Malasaña 32

Set against the backdrop of a politically charged Madrid in 1976, Malasaña 32 weaves a chilling tale of the Olmedo family, who are eager to start anew in their spacious apartment in the titular neighborhood. However, their excitement quickly turns to dread as they uncover a sinister presence lurking within the walls of their new home. As strange occurrences escalate—whispers echo in the hallways and shadows flicker at the edges of their vision—the family must confront not only the malevolent forces haunting them but also the deeper, darker history of the apartment itself.

The film brilliantly intertwines the family’s personal struggles with the societal upheaval of the time, using horror to reflect the disquiet and uncertainty of a nation on the brink of change. Each member of the Olmedo family experiences their own transformation as the supernatural events serve as a catalyst for revealing buried fears and secrets. The characters, from the stoic father to the increasingly fraught mother and their curious children, add depth to this atmospheric mystery, making it as much about family dynamics as it is about the horrors that haunt them. With a captivating blend of suspense and social commentary, Malasaña 32 invites viewers into a world where the past refuses to stay buried, and the true terror lies not just in the supernatural, but in the shadows of history itself.
