One of the most chilling and original horror films of recent years, “The Babadook” didn’t even make it to theaters in most cities. If you’re up for some really imaginative thrills, give it a look on video. Just keep a few lights on when you do. It tells the story of a widowed Australian mother, Amelia (Essie Davis), whose son, Samuel (a terrifically emotive Noah Wiseman), has started to exhibit strange, even violent behavior. He worries about a fictional character named Mister Babadook, a shadowman who haunts those who learn about his existence.
