Kristy: But it’s not brutal in that Hostel/Saw sort of way of “look what we can get away with.” Like, I don’t think the directors want us to relish in the torture. The trailer scared the crap out of me, so I’m thinking going in, “I am not going to be able to handle this movie.” And then the first two-thirds aren’t really all that bad, so I’m thinking, wow, this is OK, And then the last third is some scary shit. The entire final third of the film is incredibly brutal. And, if memory serves, it’s not just one scene either, where you get through it and it’s done. Rebecca: It was absolutely difficult to watch. When I saw it, everyone was squirming, and one critic later admitted they had considered leaving altogether during it. Kristy: Let’s begin with what for many is a breaking point in the film - the torture scene. The final shot is the boys and their mother reunited in a sunny field, looking right into camera. The twins ignore her, and Elias pushes Lukas’s hand to the curtains setting the room and their mother ablaze. She’ll pretend Lukas lives, and didn’t die in some unexplained accident. He says his real mother would know what Lukas was doing, which is holding a candle threateningly close to the curtains. She waits up bound once more, this time in the living room, surrounded by candles and flanked by her sons.Įlias demands she confess what she’s done to their mother. She falls face first on cement, the sound of her teeth cracking resounding before the film cuts to black. She takes this moment to escape, running out the door onto the patio only to be tripped on a trap.

The boys realize she’s wet herself, and free her temporarily so she might clean herself. When it comes time to feed her, Elias uses manicure scissors to cut through the hardened glue, and accidentally clips her lip resulting in spurts of blood. They superglue her mouth shut to keep her quiet. People who complain about spoilers in comments will be banhammered!Īfter much cruelty and mounting suspicion, the twins tie “Mother” (as she’s credited in the film) to her bed and being an unholy inquisition demanding to know where their real mother is. We promised it last week, and now here it is, Rebecca Pahle and Kristy Puchko’s down and dirty digging in of Goodnight Mommy’s twisted and terrifying finale.
