A psychological horror film from the United States, Goodnight Mommy was released in 2022 and directed by Matt Sobel. The movie was written by Kyle Warren and is a remake of the 2014 Austrian film with the same title.

The story centers on twin brothers who believe their mother has been replaced by an impostor.
The project was announced in early 2021, with Sobel named as director, Warren as screenwriter, and Watts as lead actress. Additional cast members were revealed later, with principal photography taking place from June through August of that year. The film premiered on Prime Video through Amazon Studios on September 16, 2022.
