Recent ones I loved were The Boy Behind The Door & Goodnight Mommy. Something surprising like The Guest or You’re Next also my cuppa tea. Anyone any recommendations?? 🙏🏼 📽️
positive · AI labelView post →#31DaysOfHorror 17: "Goodnight Mommy" (2014.) I figured out That Thing really early since it reminds me of another movie I really like, but it made the rest of the movie scarier than I think it might be otherwise. Also, roaches. I'm terrified of roaches.
positive · AI labelView post →I’m torn, Severin Fiala and Veronica Franz are doing a live Q&A for their new film tonight, but I fucking HATED The Lodge and Goodnight Mommy (well, hated The Lodge, thought GM was tedious and obvious).
negative · AI labelView post →#LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday Goodnight Mommy was some fucked up shit. Satan's Slaves was pretty great.
positive · AI labelView post →Anyway. It’s Horror film time again. Watching Austrian film Goodnight Mommy. It’s quite good. Been a while since I last saw this one. #HorrorSky
positive · AI labelView post →12/100 Goodnight Mommy (2014) This movie slowly descends into madness as the uncertainty of who the real monster is preys on the viewers. All with a great rug pull at the end! #100HorrorMoviesIn92Days #horror #nowwatching

The Movie Game has an easy theme Nuggets win - Mother (2009) Nuggets lose - Goodnight Mommy (2014) #MileHighBasketball
neutral · AI labelView post →its a great twist but this isnt the first time one little line of dialogue has been so heavy handed as to give away the entire twist. a memorable example is the movie Goodnight Mommy, where once again they just spell it out far too clearly at step 1 then try to surprise you with it later.
neutral · AI labelView post →30) Goodnight Mommy (2014, dir. Severin Fiala and Veronika Franz) #Filmsky 📽️ I watched The Devil's Bath the other nitght, the new film by Fiala and Franz, and was blown away. Wanted to check out some more of their work, and I've had this on my list for a while anyway.
neutral · AI labelView post →Tale of Two Sisters came out in the mid 2000s, and is hands down my favorite horror film. Goodnight Mommy is its worthy spiritual successor. Whispering Corridors is also a strong contender for 10/10. Yes, I watch a lot of subtitled movies.
positive · AI labelView post →Watching the 2014 Austrian horror film Goodnight Mommy. Lots of great stuff, from the performances to the atmosphere, but also, I'm 99% sure I figured out the twist/setup of the movie within the first three minutes, and I've just been waiting patiently for the movie to get there.
neutral · AI labelView post →For Mother's day going with 2014's original Goodnight Mommy. I will most likely get to the remake this month as well. This Austrian horror movie was directed by Severin Fiala and Veronika Franz. 130 pairs of twins auditioned for the part of kids. #Filmsky #Horrorsky #Mother #Moviesky

neutral · AI labelView post →My random Shudder movie of the year is definitely The Devil's Bath by Veronika Franz and Severin Fiala (Goodnight Mommy). If you like historical or folk horror, you must see this.
neutral · AI labelView post →If you can handle serious gore, Audition (Japanese film) and Goodnight Mommy (the original Austrian version).
neutral · AI labelView post →THE DEVIL'S BATH! The co-writer/director duo behind GOODNIGHT MOMMY and THE LODGE return with a punishing folk horror movie about depression, suicide by proxy, and woman-hating. Beautiful to look at, but pretty one note. More at Roger Ebert dot com: t.co/5lGgAe7zor
neutral · AI labelView post →and I keep thinking about THE LODGE in concert with GOODNIGHT MOMMY. Once I saw that The Lodge was made by the same people, I had to recalibrate my expectations for the movie. Goodnight Mommy is brilliant and also *not* *fun*.

negative · AI labelView post →Watched a movie called "Goodnight Mommy" last night on Amazon Prime. It is a completely messed up movie but in a good (bad?) way.
neutral · AI labelView post →Tonight's horror movie roulette (was) Goodnight Mommy! Forgot to post when we started. I'd seen this movie before but damn, this was not good on a second watch. Others literally guessed the twist 5 minutes in and the torture scenes weren't even that shocking all things considered.
negative · AI labelView post →whaaat I love Goodnight Mommy! It's super bleak and emotionally brutal but such a great, effective film.

neutral · AI labelView post →THE OTHER spoiler It is because I saw that movie that when I went to see Goodnight Mommy, the “twist” seemed SO PAINFULLY obvious that I thought the director intended it to be understood and not a twist.

neutral · AI labelView post →It's Seeing Double month on Movie Mandates so our mandated movies are about or starring twins! Up first is my pick, GOODNIGHT MOMMY, a very chill Austrian film about twins who torture their mother until she admits she's an imposter. Now, I know what you're thinking: "Do the pet roaches survive?"
negative · AI labelView post →There's always the Ghost movie poster for something more sensual. Or, for something a bit unnerving, Goodnight Mommy could do the trick.
neutral · AI labelView post →It's a US remake of a European film made by the original director starring Naomi Watts. Which also happened with FUNNY GAMES. And GOODNIGHT MOMMY. So three times she's done that, which is weird, but OK sure.
neutral · AI labelView post →"Goodnight Mommy" has two versions. The 2014 version, which I haven't seen, is supposed to be more violent. The 2022 movie with Naomi Watts puts more weight on the emotional disturbance.

negative · AI labelView post →Naomi Watts' career is so weird because she's starred in the US remake of a foreign film directed by the original director not once (DOWN), not twice (FUNNY GAMES) but *three times* (GOODNIGHT MOMMY)

positive · AI labelView post →Didn’t work— nearly pissed myself both times. After 7 years together and HUNDREDS of horror movies, something clicked. The first one I fell in love with was Goodnight Mommy (2014). Now I can’t get enough (we watch a new horror film almost every night). Taking a stab at writing my own now 🌙
