User Comments for: La Abuela (The Grandmother)

It uses horror to build a reflection of the passage of time, of the immediacy of beauty (Vera Valdez, the grandmother, was a model for Coco Chanel), wrapped in a story of witchcraft and decrepitude. It makes clever use of sounds, of the creaks of the old apartment, and has a soundtrack that sets a dark atmosphere rather than simply highlighting the tense moments. But it is a simple horror, low risk, whose references to "Repulsion" (Roman Polanski, 1975) works against him.
