Shrew's Nest. 2014.

In Madrid in 1950, Montse lives with her 18 year old sister Nina, she is agoraphobic and works at home as a dress maker. One day her upstairs neighbour Carlos falls down and begs Montse to help him, soon her caring side turns sinister.

Although this had a very slow direction and seems to take forever, it does have it's good points, the film does exploit the mind of a shut in and slowly paranoia sets in and Montse remembers her troubled past with her father who she seems to take out her anger on anyone. This did seem like a homage to Misery and same suspense and tense moments, with a guy stuck to a bed. Macarena Gomez does play a good role as the fragile Montse who calm be calm one minute then flick a switch to anger the next.
