(2006) To Let/ Películas para no dormir: Para entrar a vivir (Films to Keep You Awake: To Enter to Live) (In Spanish with English subtitles) PSYCHOLOGICAL HORROR

Co-written and directed by Jaume Balagueró that has a nurse, Clara coming out of the hospital with her boyfriend, Mario waiting for her at the car. Upon driving away, he then shows her an ad of an address advertising for a cheaper place. Further telling her to either live with his parents or rent a cheaper apartment. She decides to take a little nap, and by the time he reaches his destination, during which is the time she finally wakes up, they are then greeted by what they assume is the landlady, Portera (Nuria González).

Part of the "6 Films to Keep You Awake" I was like, going to give this film a five, but as the movie continued toward the end, the movie less sense as it continued, leading to the ridiculous ending that it did. I have no idea why both Mario and Clara wanted to release a person both of them have neither talked to! Why Clara never used the taser on the nut who opened the hatch as soon as she found out the person that was chained up! That he was the landlady's mother's son, and is supposed to be crazier than her! That after the landlady was knocked unconscious that was not like, locked up inside one of her rooms or was she ever chained up! Dumbing down characters does not make a movie scary at all.
