A few weeks ago, we heard that an English-language remake of the 2014 Austrian psychological horror film Goodnight Mommy will be released through Prime Video on September 16th – and now a trailer has been released online to offer a preview of what this remake has in store for us next month. You can check it out in the embed above.
Naomi Watts (King Kong 2005) stars in this new version of Goodnight Mommy and is joined in the cast by Cameron and Nicholas Crovetti (Big Little Lies), Jeremy Bobb (The Outsider), Crystal Lucas-Perry (Mimesis Nosferatu), and Peter Hermann (Younger). Directed by Matt Sobel (Take Me to the River) from a screenplay he wrote with Kyle Warren, the film has the following synopsis:
When twin brothers (Cameron and Nicholas Crovetti) arrive at their mother’s (Naomi Watts) country home to discover her face covered in bandages—the result, she explains, of recent cosmetic surgery—they immediately sense that something doesn’t add up. She sets strange new house rules, smokes in her bathroom, and secretly rips up a drawing they gave her—things their loving mother would never do. As her behavior grows increasingly bizarre and erratic, a horrifying thought takes root in the boys’ minds: The sinking suspicion that the woman beneath the gauze, who’s making their food and sleeping in the next room, isn’t their mother at all.
Amazon Studios produced the new Goodnight Mommy with Animal Kingdom and Playtime. David Kaplan, Joshua Astrachan, Valery Guibal, and Nicolas Brigaud-Robert are the individual producers. Watts served as an executive producer alongside Veronika Franz and Severin Fiala, the writers/directors of the original Goodnight Mommy.
