelia used to make children's books for a local publisher. She even had craft supplies and paint seen at a few times in her house.
