I guess "The Babadook" was written by the heroine, right?

In 29 minutes and 20 seconds of the movie, it was mentioned that the heroine was writing a children’s book before. I think this book was actually written by her. The death of her husband and the child’s ignorance made her very distressed. She was under a lot of mental pressure. Insomnia. In addition to her own creation, Babadook, she herself has a certain tendency to schizophrenia. In fact, Babadook itself does not exist. The so-called children can see Babadook. Actually, I think it’s just because he knows that there is a Babadook on his mother, and he is mentally ill. Only the two of them can see it when they come and go. The so-called Babadook, in the end, because the love of the child and the mother defeated the demons, the mother hid Babadook in the basement forever. In the end, I actually thought it was a psychological thriller, but I was a little disappointed because I was a horror movie.

Amelia: [Samuel comes out from hiding and Amelia shrieks like a banshee. Amelia starts approaching Samuel, but he starts wetting himself.] You little pig. Six years old and you're still wetting yourself. You don't know how many times I wished it was you, not him, that died.
Samuel: I just wanted you to be happy.
Amelia: [mocking Samuel] I just want you to be happy. Sometimes I just want to smash your head against the brick wall until your fucking brains pop out.
Samuel: [softly] You're not my mother.
Amelia: What did you say?
Samuel: I said you're not my mother!
Amelia: I AM YOUR MOTHER!

Samuel: It wasn't me, Mum! The Babadook did it!
