GOODNIGHT MOMMY

An American remake of the 2014 Austrian film, the story follows a mother (Naomi Watts) who shares custody with her ex-husband (Peter Hermann) of their twin boys Elias & Lucas (Cameron & Nicholas Crovetti). The boys mother at first startles them based on her appearance as she rocks a spandex face mask that covers her entire face throughout much of the film. Behaving oddly and doing things their mother normally wouldn't do, the boys soon suspect the person underneath the mask is not their mother. This is a wonderful psychological roller coaster with quite the twist ending. I did pick up on one nuance throughout the film that did turn out to be something but I won't spoil that here. This is the type of film that after you see how the story ends, you want to immediately rewatch it to see what you can pickup with your new found knowledge. I'd like to see this again soon as I thoroughly enjoyed. Free for Amazon Prime members, it's worth it! 6.5/10
