The Babadook

CUFF brings you THE BABADOOK - The best reviewed horror film of 2014

Six years after the violent death of her husband, Amelia (Essie Davis) struggles to discipline her ‘out of control’ 6 year-old, Samuel (Noah Wiseman). 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. Then Amelia too begins to see glimpses of a sinister presence all around her, and it slowly dawns on her that the thing Samuel has been warning her about may be real.
