It's a pity that the Spaniards didn't have much more courage in the end (the resources and potential here were too high). Shrew’s Nest is traditionally original, intelligent, at times decently suspenseful, underlined by great acting performances, especially Macarena Gómez and her psychopathic role, but it doesn't match the hits of Sleep Tight or The Hidden Face. Decent, but the expectations were a tribute to the above, so I'm saving the higher rating for Sweet Home and Summer Camp. 65%

Montse doesn’t want to be alone. Montse is a sad case, nobody likes her and she doesn’t get any joy in life. She sacrificed her youth raising her little sister, who, after the death of her mother (while giving birth) and the disappearance of her father (in the war), didn’t have anyone who would look after her. She’s God fearing and prissy. And on top of all that, she suffers from agoraphobia, she’s not even able to leave her flat. The film relies on the superb performance of Macarena Gómez, who plays the character in an incredibly nervous way. You feel how she loses control of the unseen, and her helplessness and anger. But you also understand and sympathise with her in a way – she doesn’t want to be evil, but the circumstances of her life, which have denied her of even a shred of happiness, have turned her into a stuck-up person who makes life unpleasant for others. A very impressive film, only the ending is perhaps a bit too grandiloquent for me. I haven’t felt sorry for a “villain” in a long time. After a relatively long break, I’m again satisfied with a Spanish horror thriller.

Musaraňas is a great horror drama mainly thanks to Macarena Gómez, who with her horrorously dramatic face can move any needed wrinkle to express every single feeling of her character Montse. If she didn't play the main role, I can hardly imagine that it would have intrigued me so intensively. The Spaniards obviously spiced up the simple but captivating story with a fast-paced, somewhat confusing, and frantic ending, which this time didn't put me off and gave me hope for both directors and especially Macarena in the future, and it's a shame that Macarena doesn't get more leading roles.
