60 of 170 · most liked firstJennifer Kent kicked off "elevated horror" in 2014 with THE BABADOOK. Her next film flopped, and she never made another. Ana Lily Amirpour made A GIRL WALKS HOME ALONE AT NIGHT; her next film flopped, now she directs TV episodes. *Julia Ducournau* had a movie out last year & I didn't hear about it.
unlabelledView post →This is a whole thread but the bottom line is they made like 9 hours of IT movie without a single scare you'll think about the next day. I'm sorry, but we can all go watch The Babadook or Hereditary or The Witch now, and could by then as well. Step your fucking game up, you've got no excuses
unlabelledView post →If people talked about sound films the way they talk about silents… “I’ve seen every Adam Sandler movie, The Babadook and The Seventh Seal, so my greatest sound films of all time are those, basically. Did you know all sound films have chess scenes? Random but they do.”
unlabelledView post →There was about a ten year period when this is what movies were. Paris Hilton was in Cat in the Hat and now seeing any image from that film is like seeing the Babadook
unlabelledView post →Sophie Thatcher will play dual roles in THE GIRL WHO WAS PLUGGED IN, the new movie from The Babadook director Jennifer Kent. The surreal dystopian science fiction tale revolves around a woman who loses her soul to technology in an effort to be loved. Source: @deadline.com
unlabelledView post →You try explaining Widows Bay to the uniniated and they just hear "Scary Movie on the beach". THEN you say the showrunner is the author of "the Babadook tweet" and suddenly they get the appeal-

unlabelledView post →Since Under the Skin it's actually a little tough to think of a great horror movie that doesn't rest on a performance by a woman. Obviously there are tons but when you think of that big burst of The Witch, The Babadook, It Follows, Hereditary, a bit later on Us and Midsommar—that's "elevated horror"
unlabelledView post →For those struggling with the constant foghorn of despair that is social media in 2026, a timeline cleanse: Jennifer Kent's 2005 short film MONSTER (later to become the feature film THE BABADOOK), starring drag, burlesque and hula hooping superstar Trash Vaudeville in the title role ❤️
unlabelledView post →Could you guys give me horror/thriller movie recommendations?. I am a longtime horror fan who's searching for a good horror movies to watch. A movie like *The Exorcist* that actually made me feel scared. Something that's inherently scary, and not because of jump scares. I have watched many popular horror movies and movie series like the *Anabelle*, *The Insidious* (my favourite), The Conjuring (another favourite), *The Babadook* and more. I am looking for movies set in 90s, 70s or earlier, that…

unlabelledView post →I always thought this is exactly what that movie The Babadook is truly about - keeping your grieving hidden, even from yourself, until it comes back to devour you
unlabelledView post →Daddy's Head is a fantastic, frightening film about death and grief and family. If you're a fan of The Babadook or folk horror, definitely check it out. The movie is streaming on Shudder.
unlabelledView post →(Shared this elsewhere). I was typing and HEARD it on the TV before I saw it. Slowly turned my head like a horror movie toward the TV and saw Manny standing at the plate. Like glimpsing the Babadook, but then you turn on the lights and it was just some clothes in the corner hamper.
unlabelledView post →It’s cute how old horror novels are always in the form of letters so you don’t have to be scared. It’s like if they released The Babadook but it was just us watching some guy watching the movie The Babadook and we could go wow seems pretty spooky…that guy really doesn’t like the Babadook
unlabelledView post →One film not in English; Divine is the only trans character or performer mentioned; not a single non-white character; no films from outside Eurowestern context; nothing earlier than 70s or more recent than The Babadook. This is so incredibly embarrassing. www.dumptheguardian.com/film/2026/ju...
unlabelledView post →Picking a random film from my collection to show off for no real reason! Day #314 "The Nightingale" (Jennifer Kent/2018) An incredibly difficult to watch but powerful revenge film. Jennifer Kent wrote and directed both this and The Babadook, that's two fucking belters right there folks!
unlabelledView post →You think we’ll ever get a movie of M3gan, Chucky and the Babadook teaming up to just shred a bunch of bigots?
unlabelledView post →Something that is fucking wild to me is that I own one of the Babadook books signed by the movie Director So I could have a Babadook book in a background of one of my videos and it’s not even a decoration, it’s the real thing 😭💀
unlabelledView post →My awesome horror movie of the day is DADDY'S HEAD. This is a fantastic, frightening film about death and grief and family. If you're a fan of The Babadook or folk horror, definitely check it out.
unlabelledView post →We watched Bring Her Back the other night. Gnarly as hell, but an instructive film if you're interested in why the similarly themed Hereditary and The Babadook are classics of the A24 Horror era but this isn't. You can feel the difference somehow.
unlabelledView post →So apparently there isn’t even a mummy in Lee Cronin’s The Mummy. Just a very dehydrated (but still living) possessed little girl. That’s like promoting a vampire movie but the villain turns out to be the Babadook.
unlabelledView post →Reminds me of when I watched the Babadook with my mom and she came away offended and thinking all the other people in the film were very mean to the mom.
unlabelledView post →Yesterday’s Eyes Have It Monster: the Man in the Beaver Hat, from London After Midnight (1927). The Babadook design (Friday’s monster) is generally believed to be an homage to this lost film.
unlabelledView post →fun detail: that header image of Lon Chaney is from the lost 1927 film London After Midnight - his character was a heavy visual inspiration for the look of the Babadook
unlabelledView post →“Whenever I see a sound movie, I realize just how much The Babadook pioneered. Like, cellar scenes, can you get over it? Amazing. And multiple characters. It was the first— okay, you dweeb, *one of the first* movies with multiple characters. Well, if there were others, why haven’t I heard of them?”
unlabelledView post →“Did you know The Babadook was the first Australian movie? What? It wasn’t? Okay, *one of the first* Australian movies, are you happy now? Anyway, women in sound movies just aren’t funny, so you basically just need Sandler and Bill Cosby and that’s it.”
unlabelledView post →Today, I finished off a scholarly-esque essay about the novel It, its movie adaptation, and how Pennywise (and the Babadook) was briefly considered a queer icon. I did my level best to explain meme culture to an audience that may not know what that is. (Art credit @marie3vangeline.bsky.social)
unlabelledView post →#Watched Carved: The Slit-Mouthed Woman (2007) - Bad moms. Cycles of child abuse. Like The Babadook, Shiraishi centers his Kuchisake-onna film right in the collective anxieties of children and parents and teachers, bad, good, complicit. It’s a fascinating take on the urban legend/yokai. /1
unlabelledView post →20) THE BABADOOK pop-up book. An exact facsimile of the one in the movie and signed by the director Jennifer Kent. One of the coolest books I own.
unlabelledView post →Jennifer Kent has a permanent spot on the Real Ones list. Could have taken any number of big Hollywood jobs after The Babadook and chose to direct an utterly uncompromising movie about the horrors of colonialism instead, possibly torpedoing her career in the process
unlabelledView post →If I Had Legs I’d Kick You: The Babadook without the release valve of a monster, as stressful as a movie can be. Byrne is deservedly going to get a lot of hype for this for how much she cracks but imo the real genius of her performance is all the little reflexive expressions trying to look fine
unlabelledView post →DADDY’S HEAD, an overall impressive horror film with a handful of quite scary sequences, is a key example of The Babadook Problem, ie: “How annoying can you make the kid before it actively interferes with the rest of the film?”
unlabelledView post →How ‘The Babadook’ Became the Most Iconic Horror Movie of the Decade. >“If it’s in a word, or it’s in a look, you can’t get rid of the Babadook,” goes the famous line in Jennifer Kent’s 2014 horror classic of that name. Ten years after its original release, though, The Babadook’s storybook rhyme needs updating: Today, it’s in sitcoms, reality TV competitions, and stop-motion sketch comedy shows, too. Like Amelia (Essie Davis) and her son, Samuel (Noah Wiseman), popular culture can’t get rid of…
unlabelledView post →86. The Babadook: Not at all what I thought it was gonna be. Solid horror movie! 87. Millennium Actress: Great visuals, interesting themes, but I wasn't a fan of the actual story. 88. Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit: I love Aardman's animation. Great childhood movie to return to.

unlabelledView post →Enjoying everyone’s “a film that takes place where you’re from” posts but last time I was homesick and googled “films set in Adelaide” to see if there was something fun and homey to watch, the results were: “The Babadook”, “Snowtown” and that one about a haunted severed hand
unlabelledView post →*The Thing* (John Carpenter, 1982). Not gory, so much as *gooey*. *The Babadook*. *The Mist*. Based on a book by Steven King. King admits the movie ending is better than his own. *10 Cloverfield Lane*. It's standalone, don't worry if you haven't seen Cloverfield *Annihilation*. The bear freaks me out. *Event Horizon*. Sci-Fi/Horror Original *Ghostbusters* from 1984. *Gremlins* *No One Will Save You*. The ending is weird, but the suspense is top-notch. *The 'Burbs*. Classic…
unlabelledView post →The Babadook, Jennifer Kent's debut film (based on the short, Monster) is a great film. I want that kids book that was in the movie. Most of us have seen it. But she made another film in 2018 called The Nightingale. The movie is quite amazing. My wife was transfixed to the screen. Highly recommend!
unlabelledView post →Every horror movie these days is the Babadook. We have Babadooks for every kind of trauma and problem.
unlabelledView post →I enjoy the Babadook but I always hesitate to rewatch it because of that annoying ass kid. Which is exactly the point of the movie, I realize.

unlabelledView post →No spoilers, but see WEAPONS soon. Imo, it joins the pantheon of riveting & iconic horror filmmaking alongside modern classics like Get Out, Hereditary, and The Babadook. My favorite movie so far this year.
unlabelledView post →Starve Acre review – Matt Smith and Morfydd Clark hole up in brooding Yorkshire folk-horror. "Watch enough genre movies and you will realise that grief is inevitably a doorway to all kinds of darkness. Daniel Kokotajlo’s creepily atmospheric adaptation of Andrew Michael Hurley’s novel is the latest in a long list of films (including The Babadook and Don’t Look Now) that harness bereavement in the service of horror. Juliette (Morfydd Clark) and her archaeologist husband, Richard (Matt Smith),…

unlabelledView post →Tom here! My horror is supernatural. Ask for my favorite villain tomorrow and I'll answer differently, but today: From lit: Dracula. I love the gothic mystique about him at the start. From film: The Babadook. I saw that film when I got back into writing and it had an effect. #HorrorWritersChat

unlabelledView post →Movies that actually left me feeling unnerved: The Witch Bone Tomahawk The Babadook XTRO The Hills Have Eyes (1977) Top "fun" or interesting but not haunting horror movies: Alien The Thing Friday The 13th Part 6 Evil Dead 2 House (1985) (A lot of runner ups in the fun category, including basically all of the Jeffery Combs catalog, but I'm not even sure those can be considered "horror" instead of comedy with horror trappings. Similar to Dead Heat and the like.)

unlabelledView post →This is also true of the horror movie genre - people think it’s a compliment to say they wouldn’t even categorise “The Babadook” as horror.
