Last Updated on August 2, 2021

As we inch closer to the Blu-ray/DVD release of Jennifer Kent's THE BABADOOK, we thought we’d pass along this behind the scenes featurette that pulls back the curtain on one very particular stabbing scene. Watch it below and don’t forget to pick up your copy of the film on pre-order right HERE.

…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 was directed by Jennifer Kent and stars Essie Davis, Noah Wiseman, Daniel Henshall, Hayley McElhinney, Barbara West and Ben Winspear.
