If you’ve been itching to check out the new English-language reimagination of the 2014 Austrian thriller, Goodnight Mommy, Alamo Drafthouse and Prime video have got you covered. Alamo and Prime are joining forces to host special advance screenings at select locations on September 14. Exclusively for members of Alamo Drafthouse Victory, (it’s a free rewards program, go sign up if you’re not already!) tickets are now on sale for screenings in New York City, Los Angeles, Dallas, Austin, San Francisco, and Denver. Some friendly advice, if you’re able to make it to the Lower Manhattan location… go! A “surprise guest” from Goodnight Mommy will be in attendance for a special introduction, specifically at the Alamo Drafthouse Lower Manhattan location.
If you’re not familiar with this creepy title, check out the official 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.
Goodnight Mommy is directed by Matt Sobel (Take Me to the River) from a screenplay by Kyle Warren (Lethal Weapon, The Mysteries of Laura), based on the 2014 film Goodnight Mommy (written and directed by Veronika Franz and Severin Fiala, produced by Ulrich Seidl). The film stars Naomi Watts (21 Grams, The Impossible), Cameron Crovetti (Big Little Lies, The Boys), Nicholas Crovetti (Big Little Lies, Salem’s Lot), Peter Hermann (Law & Order: SVU, Younger), Crystal Lucas-Perry (Law & Order: SVU, The Last O.G.), and Jeremy Bobb (The Knick, The Outsider).
