Amelia (Essie Davis), a single mother plagued by her husband's violent death, lives with her son Samuel (Noah Wiseman).

However, the story isn’t over as she soon discovers a sinister presence lurking in the house.
As her son begins to act out of control, and she begins seeing things, her life soon becomes a fight for survival. The Babadook is coming for her son, and she will have to face her darkest fears as she tries to protect him.
