ItвЂ™s a belting horror film to kick off 2016, and itвЂ™s one whose imaginative scenes of extreme violence are absolutely not for the squeamish. She comes back with her head wrapped in bandages after plastic surgery but. Cold, clinical and shot with steely geometric precision, Fiala and FranzвЂ™s film is also like the ultimate homage to Stanley KubrickвЂ™s The Shining, right down to the way the directors communicate an eerie sense of geography, placing the viewer inside this nightmare house along with the frenzied characters.ДЄnd while the central mystery keeps the viewer tightly locked into the drama, youвЂ™re never entirely convinced that this is a clear-cut case of evil mother versus angelic kids. In the heat of summer, at an isolated house in the countryside between woods and corn fields, ten-year-old twins await their mother from hospital. Stylistically and thematically, this Austrian chiller is very much of a piece with the work of countrymen Michael Haneke, Jessica Hausner and Ulrich Seidl (the latter has a story and production credit here). Then the boys start to believe that this woman, who doesnвЂ™t seem to have any knowledge of their relationship prior to this вЂњaccidentвЂќ, might not be who she says she is. She slaps them, insults them and punishes them, sometimes even filming it on her smart phone.

When the boys try to make their own entertainment, mother becomes unreasonably abusive towards them. The fun and freedom are over, and a life of sedate contemplation begins as motherвЂ™s wounds heal. Then their mother returns home (a far-flung modernist stack which looks barely lived-in) with bandages covering her face.

Twin brothers arrive at their mothers house and begin to suspect that something isnt right. But what if these two impulses donвЂ™t quite meet in the middle? Identical twins Lukas and Elias (played by Lukas and Elias Schwarz) have the run of the countryside, prancing, swimming, playing, exploring вЂ“ doing all the things that inquisitive pre-teen boys do. With Naomi Watts, Jeremy Bobb, Cameron Crovetti, Nicholas Crovetti.
