Bring me the boy.

Rating: 7/10 (21 February 2018)

The film centers on Amelia (Essie Davis) and her son Samuel (Noah Wiseman). Dad was killed in an accident the same day Samuel was born. Amelia works at a retirement community. Samuel has an overactive imagination about the Babadook, an entity that is in the home and after him. His obsession leads him manufacturing "Home Alone" weapons and makes him unruly and creepy. Mom has difficulty coping. In the second half of the film, mom is drawn in as expected, and the only question remains is the reality of the situation.
The film was a well done monster in closet type of genre. This is the type of film my mom would have me watch as a kid, then she would walk around looking crazy carrying a knife. Not that I turned out okay or anything.
Guide: 2 f-bombs. No nudity. 1 vibrator use, nothing graphic.
