The Babadook. 2014.
A single parent grief stricken of her husband's death, decides to read her 6 year old son a book called Mister Babadook which frightens him. Soon her son thinks the monster in the book has manifested itself from the pages to the house and slowly torments them.
This was not what I expected this film to be, I intentionally thought this was going to be a boogeyman or ghost in the house horror film but more psychological movie that deals with grief and depression showing itself in different ways and a slow decent into paranoia that Jack Torrance would be proud of. The acting from Essie Davis and Noah Wiseman is good only downside was the slow pace to film a lot and could hardly hear what was being said.
