Description	The Babadook is a 2014 psychological drama film written and directed by Jennifer Kent in her directorial debut, and produced by Kristina Ceyton and Kristian Moliere. The film stars Essie Davis, Noah Wiseman, Daniel Henshall, Hayley McElhinney, Barbara West, and Ben Winspear. It is based on the 2005 short film Monster, also written and directed by Kent.The Babadook was initially not a strong commercial success in Australia and was given a limited release in art house theatres. However, largely after its strong reception at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival, the film generated more attention in the United States and Europe which ultimately helped its reputation in Australia.It was a moderate success, only marginally gaining $7.5 million over a $5 million budget, but gained strong critical acclaim from critics, generally praised towards performances, atmosphere, Kent's direction and screenplay, and the avoidance of gore.
