It's still me under here.

Warning: Spoilers
When I read the description, I thought I had seen this before. I had seen the original with subtitles. The good news is my memory is so bad, I forgot the ending, so it was like watching the feature for the first time. Sometimes I feel I can find my own Easter eggs. Elias and Lukas are twin boys going to stay with mom, a model/actress. Dad drops them off and doesn't come in. Mom is wearing a head bandage after having some work done. They live in a large country estate. Mom (Naomi Watts) gives the kids new rules about being quiet in the house and staying out of the barn and her room which as boys they immediately disobey. There are clues this is not their mother. Her eyes are blue and not green. She doesn't know their bed time song. She tosses out a drawing Elias made for her. Who is she?

It wasn't until we got to the end did I remember the twist. Sorry to mention there was one and it is not new. I feel stupid for having missed it. That means the film was done well and going back you see the clues.

Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.
