Goodnight Mommy (2022) is a psychological horror thriller that reimagines the 2014 Austrian film of the same name. The story follows twin brothers Elias and Lucas, who arrive at their mother’s remote countryside home only to find her face covered in bandages from a recent procedure. As her behavior grows increasingly erratic and cold, the boys begin to suspect that the woman beneath the bandages may not be their real mother. Their once-familiar bond is shattered by an atmosphere of fear, paranoia, and unsettling mind games, pushing them toward a horrifying revelation.

Directed by Matt Sobel and starring Naomi Watts, the film explores themes of trust, identity, and childhood trauma. The eerie cinematography and slow-burning suspense create an unsettling atmosphere, leading to a shocking climax that redefines the characters’ realities. While remaining faithful to the original’s psychological depth, Goodnight Mommy (2022) introduces new emotional layers, making it a gripping yet haunting cinematic experience.
