Shrew's Nest
Directed by Juanfer Andres, Esteban Roel
In 1950s Spain, an agoraphobic woman spends her days inside the apartment she shares with her sister, who she’s raised since their mother died. But when a handsome neighbor knocks on her door seeking help after a fall, Montse dresses his wounds and sets about ensuring he’ll never leave her apartment either. Macarena Gómez received a Goya nomination for her chilling lead performance in this gory grand dame guignol which pays homage to WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE? and MISERY. Produced by Spanish horror master Alex de la Iglesia (THE BABY’S ROOM). A SHUDDER EXCLUSIVE. Contains violence and gore.
In 1950s Spain, an agoraphobic woman becomes unhinged and imprisons an injured man in her apartment.
Cast: Nadia De Santiago, Luis Tosar, Hugo Silva, Macarena Gómez

Good movie. The ending was predictable for me.
Excellent in every way. At the end you'll feel like you've through the mill, probably.
Excellent piece of horror with fine acting and few sweet twists at the end. A nod to Stephen King's "Misery", much less painful to watch but just as visceral in parts. One of Shudder's gems.
Good.
Fantastic cast with a strong female lead and a good plot. Very well-acted. The set design and cinematography really helped make this one apartment like a whole world.
