The Grandmother

The Grandmother (La abuela, 2022) is a Spanish horror film by Paco Plaza that you can watch online on iFILM. Susana models in Paris until a phone call pulls her back to Madrid — her grandmother Pilar has had a stroke and can't be left alone.

What was supposed to be a few days turns into a slow trap inside an old apartment, where the frail old woman sometimes fails to recognize Susana and sometimes stares far too long. Almudena Amor carries the lead, and Plaza, the director behind REC, builds dread out of silence, aging bodies and the fear of becoming your own caretaker — not jump scares. It's a patient, deeply physical kind of horror that gets under your skin rather than making you flinch. Stream The Grandmother (2022) online on iFILM.
