GOODNIGHT MOMMY Second Look: two short clip, new images, and poster!

"Two clips released, you say?! I'll be right out."

Whoa, whoa, whoa kids. Have we got exciting news! Not long after after posting our initial First Look post for the dark and foreboding Goodnight Mommy did Indiewire exclusively release the first clip. Thank you, o' mighty Indiewire gods for providing us with this bounty. This chilling and fearful bounty. (We just wish it would embed, but alas you will all have to click on the link.) Gotta say, we don't really blame those kids for being so wary of their mum.

Twitch also released a different clip. It's starting to feel like Christmas over here on the Vanguard blog. But unfortunately that won't embed either so head on over to the website and prepare yourselves to never want to to fall asleep near children who have access to cockroaches ever again!

And that's not all, because soon after we uncovered a film poster and some seriously disturbing new stills. Like the one above. Nightmare fuel, that is. Check it all out below and get even more excited (and disturbed) for this movie.

Okay, this one isn't so bad. Look how cute they are!

Um, maybe go lie down, Mommy. You look...tired?

NOPE, NOPE, NOPE.

Okay, now the masks aren't so cute anymore.

GOODNIGHT MOMMY first look!

Goodnight Mommy (Ich Seh Ich Seh) brings to life what we can agree is a heart-stopping childhood fear: what if our mother stopped loving us? Even scarier, what if she was no longer herself? (Cue ominous music.) When twins Lukas and Elias' mum returns from getting plastic surgery, her puffy, bandaged face and need for absolute silence to recuperate creates a strained divide between them. They soon begin to resent her and the fact that they are more or less trapped in their isolated country house with nothing to do. Nothing to do but let their imaginations go dark, angry, and wild.

This absolutely haunting, atmospheric psychological thriller from directors Veronika Franz and Severin Fiala is a must-see at this year's Festival. We only have one released image so far (see above, then be very afraid because do you see those brooding glares?) but it's all we need to put Goodnight Mommy at the top of our list.
