#TheBabadook director Jennifer Kent discusses the film's ending as it turns 10 this year:

"It’s hard being a human, and I don’t think it gets easier. I thought, 'Oh, when I get older, it will be easier.' No. We carry these experiences with us. They become a part of us. I’ve had really sad things happen, most of us have. It hits on something tender in us and hopefully makes us more empathetic. I think that’s the whole point of life, to grow in empathy. The basement [where we shot the ending] was haunted. The house was a set, but the basement was real, and it’s haunted. I’ve got photos of ghosts in there. I was demonstrating that backward thing that [Essie Davis] does, and [Essie] was holding the camera. We felt this bit of light go by, and we both said, 'Whoa,' at the same time. Then we looked at the photo, and there was a photo of me bending backward with this big wave of light flying past."
