Review of Goodnight Mommy (2015) by Aj A — 14 Nov 2015
Great movie with good directing, acting, cinematography, suspense, and creepiness. Not that scary overall, but had a great psychological aspect to it and kept me interested throughout.
SPOILERS.
Some of the scenes with the brothers reminded me of growing up with Tarik so that was kind of cool. and I heard they improvised a lot of the scenes which added to us caring about the boys. I am guessing the burping scene and bath slapping scene were examples of that and I thought they were good additions to the movie. Those weren't really spoilers. I just wanted to make sure I put enough space between the first part of the review, and me saying: that twist owned me soooo bad. I did not expect it at all. It completely blindsided me. My focus was on the mother and what her deal was, if she was really their mother, or if something weird was going on. But the real ending. Wow wow wow. So good. Completely changed everything we saw before that. Certain things mean something completely differently now that we know this fact. My entire perspective of the movie changed. It felt so good, I haven't been twisted like this in a long time. And I immediately started thinking about various things in the movie that point to the twist but are not obvious until you know. so good. (1 viewing).
