Shrew's Nest

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.

I would give this more skulls if I could. Phenomenal and heart wrenching film.
It was pretty good. The tension builds well and the plot is unpredictable. The protagonists could have easily done things better and at times they seem to be serving the plot over their own self interest, but if you can suspend disbelief its not too egregious.
Good film with some nice twists and turns. Well acted. Not a lot of gore but where there is it’s unexpected and very rewarding.
