The Babadook

The Babadook is a 2014 Australian horror film written and directed by Jennifer Kent for Causeway Films. It stars Essie Davis, Hayley McElhinney and Daniel Hanshall. The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, held in Utah, in January 2014.

BabadookFeature

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…

‘The Babadook is, to me, like Cooties - strong films that are very close to being absolutely excellent. I think The Babadook is still a great movie, I just wish that Kent had tightened up that last act a bit. Her chops are extraordinary, though, and The Babadook will definitely give nightmares to many viewers. It’s a movie that uses dread and suspense, not cheap jump scares. It’s also a movie that unsettles with deep psychological unpleasantness. And it’s got a pretty killer title, as well.’ Devin Faraci, Badass Digest

‘The part of any horror movie that always seems to go wrong is the ending. Very rarely is there a satisfying conclusion to these kinds of films, but The Babadook gives us an ending that fans of the genre will love and be proud of. There’s some awesome tension and dread that builds throughout the whole film, and the payoff of it all is brilliant.’ Joey Paur, Geek Tyrant

the-babadook-4-800x500__span

eden-caceda-essie-davis-the-babadook

‘Stronger in terms of its psychological unease than its fright factor, the film may spark comparison with last year’s bracing retro surprise, The Conjuring. At the risk of giving too much away, it also messes with the most sacred of familial bonds, featuring another mother gulping down a mouthful of bad energy and turning ugly on her kid. But this is a different kind of nail-biter that has less to do with demonic possession than with the renegade power of an untamed imagination.’ David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter

The Babadook is a mixture of haunted house flick, monster movie, and a couple other of horror subgenres I won’t mention in order to avoid spoilers.  The larger point is that Kent has created a hybrid picture that attacks the viewer on multiple fronts.  The Babadook is the monster whose reach extends beyond the closet, and its wrath manifests in unexpected and terrifying ways.  But Kent never rushes the terror, and the dread is palatable throughout the story.  Radoslaw Ladczuk’s effective cinematography adds to the moody atmosphere with its heavy use of shadow and stark contrasts.  Even when the Babadook isn’t on screen, his unnerving presence is always felt.’ Matt Goldberg, Collider

Inside No.9 is a British BBC comedy television series that begins on February 5, 2014. It stars Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith (The League of Gentlemen) and is a follow up the multi-award-winning Psychoville. The working title was Happy Endings. A second series of Inside No.9 has already been ordered by BBC2

What goes on behind closed doors on the street where you live? Inside No. 9 invites viewers into six very different No. 9s, where the ordinary and mundane rub shoulders with the extraordinary and macabre. From a grand country house where a game of ‘sardines’ leads to some chilling revelations in a wardrobe; to a very oddly haunted house; to a blood-soaked actor’s dressing room in London’s West End; to the flat of an apparently happy primary school teacher who becomes the victim of a good deed; these unpredictable tales feature high comedy and claustrophobic horror by turns.

An anthology of tales of the genuinely unexpected, the episode titles are: Sardines, The Harrowing, A Quiet Night In, Last Gasp, The Understudy, and Tom And Gerri.

Sardines: It is the day of Rebecca and Jeremy’s engagement party, and everyone (well, nearly everyone) has turned up to the old house to wish them well. Except that one of the bedrooms – the one with all the old baggage in it – has been left unlocked…

Starring Reece Shearsmith as Stu and Steve Pemberton as Carl. Guest starring Timothy West as Andrew; Anne Reid as Geraldine; Anna Chancellor as Elizabeth; Mark Wootton as Stinky John; Tim Key as Ian; Luke Pasqualino as Kev; Katherine Parkinson as Rebecca; Ophelia Lovibond as Rachel; Julian Rhind-Tutt as Mark; and Ben Willbond as Jeremy.

p01qhmnl

A Quiet Night In: In this silent farce, we enter the beautiful, modernist home of Gerald & Sabrina… a beautiful home with lots of beautiful things in it. Beautiful things of extreme value. The kind of things that might just become the target of an audacious criminal enterprise. When cat-burglars Ray and Eddie decide to break into the luxury house, they have to dodge all manner of obstacles – including the warring couple that live there – to get their hands on a priceless painting.

Starring Reece Shearsmith as Ray and Steve Pemberton as Eddie. Guest starring Dennis Lawson as Gerald, Oona Chaplin as Sabrina, Joyce Veheary as Kim, and Kayvan Novak as Paul.

After Danni, a young, sensitive nurse, joins the hospital staff, Abby pursues her friendship.

The Exorcist is a 2014 British BBC radio 4 drama based upon William Peter Blatty’s bestselling novel (previously adapted as a film by the author and William Friedkin in 1973) about the possession of a young girl, Regan, by a demon. The two-part radio version has been produced and directed by Gaynor Macfarlane and adapted by Robert Forrest. Alexandra Mathie plays the demon, Robert Glenister plays Karras and Ian McDiarmid is Merrin.

Macfarlane told The Guardian: ”In the book there is some doubt about whether Regan’s head turns around or not. Our version may not have these filmic tricks, but it has a gradual, creeping, perhaps more toxic horror. You feel tainted by hearing it. Robert Forrest, who adapted the story for us, was fascinated by the psychological story and he has put Father Karras, the priest figure, at the centre of the story. It takes him to the point of a possible breakdown. It does feel like a departure for Radio 4, but it is a classic of the horror genre. On the BBC iPlayer it will carry a warning, because we think it is frightening. In the film the demon is very foul-mouthed, but we have changed that so it is not just a ranting presence, but something really frightening, witty and knowing instead. It gets right inside Karras’s head.”

The Exorcist will be broadcast on Thursday 20 and Friday 21 February at 11pm.
