Arthouse Legends Podcast is proud to present Arthouse of Horror
One of the biggest surprises in filmmaking in the last year came from Australian actress-turned-filmmaker Jennifer Kent. Kent unleashed her feature film debut, the oddly-titled psychological thriller The Babadook, at Sundance in 2014 and it was immediately hailed as a modern horror classic. The film centered on a widowed mother and her disturbed son who found themselves confronted by an evil force from the pages of pop-up book. A year later, does this film deserve the attention it received or should it be locked away in a dark corner of the basement? MovieDude Eric, Kent and Jonolobster crack it open to see for themselves.
