    Wow, I remember ¡Átame! Enjoyable for the most part, but also creepy as hell, and Marina falling for him at the end was just… ugh.

    I wonder if that movie could still be made in Spain, today?

      Spoilers!

      Although, that being said, the detail revealed is enough to make me not want to watch it after all, so also, thanks! 😁
