Christmas e-card from The Babadook

December 24, 2014 by Gary Collinson

IFC Films has released a Christmas e-card for the New Zealand horror The Babadook (which Flickering Myth co-editor Luke Owen called the best film of FrightFest and one of the best movies of the year) entitled ‘How the ‘Dook Stole Christmas’, and you can check it out here…

Six years after the violent death of her husband, Amelia (Essie Davis) is at a loss. She struggles to discipline her ‘out of control’ 6-year-old, Samuel (Noah Wiseman), a son she finds impossible to love. Samuel’s dreams are plagued by a sinister monster he believes is coming to kill them both.

When a disturbing storybook called ‘The Babadook’ turns up at their house, Samuel is convinced that the Babadook is the creature he’s been dreaming about. His hallucinations spiral out of control and as he becomes more unpredictable and violent, Amelia is genuinely frightened by her son’s behaviour.

But when Amelia begins to see glimpses of a sinister presence all around her, it slowly dawns on her that the thing Samuel has been warning her about may be real.
