Juanfer Andres & Esteban Roel’s Spanish horror movie Shrew’s Nest is currently a Shudder Exclusive. And today we hear that the flick is getting the English-language remake treatment.
Deadline reports Paramount will remake the psychological thriller with director Rachel Chavkin set to helm the new take adapted by Ben Collins and Luke Piotrowski (Super Dark Times).
Rachel Chavkin is making her feature film directorial debut on the remake after winning a Tony last year for Best Direction of a Musical for some play called Hadestown. I have not seen it.
Macarena Gómez received a Goya nomination for her role in the original version, which was produced by Spanish horror master Alex de la Iglesia (The Baby’s Room, Witching & Bitching).
The thriller is reminiscent of Misery and Black Swan and is set in Spain during the 1950s. It follows an agoraphobic woman who raises her younger sister in an apartment locked away from the world. But one day, a reckless young neighbor, Carlos, falls down the stairwell and drags himself to their door. Someone has entered the shrew’s nest, and it doesn’t look like he’s leaving.
