‘Goodnight Mommy’ Trailer: Naomi Watts Stars In Disturbing Horror Remake

Goodnight Mommy

In 2014, Veronika Franz and Severin Fiala shocked audiences with their twisted twin horror film Goodnight Mommy. It’s a brutal experience where two boys torture a woman claiming to be their mother, but they aren’t convinced. It’s a film that marked the beginning of the wave of “elevated” horror, standing beside films like The Babadook. Almost a decade after its release, Goodnight Mommy is getting an English-language remake courtesy of Amazon Studios, director Matt Sobel, and writer Kyle Warren.

Read the full synopsis below:

When twin brothers arrive at their mother’s country home to discover her face covered in bandages—the result, she explains, of recent cosmetic surgery—they immediately sense that something doesn’t add up. She sets strange new house rules, smokes in her bathroom, and secretly rips up a drawing they gave her—things their loving mother would never do. As her behavior grows increasingly bizarre and erratic, a horrifying thought takes root in the boys’ minds: The sinking suspicion that the woman beneath the gauze, who’s making their food and sleeping in the next room, isn’t their mother at all.  

Now, check out the creepy new trailer:

Naomi Watts stars in the film as the titular mommy. Cameron Crovetti and Nicholas Crovetti take the roles of our creepy twins.

Veronika Franz, Severin Fiala, Naomi Watts, Kyle Warren, Matt Sobel, Derrick Tseng, Sébastien Beffa, and François Yon all executive produced the film.

Goodnight Mommy comes to Prime Video on September 16, 2022.
