'Goodnight Mommy' is a 2022 American psychological thriller film directed by Matt Sobel and written by Kyle Warren, serving as a remake of the 2014 Austrian film of the same name. The film stars Naomi Watts, with Cameron and Nicholas Crovetti. The film follows twin brothers who suspect their mother was switched with an impostor, following her recent surgery where she dons bandages over her face.
A remake for the 2014 film was announced in early-2021, with Sobel directing it from a screenplay written by Warren, while Watts was cast in the lead role. The rest of the cast were announced later and principal photography began from June to August that same year.
'Goodnight Mommy' was released on Prime Video by Amazon Studios on September 16, 2022. The film received mixed reviews from critics, with praise for Watts' performance, but criticism for its writing and deemed it "inferior" and "unnecessary" to the original film.
