32 Malasana Street (2020)
Directed by Albert Pintó from a script by Ramón Campos, Gema R. Neira, David Orea, and Salvador S. Molina—and purportedly inspired by true events—this 1976-set tale introduces us to the multi-generational, semi-dysfunctional Olmedo family, who move from their farm to Madrid hoping for a fresh start. It doesn’t take long before their ramshackle new apartment, which is still filled with the belongings of its deceased former owner, starts showing every sign of being haunted. We’ve seen many a ghost story with this basic premise before, but 32 Malasana Street is a cut above: Excellently directed and acted, not to mention atmospheric as hell and legitimately terrifying.
