I did not see this twist coming at all. I think it shocked me more than any other twist ending before. I picked this one up at a goodwill knowing nothing about it. Was from that era in 2000s with all the PG-13 horror. Hidden gem
Before I watched it, someone mentioned to me that there's a great twist ending. I didn't figure it out until about 10 seconds before the reveal, but I did figure it out in time. LOL
"Their poor father" That sick jerk cheated on his dying wife with her caretaker! This was not a 'she helped her go peacefully and we got close after because we both knew how hard it was'. They looked a dying woman in the eye and felt no guilt later. And then he had the audacity to want his happy little family back? Nah bro, he deserved all that shit
Raven Lavette that 'happy family' concept is nothing but a joke. Also, he could've very well waited until AFTER his wife died to get with the caretaker.
I did not understand why a an extremely sick woman was moved so far from the main house, and that tiny bell made no sense. No intercom like used in nurseries? Senseless.
I remember I was kind of young when this came out and I watched it all by myself at night time and I thought it was pretty scary in the concept behind the sister was so sad I like how they play with your mental state.
I remember that one and I could tell from the start that the boy was dead just by the way the Mother treated the boy when he wanted the brother included. She wasn't having it. lol
At the end she said “I did what you told me I finished what I started” and then you see the girl across from her is the person she accused her step mother to be what was that all about?
I've seen this movie twice but I forgot that I've seen it; remembered half way through, and I tried to remember the ending and it still got me again. I did almost get it when I wondered why the one girl kept wearing the same clothes; especially when she went out drinking.
I enjoyed it the 1st time I watched it overall. I suspected that her sister wasn’t really there early on. What REALLY got me was when she was sent back to the asylum & the Mildred Kemp reveal when the door was closed... And Stevie Wonder said, “I didn’t see THAT coming! I watched it a 2nd time, but I didn’t really enjoy it as much. Yeah, it did have that “Lifetime” feel to it.
I was so proud when I figured out the twist ending. It was about 10 seconds before the dad gave that weird face & said, "Alex? Anna, what are you saying???" I never would've figured it out, had I not known that there was a twist ending to begin with. Still, it was a proud moment. I thought the very ending kinda ruined it, because it made it look like Anna knew what she was doing. "I finished what I started." She had the picture with Rachel's head cut out. Then she gave a smirk at the end. It kinda ruins the original thought that she DIDN'T know what she was doing when she killed Rachel. Oh well. This is an amazing movie, regardless.
The alternative ending is better, but I think it's because Anna realised that she is a monster after all, especially all her memories came back. Everything was a lie. It's a very sad story
I just watched this and WOW. I had no idea where it was going, in the best way possible. ** SPOILERS ** When the dad looked at Anna with geniune concern, I knew something epic was going to come. Then the bombshell. Holy shit. Amazing movie!
I have ADHD and one of my more frustrating symptoms for me and those around me is that my pattern recognition is so top notch that i basically spoil things for myself. I genuinely think that this is the only twist ending movie i have seen where it genuinely caught me offguard. I didnt figure it out in my first watch through like i do most other media i consume.
I first saw this movie after I had a massive head injury that had caused me to lose my short term memory. I bought this movie and every few months I rewatch it having forgotten or mixed up parts of it. So every time is like I get to experience it fresh for the first time. Well I’m the last few years my brain has learned to compensate by giving me an eidetic memory so unless I wait a longer amount of time I will pick up on it when re watching it. It’s still the silver lining that I can enjoy many movies over and over like it’s the first time (if I watch them repeatedly in a short amount of time I can get them to my long term memory but honestly I like the forgetting when it’s good books or movies/tv because that excitement is still there.)
How did she have the children in her memory at the start of the film? Or was that a different version she created once she got committed to start blaming other characters for her justification for killing them?
I just watched this movie today for the 1st time twice lol && it’s definitely interesting how it ends up being put into 2 different perspectives after watching it the first time, great film 👍🏾
I literally had to walk away from my phone yelling “stfu, stfu” as soon as I heard Fight Club and The Usual Suspects in fear you were gonna say something to unintentionally spoil them. That’s not good bud
they never explain why rachel had tranquilizers, why and how did she tranquilize anna. isn’t that still a crime? when anna drove to the station, the officer called rachel and he allowed her to be tranquilized
This is a good movie to show a younger audience that is just starting out. The Tale of Two Sisters is a Masterpiece. This movie is still pretty good and that twist ending is something to talk about. Good review Lee. Thanks as always and Happy Memorial Day my friend..
I remember Tale of Two Sisters when Korean horror start to became a thing here in Brazil and what a amazing movie. Final song and scene always bring me to tears :(
I remember seeing this movie in theaters when it came out, it's always been a guilty pleasure of mine its been awhile since I've seen it. Great review Lee 👏 keep up the great work. Stay well brother.
My best friend and I had watched this years ago and had tried so desperately to find out how to stream it without purchasing it. But yesterday, we found it had a thrift store for like $3! It was amazing to watch it again, it's honestly one of my favorite movies! And that plot twist at the end, I remember being so so surprised! Of course, my second viewing had me focus on the little details more. Like how if you pay attention, nobody really ever talks to or acknowledges Alex! Really love this movie!
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews Me too! I used to have a VHS with a bunch of movies, but overtime, many of them were ruined by my little siblings, and others my dad got rid of.
When watched in Spanish, the plot twist wasn’t nearly as flawless. Whenever another character spoke to both sisters, he or she referred to them in plural (ustedes), rather than simply “you”, as in English, wich works perfectly to keep up with the delusion. That created several contradictions.
Don't kick yourself too much everybody was fooled. They did a sixth sense thing. You see that girl talking to her father and figure she's really there until the montage near the end that reminds me of joker showing them together then the girl by herself
The Sixth Sense I saw that and my mom after the movie said how about that ending? And I didnt understand that bruce Willis was dead the whole time... great plot twist when you didnt know that it was a plot twist
The thing here is that Alex died in the fire right but she doesn’t remember and she also killed that guy by the lake so actually Anna is not all there in this movie . I personally love this movie .
I wrote a long paragraph but have to add this one (BTW I love this movie - even bought but has so many holes) - now a compliment. I like when a director plays fair - this one did. One scene sort of told me there was going to be a death - when the young guy who likes Anna says "I know what happened that night" = well, he spoke his death warrant didn't he? The bruises on Anna's arms - great scene but had a feeling he was grasping for his life.
A bit of a funny side note it’s funny you chose a clip from Friday The 13th part 2 for your spoilers ahead warning Because I bought the Friday The 13th box set a few years ago & this was the preview movie on two of the discs & got me interested enough to rent this movie As for the actual movie nice review You pretty much nailed my thoughts on the head & honestly the twist blew me away because I never saw it coming
Absolutely loved The Uninvited when I saw it the first time and loved it even more the second time because it really turns the story on its head and even changes the perspective from one Anna to Rachel to embrace the real horror of the stepmother fearing for her life with a disturbed teenager in her home. Personally didn't like Goodnight Mommy all that much. Maybe because I saw the twist coming really early on or because I just disliked the titular mother and her stupidity a tad bit too much.
Are you sure this is based off of or is a rendition of Goodnight Mommy? There is actually I think a 1944 horror movie by the same name The Uninvited that when I watched I saw several parallels to this version. Although it could be one of several remakes as you mentioned
I F**king love The Uninvited, absolutely Love it feels like something Stephen King would write and get made into a film, I haven't seen the Original Korean film or the French version. Great Review 😀
I’ll be honest I haven’t seen this in years but I wasn’t a big fan on my first viewing. I’m actually gonna check it out again after this. Great review Lee!
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews was actually confused by the name of the video at first, because I thought it was the international title too😂 think Emily is pretty good with these kind of characters... Sadly she picked so bad movies in the last years
Not a fan of this one pretty pedestrian and mediocre. I ordered "A tale of two sisters" 3 years ago and have yet to watch it. Need to do that. There was a Korean film that came out in 2016 called "the handmaiden" I recommend it.
You're wrong. Rachel wasn't the nanny or the stepmother. Rachel was the in home care nurse. Stephen wasn't married to her yet, so she's not Anna's stepmother.
i remember being super excited to see this because of emily browning after seeing the series of unfortunate events! i really liked the movie when it first came out. the end took me by surprise! i rewatched it a few years ago and i noticed the same stuff you were noticing. the first time watching it i just thought rachel was super cold to alex and that’s why they never communicated, not because she wasn’t there! 😂
I really luv Gory B....she started a new channel that's really good, but lately she hasn't put anything new out. I keep waitin though! Shout 2 Gory B and Horror Addicts!
I heard about this movie but never really looked into it now because of this video I think I will check it out. Great job dude. Also have you checked out the video game predator hunting grounds?
OK, so this isn't a remake of the old movie Uninvited with George Kennedy about a killer cat I saw the Rifftrax to on Tubi. Not sure when that came out, but looks like either 1970s or 1980s.
You know, if history has taught us anything, the pretty ones are the ones you got to look out for... Ted Bundy, Susan Smith, Karla Homolka, Norman Bates, Samara Weaving from the Babysitter... Lee...? You aren't a knife wielding, Myers mask wearing mad man are you? Haha good review, man! Can't wait for the You're Next review!
I love this movie, even the soundtrack but sorry - there are holes in it big enough for a T Rex to walk thru. Firstly, when Anna is being discharged the doctor mentions coping with the mother's death but does not mention the sister's death which occurred the same time. That would have ruined the plot twist. Yes, great plot twist but the twist only happens because the doctor wrongly leaves a significant fact out!!! Another senseless part - the mother is removed from the main house with only a tiny, animal bell to summon help. Even with bionic hearing there is no way this could be heard, keep in mind this is a very sick woman who seems unable to do self care . Also the house and grounds are huge, almost estate proportions. This place should have had a housekeeper and maybe a groundskeeper. However, when Anna first comes home, she runs upstairs and calls "Alex", so you can't have a housekeeper to hear that (Dad is parking the car, Nurse in kitchen) - the film had to keep cast sparse. Now the big dinner party for the book preview - I don't have wealthy friends but a formal party like that would have had called for extra hired servers. So I was surprised by the twist and definitely the scenes where Alex is in them are believable but those glaring holes! PS I think a Tale of Two Sisters was lost in translation.
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews and that bothers me in a film I liked. It could have been put together so much better. In Sixth Sense - the director played fair and there were 3 good clues - each progressively better. In the first encounter of the psychologist and the mother they really do not look like they see each other and are interacting. Second best - the restaurant scene where he rushes in to his wife - the server puts the check down and just keeps going. I have worked as a server - I would have acknowledged a person who suddenly sits down and ask if the needed something (and that was an upscale restaurant) - last and best - the psych and the boy take a bus to the dead girl's house - a bus - because dead men don't drive.
Not to be that guy but the alex twist wasnt much of a surprise. The entire time i was telling my girl to notice that noone ever talks to alex or acknowledges her except for the sister so when that twist came i was like well yeah. It was still good tho
You have some great comments about the movie. It's fascinating hearing your thoughts about second viewings, because I think where this movie may have fallen short is that in trying so hard to set up the twist ending, it sacrificed the experience for the first viewing.
I saw that movie i was in high school but since that came i decided to watch it buy myself is was so good but my scary part of movie was the i saw mama and the dinner scene is much scarcer then the ring did
Drumdums i have a movie for u to review.. I remembered when i saw your review about best apocalypse movies.. One was the crazies.....then a remembered another film called impulse.. Made in 1984.. Underrated film.. If u get a chance watch this filmm .. U wont be disappointed..
Great Review of this movie. i Remember when me & my friend watch this movie & when the Twist got reveald i got i little bit amazed. it`s been 3 years since i say this movie with my friend.
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews Watching a suspenseful horror movie allows me some relief and escapism from life. I use your recommendations frequently and during last night's review, I did not need to be reminded of the real life tragedy of those 2 little boys. Anyways, thank you for your response and for serving in the US Army.
@@beavispdx Baseless? Why include true life tragedy (with reel time footage) in a movie review? This review was of a fictional movie, not some bio or semi-bio.
you spoiled so many movies for me, just think a bit before you name drop EVERY SINGLE TWIST ENDING MOVIE you know! I watched The Uninvited but I didn't think ill get spoilers for like 10 movies!!!
Zachary I think that’s a bit too harsh. Not garbage at all ...and the direction of the twist at the end was actually pretty profound. But like I said in the review, does it compare to tail of two sisters.
I did not see this twist coming at all. I think it shocked me more than any other twist ending before. I picked this one up at a goodwill knowing nothing about it. Was from that era in 2000s with all the PG-13 horror. Hidden gem
I think when you go into this or pretty much any film for that matter without knowing much of anything about it; makes for a better viewing experience
Before I watched it, someone mentioned to me that there's a great twist ending. I didn't figure it out until about 10 seconds before the reveal, but I did figure it out in time. LOL
@@hardcore1742 I love that it's not a direct hash of ATOTS makes it stand out on its own!
Honestly I was expecting a boring horror movie and it was just that until the very last end. All of a sudden everything flipped over
"Their poor father"
That sick jerk cheated on his dying wife with her caretaker! This was not a 'she helped her go peacefully and we got close after because we both knew how hard it was'. They looked a dying woman in the eye and felt no guilt later. And then he had the audacity to want his happy little family back? Nah bro, he deserved all that shit
Relax...I was just joking.
Raven Lavette that 'happy family' concept is nothing but a joke. Also, he could've very well waited until AFTER his wife died to get with the caretaker.
I did not understand why a an extremely sick woman was moved so far from the main house, and that tiny bell made no sense. No intercom like used in nurseries? Senseless.
I think she played the little girl in Ghost Ship. One of my favorite popcorn movies!
Haven't seen that one in ages Willy!
She did, love that movie !
I remember I was kind of young when this came out and I watched it all by myself at night time and I thought it was pretty scary in the concept behind the sister was so sad I like how they play with your mental state.
It does have some creepy moments in it.
All, I stated that Goodnight Mommy is a French film. It is actually an Austrian film. My apologies on that one. Enjoy the review!
Austria :)
I remember that one and I could tell from the start that the boy was dead just by the way the Mother treated the boy when he wanted the brother included. She wasn't having it. lol
I saw the original. I’m interested in seeing the American version of the movie!!
sorry, but fucking up two times now makes you look like a tool
I absolutely loved this movie. I didn’t even see the ending coming at all. That’s what made is so damn good.
It's a solid adaptation for sure.
What do u mean you didnt see the ending coming the movie sucked and it shows how heros are weak in over coming villians
At the end she said “I did what you told me I finished what I started” and then you see the girl across from her is the person she accused her step mother to be what was that all about?

I never knew until the end and I rewatched it again and I forgot the ending
Thanks for the shout-out, Lee! Great review!
Baby Doll is amazing in this film, also the ending twist got me rethinking life as a whole :/ 7/10
Hell yeah, she was really good.
I was so proud when I figured out the twist ending. It was about 10 seconds before the dad gave that weird face & said, "Alex? Anna, what are you saying???"

How did she have the children in her memory at the start of the film? Or was that a different version she created once she got committed to start blaming other characters for her justification for killing them?

The dad starred in my favorite LCD Soundsystem's video, love that guy!
Ive seen The Uninvited and a Tale of Two Sisters.Havent seen the Mommy one.Tale of Two Sisters is awesome.
When watched in Spanish, the plot twist wasn’t nearly as flawless. Whenever another character spoke to both sisters, he or she referred to them in plural (ustedes), rather than simply “you”, as in English, wich works perfectly to keep up with the delusion. That created several contradictions.
I would say that keeping CGI restrained and used minimally and carefully would be smart
Love this movie! Used to watch it all the time
It's a fun one for sure!
Don't kick yourself too much everybody was fooled. They did a sixth sense thing. You see that girl talking to her father and figure she's really there until the montage near the end that reminds me of joker showing them together then the girl by herself

Definitely do!

OK, so this isn't a remake of the old movie Uninvited with George Kennedy about a killer cat I saw the Rifftrax to on Tubi. Not sure when that came out, but looks like either 1970s or 1980s.
This is a remake of Tale of Two Sisters, the South Korean film.
So what bout the kids she kept seeing was that all in her head? Or did she kill them?
I think they died.

Don't forget the first rule of Fight Club...
Good video
In my opinion there was some sexual tension between her and the dad..which explains why she wanted the gf dead.
Hey lee u should do a top ten horror movies with twists
Not to be that guy but the alex twist wasnt much of a surprise. The entire time i was telling my girl to notice that noone ever talks to alex or acknowledges her except for the sister so when that twist came i was like well yeah. It was still good tho
You're not "that guy" haha. I can see how some would figure it out quickly.
I thought the film was okay but I like the twist ending
Agreed. The Twist really saves it.
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews Welcome as always
I'n here cuz I'm confused about the connection of the three siblings
the movie fractured also follows a very similar plot
I can see a lot of movies having a similar plot to this one.
For your next video you should talk about your favorite ghostface Killer
You have some great comments about the movie. It's fascinating hearing your thoughts about second viewings, because I think where this movie may have fallen short is that in trying so hard to set up the twist ending, it sacrificed the experience for the first viewing.
Yeah 2nd viewings to twist ending movies just adds for great discussion because we often see the movie through a different lens.
i do not care what some people say I want Jill Roberts to come back in scream 5 to get revenge on Sidney Prescott
Sadly Jill was killed at the end of the fourth film when Sidney shocks her with the defibrillator
have you ever thought about doing 'mulholland drive' or 'eraserhead'
Actually yes. Those could be interesting discussions.
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews i would really like to see youre opinion on either of those movies
I didn’t understand this film it was confusing
Basically one of the sisters was actually dead the whole time.
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews thx so what about the girl her dad dated I didn’t get that. And why she imagined stuff and why she kill her boyfriend
I saw that movie i was in high school but since that came i decided to watch it buy myself is was so good but my scary part of movie was the i saw mama and the dinner scene is much scarcer then the ring did
Goodnight Mommy is Austrian not French
Drumdums i have a movie for u to review.. I remembered when i saw your review about best apocalypse movies.. One was the crazies.....then a remembered another film called impulse.. Made in 1984.. Underrated film.. If u get a chance watch this filmm .. U wont be disappointed..
Great Review of this movie. i Remember when me & my friend watch this movie & when the Twist got reveald i got i little bit amazed. it`s been 3 years since i say this movie with my friend.
This dude did other movie reviews and didn't explain shit about this movie 😅😅😁
Well thanks for spoiling the twists for Tale of Two Sisters and Goodnight Mommy . . . Jesus, some of these sloppy reviewers tho 🙄
No need to bring in the story of Susan Smith, bro
Why not? I was comparing it to the murdering mother angle in the movie.
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews Watching a suspenseful horror movie allows me some relief and escapism from life. I use your recommendations frequently and during last night's review, I did not need to be reminded of the real life tragedy of those 2 little boys. Anyways, thank you for your response and for serving in the US Army.
@@jimmycooper5466 Including the Susan Smith thing was relevant and made perfect sense in context. Your criticism is baseless, david.
@@beavispdx Baseless? Why include true life tragedy (with reel time footage) in a movie review? This review was of a fictional movie, not some bio or semi-bio.
when you gonna review the hannibal tv series
It's not in my schedule, and honestly I don't have the time to run through the series again. Maybe one day.
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews wait...you mean to tell me you ran through the best tv series with a niche market and you havent reviewed it
I had no idea Goodnight Mommy was based on A Tale of Two Sisters
Yes, loosely.
The soundtrack by Christopher Young is great too, the main theme is very catchy.
Yes it's very good. I mentioned it at the end of the review.
I've seen this unfortunately I tried paying attention maybe if I see it again ill focus on the movie
you spoiled so many movies for me, just think a bit before you name drop EVERY SINGLE TWIST ENDING MOVIE you know! I watched The Uninvited but I didn't think ill get spoilers for like 10 movies!!!
If I review older titles, I always talk spoilers. I have slipped up a time or 2. So for that, I am sorry.
Talk about never getting to the point and not explaining anything...
You're not paying attention.
This dude didn't explain anything about the f****** story barely like what's the f****** twist
Actually I explained everything. It's a pretty simple twist. Don't overthink it.
Muriqi sslazio
the acting sucks but good story. The korean version is a lot better.
I will always assume that the Korean version is better.
So was da nurse a gold digger or not? She did drug her, tell her how she couldn’t have kids, and did this while dressin her like a doll?! 🤔🤷🏾♀️
I'll have to go back and rewatch but you might be right.
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews Ok. I watched it for the hundredth time yesterday, and came to UA-cam for answers. Ty!!
After watching the masterpiece A Tale of Two Sisters this is straight garbage! Lol
Zachary I think that’s a bit too harsh. Not garbage at all ...and the direction of the twist at the end was actually pretty profound. But like I said in the review, does it compare to tail of two sisters.
Your references are annoying af. Thumbs down
What?! Can you provide an example? Not sure what you mean. And honestly, I like constructive criticism. So thank you actually.
Kinda wish you hadn't spoiled two other movies in the first 10 seconds... xP
Condolences.
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews Lol well at least I'd already seen one of them, could've been worse.😂
