In the heat of the summer. A lonesome house in the countryside between woods and corn fields. Nine-year-old twin brothers 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.
“So intense and harrowing that it probably should have a warning label.” -Walter V. Addiego, San Fransisco Chronicle
“This insidious tale of a mother-son bond gone haywire is squirm-inducing stuff. It has cult potential stamped all over it.” -David Rooney, Hollywood Reporter
“A masterful example of genre filmmaking’s ability to transcend its limitations, leaving a viewer not just frightened, but also changed.” -Michael O’Sullivan, Washington Post
“Beginning with a gentle lullaby and ending with a tightly packed wallop, Goodnight Mommy is one viscerally chilling, seriously unsettling horror film.” -Michael Rechtshaffen, Los Angeles Times
