In this episode of Movie Club, we're diving into the psychological horror film, The Babadook. This Australian film, directed by Jennifer Kent, tells the story of a single mother, Amelia, who is struggling to raise her young son, Samuel, after the death of her husband.
As Amelia and Samuel's relationship becomes more strained, they begin to experience terrifying occurrences that seem to be connected to a mysterious children's book called The Babadook. Is the book responsible for the strange events, or is there something more sinister at play?
Join us as we discuss the film's themes of grief, motherhood, and mental illness. We'll also explore the impressive performances of Essie Davis and Noah Wiseman as Amelia and Samuel, as well as the striking visual style design that makes The Babadook such an unforgettable viewing experience.
Whether you're a horror aficionado or just looking for a thought-provoking and terrifying film grab your popcorn and join us for this episode of Movie Club.
