You can’t get rid of this poster for The Babadook

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

Last week we got our hands on the incredibly creepy trailer for the Australian horror film THE BABADOOK, which seemingly came out of nowhere. Well, folks, we now have a poster to go along with that shit inducing trailer that puts the storybook monster on display. The film will be distributed internationally by Entertainment One International, but we're expecting this one to get picked up for U.S. distro very soon, so be on the lookout for that!

Six years after the death of her husband, Amelia struggles to discipline her “out-of-control” six-year-old Samuel – a son she finds difficult to love. Samuel’s dreams are plagued by a 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. And when Amelia begins to see glimpses of the creature herself, it slowly dawns on her that the thing Samuel has been warning her about may well be real.

Directed by Jennifer Kent, THE BABADOOK stars Essie Davis, Noah Wiseman, Daniel Henshall, Hayley McElhinney, Barbara West and Ben Winspear.
