A widowed mother is haunted by a boogeyman.

The first half or so of the film is stressful to watch. That's necessary for the later parts to work as well as they do, though, and there are more than enough great ideas and images in the film to make the unpleasant parts worth enduring.

Seis años después de la violenta muerte de su marido, Amelia (Essie Davis) no se ha recuperado todavía, pero tiene que educar a Samuel (Noah Wiseman), su hijo de seis años, que vive aterrorizado por un monstruo que se le aparece en sueños y amenaza con matarlos. Cuando un inquietante libro de cuentos llamado “The Babadook” aparece en su casa, Samuel llega al convencimiento de que el Babadook es la criatura con la que ha estado soñando. Entonces sus alucinaciones se hacen show more incontrolables y su conducta, impredecible y violenta. Amelia, cada vez más asustada, se ve forzada a medicarle. Pero, de repente, empieza a sentir a su alrededor una presencia siniestra que la lleva a pensar que los temores de su hijo podrían ser reales. (FILMAFFINITY) show less
