6/10
American remakes taking back the tension, as usual.

Warning: Spoilers
Not bad, it can be entertaining for those who didn't watch the original Austrian film, but if you did watch it, then you'd realize there's no suspense anymore, just a family drama without the tension it's almost predictable, that eerie feeling of uncertainty doesn't strike you as good. In the original, they give off clues of one of the twins' death and don't mention anything about it throughout most of the film, at least the mother plays the role and tries her best to bond with her son. The mother here is all whacko so as a result the viewer distrusts her almost immediately; more like an evil nanny than a regular mother. Can be good, just not as good.
