Sex & Nudity
-
- There is no nudity in in this movie.
- A woman and a man kissing showed for a while.
- Getting into her bed, a woman takes off her panties and uses a vibrator under covers. After a little while, she starts to moan heavily but she stops when her child jumps on her bed. Only the woman's head is visible throughout the entire scene.
- A commercial of a prostitute is shown briefly in TV.
Violence & Gore
-
- Rated 12 in France and forbidden under 14 in Italy, which otherwise are both very liberal in movie age rating questions. For being scary. Take that as an good advice.
- A young boy pushes a young girl out of a tree house. She is not seen hitting the ground, but she is seen on the ground crying with visible blood around her nose. Her mother later states that her nose was broken in two places.
- A woman is drinking soup when she bites down on a piece of glass. There is blood on the glass when she removes it from her mouth. When she ladles through her soup bowl, several other pieces of glass are found.
- A woman crashes her car into an oncoming vehicle while suffering a panic attack. Her young child is in the car with her. No one is injured, but she drives away from the scene.
- A woman dreams that she sees her young son dead. Blood is over his shirt and face.
- It is implied that a woman pulls a tooth from her mouth. She yanks at it for several seconds, everything else happens offscreen.
- A boy shoots a woman in the arm with a dart gun, hits her and trips her with a tripwire as she is walking down a flight of stairs, causing her to hit her head on an overhang and stumble down the remainder of the stairs.
- In an hallucination/dream sequence, a man's head is cut in half. It is not bloody, but his brain matter can be seen.
- A woman vomits little amounts of a black, blood-like substance.

Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- There is a scene in the bedroom where the mother sees The Babadook crawl across the ceiling and lunge at her. One of the scariest moments in the film.
- Overall the film is very frightening and disturbing and contains lots of intense scenes.
- The scenes with the monster terrorizing the mother and her son are extremely intense.
- The Babadook is very rarely shown physically, only in crude drawings and split-second frames. What little is shown is very scary.
- A boy suffers a seizure whilst yelling at an invisible monster. He thrashes and convulses onscreen for several seconds. He also suffers a similar attack in his home, yelling "Don't let it in!" loudly and repeatedly while seeming to suffer extreme shock.
- There are several intense scenes featuring a monster that is often shadowed and appears suddenly. The sound the monster makes is also incredibly scary. These scenes can be extremely frightening.
- A pop-up children's book is read to a young child, which includes thinly veiled violent threats. The child is severely disturbed.
- A young boy yells at his mother "Do you want to die?".
- A woman threatens a young boy with a large kitchen knife.
Spoilers
Violence & Gore
- A boy is shown for a split second covered in blood. Very brief but disturbing.
- A pop-up children's book appears a second time, where the once blank pages now contain pop-up illustrations of a woman snapping a dog's neck to death, strangling and suffocating a young boy by his neck, and slitting her own throat with a knife. The former pop-up illustration would later be foreshadowed in the film, whereas the latter pop-up illustration contains coloured blood (in this case, it is coloured red).
- A monster-like figure drops onto a woman twice. We see the woman scream, but the impact is not seen.
- A woman snaps her pet dog's neck and it is killed. The dog is seen struggling and whining for several moments, but most takes place offscreen. The dog's body is seen being thrown on the ground, but nothing bloody or graphic is seen. A small boy later enters the room and sees the dead dog.
- A young boy stabs a woman in the leg. Minimal blood is seen.
- A woman strangles a young boy by his neck, but the boy somehow survives.
- A young boy is seen dragged up the stairs and thrown against the wall twice by an unseen entity.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
- The overall tone of the movie has really frightening themes that can easily scare a grown adult. The movie's central theme centers around grief and the repressed urges of a mother to kill her own child.
- The movie is overall disturbing. There are many scenes of a mother trying to kill her child, and her child trying to attack her to stop the Babadook. The Babadook's appearance can also be quite scary.
