Review of Goodnight Mommy (2015) by Mitch H — 08 Oct 2015

Goodnight Mommy is a unique horror film that doesn't quite go for scary. Instead, it is more psychological, and you're bound to feel disturbed and unsettled by its end. The pacing is fairly slow, but the air is always filled with dread even in its quietest moments.

It's shot much like other foreign films out of Europe where the camera feels like it's quietly observing the characters, and the style works really well here. As a twin myself I can say that the relationship between the twins in the movie felt genuine and I enjoyed that a lot.

There have been a good bunch of horror movies this year, but it's Goodnight Mommy that wins the prize for most unsettling.
