Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for readers who like to compare the book and the screen version and people who enjoy a knot in their stomach. Adapted from a book, so readers can compare notes. Shelve it next to Rosemary's Baby or mother!.
The mood
Scary.
The pace
Keeps the tension tight, at 1 hr 36 min.
What might put you off
  • Rated R: meant for adults.
  • It's in Spanish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1972: an older pace and style.
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

A young newlywed woman begins to have disturbing nightmares just after settling into the old mansion that has belonged to her husband's family for centuries. When her sinister dreams come true, the innocent bride is caught in a maddening maze of unspeakable horrors.
