Two twin brothers enjoy an idyllic country summer until their mother (Naomi Watts) comes home from cosmetic surgery and nothing seems right. Don’t expect scares and shocks. Instead, this film is built on a creepy vibe that creates more concern than suspense. It’s a psychological thriller with a twist that was obvious way before its reveal. The 2 boys (real twins Cameron & Nicholas Crovetti) have a wonderful interaction that’s continually compelling, but the payoff, although slightly disturbing, lacks punch.… Expand

It could've been worse, but this is entirely unnecessary. A psychological horror film devoid of tension and perversity. Bland and boring. Hollywood never learns.

I read this remake wasn't well received by critics and was deemed inferior and unnecessary, and I ask:

Isn't that the case for 95% of all the US remakes? And have they learned not to keep doing them? And the answer to both questions remainsI read this remake wasn't well received by critics and was deemed inferior and unnecessary, and I ask:

Isn't that the case for 95% of all the US remakes?
And have they learned not to keep doing them?

And the answer to both questions remains the same: You'd better watch the original.… Expand

Remake considered useless and depowered compared to the homonymous 2014 Austrian movie, although the pair of directors of the original is among the executive producers of this US version together with Naomi Watts who plays the protagonist. I have no prejudices against remakes while I have them against a Shyamalan model style, which tends to focus on the final twist even when the story told is not engaging enough to arouse interest in its conclusion, whatever it is. "Goodnight Mommy" is just above mediocrity and Watts is almost 54, the right age for roles by now as a grandmother.… Expand

The movie accomplishes its purpose, to keep you entertained. It gives you little hints to notice what is going on around you for you to make the whole puzzle. It was not like those movies in which you get bored immediately and don't catch you right away, after some 15-20min I was already all in.… Expand
