Goodnight Mommy is an Austrian horror film that focuses on two children nursing after their heavily bandaged mother following a her reconstructive surgery.

As their mother begins to exhibit strange and suspicious habits, the children begin to suspect that their mother isn't actually their mother. As viewers who saw Us can attest to, we learn by the end of that film that the mother in Us - Adelaide - is not who she appears to be either. There have also been theories suggesting that the son may not be who he says he is either, but that is a different discussion for a different day.

Anyway, Goodnight Mommy is a horror flick that kind of went under the radar upon its original release, but anyone who has seen it knows that this is a film that must be seen to be believed. Goodnight Mommy is one of the most effective and surprising horror movies to release in the past decade.
