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. Written by

Good Build Up To An Underwhelming Finale
I love movies that try
to be original and do something new, that's why Goodnight Mommy caught
my interest right off the bat. It sets a very nice tone and had me
excited to see a dark/stunning story unfold. Unfortunately this movie
was mostly build up with a very mediocre third act.
It's obvious that this movie was going for an artsy feel but it's like they completely bailed on that about 70% through and that really ruined the whole film imo. Plus through the whole film I kept thinking "Man I really hope they aren't going to try and do that, because if they do this will just turn into a clichéd mess" and they absolutely do what I didn't want them to.
Goodnight Mommy is a decent effort, and I'm sure it will be praised by many people who are desperate for a good horror movie, but I find it hard to give in to the hype because this really just wasn't that great of a movie.
