In Vietnamese culture, the concept of "giấu cảm xúc" (hiding emotions) is often a survival mechanism. We are taught to endure, not to express. The Babadook is the physical embodiment of that repressed trauma. Amelia never processed the death of her husband (who died in a car crash while driving her to the hospital to give birth to Samuel).

The Babadook is a critically acclaimed 2014 psychological horror film that delves into deep themes of grief, trauma, and the struggles of motherhood [29, 30]. The story centers on a widow, Amelia, whose life spirals when a menacing pop-up book brings a creature into her home, serving as a metaphor for repressed emotions [5.3]. It is known for its intense atmosphere rather than conventional scares, highlighting the necessity of confronting personal demons [27]. The film, which also gained unexpected popularity as an LGBTQ+ icon, can often be found with Vietnamese subtitles on various streaming platforms, offering a nuanced viewing experience [5.1, 5.3, 28].
This mysterious, sinister children’s book—handmade in the style of Edward Gorey—warns of a tall, cloaked figure with elongated claws and a haunting face. Once you read the book, you cannot get rid of the Babadook. It scratches at the door, whispers from the shadows, and eventually, it possesses you.
