Goodnight Mommy (Austrian horror flick) - Blu-ray Forum

The Debts · 08-09-2015, 03:15 PM

Synopsis from the trailer:

Quote:

In the heat of the summer lays a lonesome house in the countryside where nine year old twin brothers await their mother’s return. When she comes home, bandaged after cosmetic surgery, nothing is like before and the children start to doubt whether this woman is actually who she says she is. What ensues is a terrifying observational struggle with fatal consequences on par with THE SHINING and DEAD RINGERS.

Between this and It Follows, let's hope RADiUS can keep it up of cranking out good horror movies. The press release also confirms it will come out on the 11th of September.

Well, okay then.

Moe Szyslak · 08-09-2015, 04:13 PM

Yea I definitely want to see this.

Michael1989 · 08-09-2015, 05:22 PM

Sounds good

morningtoke · 08-09-2015, 10:15 PM

It looks really good, but I think I'll pass. Too much body horror for my taste.

You can never have too much body horror. It's the best kind of horror.

I love the look of this!!!! Count me in. Will hopefully get to watch this in Oct for 31 Day of Halloween Movies.

Looks like it could be pretty good.

Ooh, I can't wait to see this! I love movies like this.

AaronJ · 08-17-2015, 07:35 PM

Sounds and looks good.

But come on: The Shining and Dead Ringers?! Don't set your standards too high, folks. It rarely pays off.

Still, sounds pretty damned interesting.

This. I can take glorious reviews rather than flat out comparing it to something that always puts me off as I can never quite rid that thought when watching it. Probably the reason I rarely pay attention to it as opposed to it rarely paying off.

Hucksta G · 08-17-2015, 08:43 PM

Guttered I missed this at a recent festival!

jacobsever · 08-17-2015, 10:57 PM

Very slow burn, with nearly zero dialogue. Was super good though, can't wait for it's release so I can view it again.

Definitely not body horror. It's more psychological than anything else.

Cool. I figured with the plastic surgery and what not a lot of the horror would be centered around that. I'll go ahead and check it out then.

I usually never watch horror movie trailers but had to make the exception here, this looks fantastic.

Impossible · 08-22-2015, 09:46 PM

Saw this the other night. I wouldn't call it a horror at all, it's a drama with horror elements.

The first 15 minutes are great and the last 15 minutes are great, the hour in the middle is snoozeville though and the 'twist' is pickable about 4 seconds in.

I still enjoyed it. The performance are great, it looks beautiful and the ending is so strong it makes up for the weak middle section.

I'd give it a solid 3.5/5.

Hope the upcoming German release has English Subs. Nothing listed on Amazon At the moment (German site)

Interesting

This is Austria’s Academy Award Entry for the foreign-language film Oscar. Probably won't happen but it would be so cool to see a horror film nominated.
