Jennifer Kent uses excellent visual and auditory effects to create a surprising horror sketch. Jennifer Kent obviously has a deep understanding of "maternal fear", and she takes it to the extreme in her works. The film's projection and psychological pressure are enough to tear the audience's sleep. It is difficult to say whether the audience will like or dislike this film, of course it has been successful from this perspective.
Jennifer Kent knows how to turn the ordinary into magic. She turns a very ordinary house into a subtle and vague threat. The excellent internal conflicts are rendered from the inside out, and the dysfunctional family relationship echoes the supernatural forces outside, and finally achieves an amazing black effect.
The smartest technique of the film is to subvert the audience's expectations and focus on the psychological tension of the mother and son. The film is not exactly about the horrible children's book "Mr. Babadou", but how to solve the problem resourcefully.
