Second Sight Films has just released The Babadook 4K UHD / blu-ray in the UK. It has been 4K mastered by the original post production facility and presented in HDR10.
As the film only came out in 2014, I reviewed the original blu-ray release, I’m not sure how much better the picture quality can look.

Second Sight Films
The cult 2014 horror film, The Babadook (2014) is an Australian psychological horror film written and directed by Jennifer Kent. It’s a decent enough horror film that just lacks a certain something that would have made it really good one.
