This week the duo discusses a movie that Josh… well, doesn’t like; Jennifer Kent’s The Babadook (2014). From wiki: “The Babadook is a 2014 Australian psychological horror film written and directed by Jennifer Kent in her feature directorial debut, based on her 2005 short film Monster. Starring Essie Davis, Noah Wiseman, Daniel Henshall, Hayley McElhinney, Barbara West, and Ben Winspear, the film follows a widowed single mother who with her son must confront a mysterious humanoid monster in their home.”
Also discussed: correction corner for The White Reindeer, Race with the Devil, the rerelease of The Big Heat with Drusilla’s artwork, Murder My Sweet, Bertolt Brecht and communist screenwriters, “elevated horror” and more.
NEXT WEEK: The Silence of the Lambs (1991)
