Shrew’s Nest (2014)

Option 1Can't Watch?

Wait 30secs. Movie still not playing? Click the "Can't Watch?" tab.

If the movie didn't load, it means you are being blocked by a security service we use. This can happen for a number of reasons.

Click this first

A new tab will open and a basic security check like a captcha will be performed. After completing the check, close that page and return here.

Refresh this page. Wait 30 secs. The movie should load and you can just hit play.



If it still doesn't play, Click here to watch the movie

The movie should now start playing in a new tab of your browser or begin downloading to your device. This option has the minor disadvantage that English-language movies with optional subtitles in the movie player will not include these subs with this method.

The new system here has been designed keeping in mind even people with low internet speeds sub-8mbps. Even if you have a really bad connection, you should still be able to watch the movie without any issues if you:
Start the movie. Pause it. Wait for 30-45 seconds. Start playing again.

This 'Can't Watch' method really only works if it's your specific device/browser that's interfering with the player. There is no real advantage of speed here. Or if there is a temp network glitch or read lag from the server disk.

If you're still having problems, try using 'Incognito mode' in your browser. On iPhones, especially older ones, use Chrome instead of Safari. Might help.

IMPORTANT: Please make sure that the newly opened tab is not an ad popup asking you to download some software or whatever. Close any such popups and don't download any software - those are ads. Nothing is needed to be done by you other than to complete the security check which is often automated.

Plot – Spoilers:
In post-War Spain, an 18-year-old nameless (to us) girl shares an uneasy relationship with the much-older Montse, who’s brought her up more as a daughter than sister, following the loss of their father. The unease in the relationship mostly stems from Montse’s overprotectiveness that includes physical abuse and which feels like stifling control to the girl. Apart from this, the two share comfortable roles within the household. The girl works at a nearby shop to supplement Montse’s tailoring skills that have earned her a loyal and admiring clientele, and Montse on her part makes sure she has hot meals ready for the girl’s lunchbreaks.

Shrews are claimed to to be wildly territorial, and Montse similarly fiercely defends their lives from being intruded into, though this is of late getting harder, with the girl growing up. Montse’s territorial behavior is more in reverse though. Not only is she terrified of the girl one day leaving her, but she also suffers from crippling agoraphobia foisted on her by an abusive father. So for now, Montse prowls the four walls of her apartment, addicted to morphine and staving off tormenting visions of her contemptuous father that plunge her into states of despair or melancholy.

Then one sudden day, a man falls down the stairs and rolls up at her door. It’s that one in a million chance that Montse ever had of having a man in her life. And she’s eager to not let it go.

This movie has a similar storyline to La Gabbia. I found the beginning 1/3 of the movie to be kind of slow but it’s worth persevering – it get’s pretty twisted later on.

8/10

WOW, loved it, some gore with a great story line. Not sure about the ending though. Who were these women, sisters or something else? Must have missed that part, guess i’ll have to watch it again sometime… Thanks EUM, this is the only place you’ll find such fascinating films.

@Admin: It’s “of late” not “off late” in reference to your narrative.

This one is really good. It’s a cross between “Misery” and “Intruders” with a touch of Barney Miller and Sally from “The Godfather” thrown in as the abuser. Lois Tosar looks just like Abe Vigoda. The “plot twist” all you guys are taking about I saw coming a mile away. Macarena Gomez who played “Montse” did a fantastic job. It’s good. Watch it.

A family dispute between siblings with a slight twist at the end. Pretty well written, I did not see that one coming. Good movie

Great film, you might want to check Pan’s Labyrinth which leans more to the fantasy category yet it gave me nightmares as a kid

I have been learning Spanish for a month. Spanish from Spain is a little hard to follow because the weird lisp. But I’m happy to say I ignored the subs and was mostly able to understand the film. And super enjoyed it. BTW montse is kinda cute.
