Celebrated by both pure horror lovers and the arthouse crowd as one of the top dramatic genre films of 2015, Austria’s dark and riveting GOODNIGHT MOMMY is a psychological, tense trip featuring one of cinema’s favourite tropes – twins. “In the heat of the summer at a lonesome house in the countryside, nine-year-old twin brothers welcome home their bandaged mother following her plastic surgery. But nothing is as before, and the boys start to doubt and question who she really is. What emerges is an existential struggle for identity and fundamental trust.” (*In German with English subtitles.)
