What would you do if, at night, while going down a deserted secondary road, a strange girl appeared to you wandering? Well, some of us would “pass”, others might call the Civil Guard and a few would stop to see what that girl is doing there. To this last group correspond the protagonists of 'Jaula', the Spanish horror film produced by Álex de la Iglesia which, to date, appears as the number 1 viewing among Netflix content.
The protagonists are Paula (Elena Anaya) and her husband Simón (Pablo Molinero), who meet Clara (Eva Tennear, an actress with a frankly creepy face) alone in the middle of the road and They try to save her. They take him to the hospital and there, at the suggestion of the doctors and the workers, they decide to take him in.
Precisely motherhood is one of the touchstones of the film, since Paula undergoes a treatment of in vitro fertilization; At one point in 'Cage', we see her inject herself with hormones. This treatment is already pushing the couple over the edge, but Clara's arrival will be like a Molotov cocktail.
The little girl lives obsessed with the fantasy of a monster who will punish her if she leaves a painted chalk square on the floor. But if the torment wasn't enough, it seems Clara is responsible for some weird things starting to happen at home, like the couple's friends eating the glass from a jar of jam during a meal.

Paula, who by instinct and relationship has forged a bond with her, seeks to understand Clara and to make herself understood in turn. Thus, he tries to discover Clara's origins before their paths cross. However, when he searches for answers, he gets more than he bargained for.
If you remember the film "The Orphan" by Jaume Collet-Serra, from 2009, this film has many parallelsYes But Elena Anaya wasn't in it, who in 'Cage' delivers one of the best roles of her career bringing great psychological weight to the film as a woman who resolves her relationship to motherhood in a turbulent, real-time way. . He has an almost wild claw that is hard to ignore.

This is the first feature film Ignatius Tatay, so far focused on short films and scripts, and in him we appreciate that there is wood to become a good director of 'thriller'. He doesn't have a lot of resources in 'Cage', but he manages to establish an all-pervading fear through desaturated grays and little dialogue.
The movie (we won't spoil) has an amazing plot twist at one point in which the narration starts to get weird and decadent which again manages to hook the viewer. It is a very good idea even if it is regularly carried out. Worth seeing the Tatay premiere; We are facing a beautiful promise of the 'thriller' capable of spinning all its ambitions and achieving a truly impressive atmosphere.
