Goodnight, Billy

About This Movie

Goodnight, Billy has this eerie, unsettling vibe that really captures childhood fears in a raw way. The pacing kind of lulls you into this sense of security before it pulls the rug out from under you, which works well considering it’s a horror. The practical effects are on point, giving it that tangible realism that CGI just can’t replicate. You can feel the tension in the air as the little girl navigates through her night terrors. The performances are solid, especially from the young lead—she carries a lot of weight without being overly dramatic. It’s distinct in how it intertwines innocence with fear, making you reflect on those dark corners of your own childhood nightmares.
