As a widowed mother tries and fails to deal with the violent death of her husband she also has trouble coping with her son in the Australian horror film, The Babadook. Finding herself annoyed at every outburst from her son a mysterious book appears in her home filled with scary and violent imagery. She tries to burn it, but it only reappears and the feature depicted within begins to show up in real life, making her look insane to the rest of the world. This slow burn horror exists as a metaphor for the all-consuming feeling grief and proves that some monsters can’t be killed, only tamed.
