9 yo twin boys aren't completely sure the lady under all the plastic surgery bandages is really their mother. While I heard that some people thought it was "kind of lame....really predictable....and gross" I thought it alright and kind of nicely done. The twist was sort of predictable, at least part of it was, but (not to give it away) the tunnel scene, the different shades of clothing, one twin always prodding the other and their always being filmed close together were enough to keep it sort of ambiguous throughout the film...until that ending😳. For me the scariest part (wasn't even the twist, but which, when explained, made sense. one literally whispers almost everything to the other, and has no voice of his own) were the scenes in the mother's bedroom. sharp objects in the hands of 9yo old boys, near faces and eyes?!...not to be sexist but what's the average fine motor skill level at that age? Their question as to whether or not it's the mother was scary, don't get me wrong (her in those bandages, slinking around that house, for some reason she reminded me of a large bug - like a praying mantis walking around after them) - but not as scary as those scenes, to me at least; those were the worst, worst as in scary, not bad. The mother or son's weird vision of the mother in the forest? still not as scary/weird as those scenes. Again, overall, I thought it worked, from feeling the twins trepidation at the mother's bandaged return, to the shift that to the mother's fear of what they'll do when they have the upper hand....and the ending...whoa. just whoa. I found it nowhere near as bad/weird as others who watched it, or watched it with me, did. #ssmovieof2016 #drama #horror #mystery #LukasSchwarz #EliasSchwarz #SusaneWuest written and directed by #VeronikaFranz (screenplay) #SeverinFiala (screenplay) movie of 2016 number 15) #GoodnightMommy #Ichaehichseh
