Goodnight Mommy

One of the Best movies I have watched in a while. If you are worried about whether you should watch it. Def Go For it

I don't get it. If he's having hallucinations why is Elias not taking any medication? He's schizophrenic.

Important lessons about trust in adults and the true nature of children are to be learned from this educational film, which is full it twists and surprises! Two evil twin boys return to live with their famous mother in the beautiful Connecticut countryside. For some reason their dad doesn't want to see his ex wife so he leaves the kids in the driveway and departs. That's pretty weird but he has his reasons. The boys locate the mother deep inside her palatial countryside manor wearing face bandages, which are frightening of course to a child and causes doubts about her real identity. But these children are different, they have wild imaginations, hallucinate and have murderous tendencies. The mother is the one who should be afraid of these little monsters! This movie is a warning to think twice about starting a family!

Why.. WHY must Hollywood absolutely obliterate foreign films? Do we have to take over everything? There was nothing wrong with the original from 2014. Creepy right off the bat, the Mother in the original barely had any lines and that alone put you on edge wondering why she was so mysterious. In this remake- Mother is watching movies, actively on the phone, feeling herself/dancing in front of mirrors- just STOP. Naomi Watts must have been hard up for some cash because what the hell. 0 creepiness. Just some bi**h mother being conceited. Was the original a total work of art? No, but compared to this dumpster fire it is. It's also painfully obvious what the twist is gonna be from the beginning. At least, YES I WILL KEEP COMPARING IT, in the original you had no idea what was gonna happen or where the film was going. It just sucks- it wasn't even NEEDED. Damnit Hollywood, just leave well enough alone! I only gave it 2 stars in hopes people would see this and see it was a remake, thus gaining more attention for the original.

It's not a shot-by-shot remake. Some visuals from the original (Austrian Version) remain, but they don't pack the same punch. While the twist in the remake did differ slightly from the original, it wasn't enough for Goodnight Mommy (2022) to stand more solidly on its own. The terror that's revealed in the Austrian version of the film is extremely exaggerated, but it gives the audience an idea of how obsessive familial ties can be and how dangerous ideas can take hold to shocking conclusions. Goodnight Mommy (2022)'s finale does not deliver that same shock. Yes, the horror may be reduced. You can even nitpick at the twist that may be far from the original. Yet, Goodnight Mommy's surprisingly suspenseful journey and understated twist on the genre outweigh its faults. It's not especially memorable, but it's not bad either.
