We’ve got some quick acquisition news to throw your way today as word is coming in via THR that Radius has just snagged the North American rights to GOODNIGHT MOMMY, a new thriller that recently saw its premiere at the Venice Film Festival. This one will be helmed by Austrian directing duo Veronika Franz and Severin Fiala, it takes place in an isolated home and centers on a pair of twins whose mother returns home from the hospital. But with a bandaged-up face and off-kilter behavior, the twins begin to think that perhaps this isn’t their mother after all.

The synopsis:

10-year-old twins wait for their mother. When she returns with her head wrapped in bandages after surgery, nothing is as it was before. Stern and distant now, she shuts the family off from the outside world. Starting to doubt that this woman is actually their mother, the boys are determined to find the truth by any means.

Twins Elias Schwarz and Lukas Schwarz star alongside Susanne Wuest. GOODNIGHT MOMMY is expected to have a 2015 release. Keep an eye here for more!
