chitown2bayarea Unbelievable performance by Macarena Gomez! Crept me out for the whole film! Must watch!! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/27/24 Full Review Peter G Macarena Gomez, a Spanish actress new to me, gives a riveting & throughly creepy characterization of a psychologically afflicted dress maker in the second notable contemporary Spanish film (the first being THE INVISIBLE GUEST) that I have seen this week, SHREW‘S NEST. This picture is absorbing throughout & concerns this woman‘s ultimate deterioration into total madness after initially rescuing & eventually holding hostage a neighbor who arrives at her door having suffered a broken leg from a fall in their apt. complex. Similar in some ways to MISERY but even more complex in that it also portrays the controlling & disfunctional relationship with another younger family member living in the same apt. Family secrets are revealed amidst the ensuing chaos which builds to a devastating climax. The direction & script remain solid & surprisingly credible for such an potentially outlandish premise & although the rest of the cast is effective this is really Gomez‘ film & it makes me curious to see more of her work. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/12/23 Full Review Mike H Brilliant. Super suspenseful and twisty. If you're a Hitchcock fan you'd like this. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/15/22 Full Review Late R Tense with a well-written, complex central character (played wonderfully by Macarena Gómez), ‘Shrew's Nest' starts off as a family drama where it's immediately apparent that something isn't right and transitions into a psychological thriller with horror undertones that, gradually, reveals the reasons why things feel off in the household. It's a bit predictable which is something that could have been improved upon with a little rejigging of the screenplay, but it still leaves a strong impression. This isn't straight-up horror, but that doesn't mean that this slow-burning, Spanish film isn't scary in its own way.
