Anchor Bay Home Entertainment has officially announced that it will release on Blu-ray Austria's official 2016 entry for Best Foreign Language Film, Goodnight Mommy. The release will be available for purchase on December 1.
Written and directed by Veronika Franz and Severin Fiala, and starring Susanne Wuest (Antares, Judas Goat, Thank You Mr. President) and brothers Elias Schwarz and Lukas Schwarz, Goodnight Mommy made audiences squirm at the Venice Film Festival, AFI Fest, TIFF, Sitges, Thessaloniki Film Festival and Fantastic Fest.
Synopsis: In a lonesome house in the countryside in the heat of mid-summer, nine year old twin brothers await their mother's return from the hospital. When she comes home with her face obscured by bandages, nothing is like before and the children start to doubt whether this woman is actually who she says she is. What ensues is a terrifying struggle with fatal consequences on par with The Shining and Dead Ringers in what The Daily Beast calls "the most terrifying film of the year."
