For horror fans, the wait is over! The Babadook, a contemporary fright fest that has gripped audiences since its inception, is set to make a thrilling comeback to cinemas this autumn. In celebration of its 10th anniversary, IFC Films and Iconic Events Releasing are reintroducing this Australian horror gem to the silver screen.

A Decade of Fear
Bringing chills since its premiere at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival, The Babadook created waves in the horror scene. Director Jennifer Kent’s creation, coupled with Essie Davis’ gripping portrayal of Amelia, a troubled single mother, captured the hearts of viewers globally. As Amelia grapples with loss and her son Samuel’s behavioral issues, portrayed by Noah Wiseman, a sinister entity emerges from a cryptic children’s book. What starts as a psychological battle escalates into a showdown against the malevolent figure known as the Babadook, transcending reality.
The Iconic Return
In honor of this milestone, the re-release includes an exclusive Q&A session with Jennifer Kent, providing enthusiasts with deeper insights into the film’s conception and enduring legacy. Garnering nearly $1 million in its initial run, the movie’s universal appeal is undeniable. Its return presents a prime opportunity to revisit, or experience for the first time, the spine-tingling narrative that reshaped modern horror.
Save the date for September 19th, 2024, as The Babadook emerges once more from the shadows onto the big screen. Be sure not to miss the chance to witness it in theaters, where its chilling allure is most potent. Brace yourself—once you lay eyes on it, there’s no turning back.
