Why watch this film?
The Spanish filmmaker Paco Plaza (director of '[Rec]') returns with an emotional movie, taking him to a new territory in his filmography: the thriller. 'Quien a hierro mata' is a story of intrigue and revenge without grand ambitions, but with an excellent execution of the script written by four hands of Juan Galiñanes and Jorge Guerricaechevarría (screenwriter of 'As Bruxas de Zugarramurdi'). In addition, the film is starred by the always spectacular Luis Tosar ('Cela 211'), who was nominated for the Goya Award for his performance.

Veronica
'Veronica' is one of those scary movies that create a chilling atmosphere without having to rely too much on jump scares - those startling moments that "jump" in front of the viewer. Moreover, the story is inspired by the "Vallecas Archive," a supernatural case that occurred in Spain in the 90s. It is directed by Paco Plaza, the same director as '[REC]'.
The Grandmother
Thanks to the zombie movie franchise '[Rec]', Spanish filmmaker Paco Plaza has become a reference in modern horror cinema, and with each new project bearing his name, the expectations of genre fans increase. 'La abuela', although it does not reach these ambitions, offers a horror story that is as frighteningly metaphorical as it is elegantly presented. The story follows a young woman (Almudena Amor) who works as a model in Paris, but is forced to return to Madrid to take care of her grandmother (Vera Valdez), who raised her when she became an orphan and is now dependent due to a stroke. 'La abuela' is a metaphor about the fear of aging and that family ties become shackles, and although it relies on the already clichéd device of plunging its protagonist into a situation that is not clear if it is real or just a product of imagination, Plaza's skill in generating a truly dark and disturbing atmosphere makes this proposal stand out among so many others.

[Rec]
When "[REC]" premiered, the "found footage" device was already widely known, but the movie is a demonstration that, in the right hands, the device can be used for a glorious and immersive horror experience that will be hard to forget. Directed by Paco Plaza and Jaume Balagueró, this Spanish production is one of the most remembered zombie horror films of the 21st century so far.
Sister Death
When we talk about horror cinema and the name Paco Plaza ([Rec], Veronica), we know we can expect at least a satisfying experience. "Sister Death" confirms the rule: the film is about Narcisa (an outstanding Aria Bedmar), a young woman who had a miraculous childhood and decides to become a novice. Working as a teacher in a former convent turned girls' school, Narcisa soon experiences disturbing and strange events that lead her into a crisis of faith and the unraveling of terrible secrets within the convent. Without reinventing the wheel but with very effective imagery, it's a solid Spanish horror proposition in the ever-engaging trend of "cursed nuns."
Thriller
Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2
Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 is the unlikely sequel to the feature film that placed the characters of this playful and childlike universe into a world of violence and horror. However, don't expect a production as weak as the previous film: with the success of the first installment at the box office, the production had more money to invest, and thus Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 manages to be more realistic, violent, and impressive compared to the first film. The characters' masks are much scarier, and it ceases to be a complete joke. It's still difficult to take the film entirely seriously, especially with this bizarre premise of Pooh and his friends seeking bloody revenge, but you can already feel more fear and, above all, immerse yourself in the wave of violence that the film promotes. To have fun with friends.
Sleeping Dogs
