Six years after the violent death of her husband, Amelia (Essie Davis) has not recovered yet, but she has to educate Samuel (Noah Wiseman), her six-year-old son, who lives terrified by a monster that appears to her in dreams and threatens to kill them. When a disturbing storybook called “The Babadook” appears in her home, Samuel comes to the conviction that the Babadook is the creature he has been dreaming of.
