Goodnight Mommy. 2022.

Twin boys Luke and Elias head to spend time with their mother who has had surgery on her face and begins to think she isn't who she said she is.

Remake of the 2014 Austrian film with Naomi Watts as the mother who spends most of the time bandaged up and barefooted but does a nice sultry half naked dance infron of the mirror. Cameron and Nicholas Crovetti play Luke and Elias, one a loving son while the other is very suspicious of the mother. I haven't seen the original so I didn't know where this was going, this had a good premise of being a good psychological film of is she or isn't she who the mother claims to be and one small child looking for answers and then it gives us a twist that has been done before a few times. The acting is decent from the main stars including the young actors who do a great performance, some good tense built up moments and then the almost 'holy sh!t' ending. May not be for everyone, for me this was entertaining.
