Goodnight Mommy: trailer shows a terrifying Naomi Watts | Digital Trends Spanish


Identity can be a tricky thing. We rely on our ability to recognize faces, voices, and bodies to distinguish our friends and family from strangers. But what if you could no longer be sure of someone’s identity through visual cues alone? That was the premise of Veronika Franz and Severin Fiala’s 2014 Austrian thriller. goodnight mommy. Next month, Prime Video will premiere the American remake of goodnight mommy with Naomi Watts in the title role. And if the first trailer is any indication, Watts is absolutely terrifying in this film.

Goodnight Mommy – Official Trailer | Prime Video

The story follows two brothers, Elias and Lucas, who are sent to stay with their mother in her remote farmhouse. However, her mother greets them with surgical bandages on her face and claims that she only had cosmetic work done. By itself, that’s not too suspicious. But it’s the little things that make kids nervous, like the way their mom is suddenly a smoker or her new draconian house rules. She even she seems indifferent to them in a way that she never was before. All of this forces Elías and Lucas to conclude that they are alone with an impostor.

Although the trailer doesn’t offer a definitive look at the children’s mother’s face without the bandages, it does seem to back up her suspicions. Once the “mother” realizes that her children doubt her identity, she brutally punishes them until they recognize her as her mother. That is definitely not an example of healthy mother-son behavior. But how far will the boys have to go to escape her?

In addition to Watts, the film features Cameron Crovetti as Elias and his real-life brother, Nicholas Crovetti, as Lucas. Peter Hermann also plays the children’s father, with Crystal Lucas-Perry as Sandy.

Matt Sobel directed the American remake of goodnight mommy from a script by Kyle Warren. goodnight mommy will premiere on Prime Video on September 16.
