Just watched it...Netflix...
And wow.
Really good, suspenseful flick...the Babadook's voice is over the top scary...gave me chills.
All in all, no surprises here, if you have any common sense, you can figure out what the Babadook represents...whether it's real or not, that's up to your opinion...
But the basis, premise of the flick is amazing and I don't think, has been touched on before by cinema.
At least not that I've seen.
Gorgeous presentation/portrait of a mother/widow at her wit's end with grief, loneliness, sexual frustration...
And great cameo of sorts by John Bunting, the killer from Snowtown. I know his name isn't John Bunting, that was the killer, but still...I dunno the actor's name.
Overall, 9 out of 10...just an excellent movie, very well acted.

I'm looking forward to watching this again. If I could only get my wife to watch it with me.

Great movie

I had to watch it again, but the babadook is a great movie. Do you think the babadook represents Her grief and all the stress and then she just locks it away or learns how to control it? Australia has had so many great horror movies come out just like wolf creek.

Yes, the babadook is her emotions.

Much agreed with Rawhead! LOVED that creepy voice.
I personally don't know if the Babadook is supposed to be her emotions or an actual bad entity haunting the mother and child, but I like that it's up for the audience to decide. I like it as either since I enjoy a psychological thriller or a spook story.

But don't tell me. It's probably for the best.
