Crazy Old Lady

Pedro gets a desperate plea from his ex to watch over her elderly mother, Alicia. What seems like a favor quickly spirals into a tense siege of fear and manipulation. Alicia, a sharp tongued and unpredictable woman, seems to know Pedro's every move. The longer he stays, the more the house feels otherworldly, as if the walls are listening. He tries to slip away, but the old woman refuses to let him go, turning sounds into threats and ordinary rooms into traps. The situation fuses horror and humor as Pedro discovers that the real danger may not be the threats outside but the secrets inside this house and in Alicia's past. No spoilers, but night grows heavier, for a moment.
