The name made me think of the Baba Yaga, the witch of Russian folklore, also a destroyer of children. I saw this a few nights ago and loved it. The sound design, the hyper-stylized color palette and lighting, the juxtaposition of whimsical storybook imagery with violent depression, all really unnerved me. Some of my favorite scenes are when mother falls asleep in front of the television and the Babadook starts showing up in the clips. It achieves a really genuine dreamlike atmosphere. Probably my favorite haunted house movie of the last few years.
