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.

Boas atuações para uma boa trama. Excellent film. You buy all the protagonist's pains and at the same time you are distressed by her choices. Good acting for a good plot. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 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.
