Storyline
In the heat of the summer, a lonesome house in the countryside between
woods and corn fields, lives nine-year-old twin brothers who are waiting
for their mother. When she comes home, bandaged after cosmetic surgery,
nothing is like before. The children start to doubt that this woman is
actually their mother. It emerges an existential struggle for identity
and fundamental trust.

Movie Reviews
Scream, run. Lock your
doors. Swear to never have twin boys. Do what ever you need to do. Just
don't miss this picture. It's one of the best Austrian horror movies
ever, called: Goodnight Mommy. It has set fire to the internet, causing a
thousand nightmares along the way. It's being touted as the scariest
trailer ever made... but what do you think? Is it really? It's certainly
nicely creepy, getting under your skin and creating more questions than
it answers. For a bit of context, check out some other trailers that
have caused a huge amount of hype - before Goodnight Mommy knocked them
off the top spot of 'scariest trailer ever' in the opinion of the
internet... For me it was truly the most disturbing movies portraying
children I have seen since the Good Son. This movie left me wondering
what it was all about well after I saw it a second time. Who is dead?
How did he/she die? I found it so compelling, even scary that I had to
stop the movie once to regain my composure. How far would you go to
prove your point. Would you kill? By all means, watch this movie. It's
hard to see such beautiful human children be so evil. So if being scared
is your thing. If you like a whodunit, then by all means stick around.
But, you just might want to lock your door tonight.
