Goodnight Mommy

A mother should look out for her sons.

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.)

“It’s the most unsettling identical-twin psycho-thriller I’ve seen since The Other-and that was back in ’72!” – The Georgia Straight

“Dark, violent, and drenched in dread, GOODNIGHT MOMMY is perfect for extreme horror enthusiasts — or filmgoers who prefer to watch between splayed fingers.” – Rotten Tomatoes

“GOODNIGHT MOMMY offers conclusive proof that horror built on mind-bending twists and sheer fucked-upedness can be just as effective as horror built on sustained terror.” – The Michigan Daily
