Goodnight Mommy (2014) - The Thriller Movie review

After the terrible incident, Lucas's mother tried to recover from the major surgery. She surged her face due to the accident. Her twin children beleived that their mother was not a real mother and they ready to do anything to bring her mother back. After some terrific incidents, the audience cane to know creepy dark twists at the end.

First of all, this is not a normal horror story which contains a dark house, a devil spirit with the spirit of vengence and the excorcism scenes etc. It is told by dream visions and reality.




Sometimes it is confused. In some places, it is difficult to find which is dream vision. This is the major drawback. The line between the dream and reality is blurred throughout the film.

Normally, slow burn trick adds some thriller feeling in a horror film. In this case no doubt it arises curiosities but at some point it will make the audiences impatient. This is not a slow burn but slow slow slow slow burn actually. Nothing can do about this because it is the nature of the plot.



The director do not want to add commercila elements like creating tension, horrible blood scenes etc. He do not deviate from the nature of the plot. The final twists are good but it is unable to understand for normal movie goers.

Overall, Goodnight Mommy is an unique, dark creepy thriller for intellctual movie lovers but not for the average audiences. Stay home and stay safe. The situation will change soon.

IMDB 6.7/10
Sharkz Scale 5/10
