How it feels

This film makes fun of famous Spanish horror and drama movies by turning their plots into jokes. It follows characters from those films as they get into ridiculous situations.

What happens

Spanish Movie is a 2009 Spanish parody film directed by Javier Ruiz Caldera and written by Paco Cabezas. The film was conceived as a Spanish version of the spoof films that were appearing at the time, continuing the trend begun by the Scary Movie franchise. The production parodies several successful Spanish horror/drama films including: The Others, The Orphanage, Alatriste, Open Your Eyes, Mondays in the Sun, Volver, The Sea Inside, Pan's Labyrinth and REC. It features a cameo by Leslie Nielsen in his last theatrical film appearance. Production started on 23 February 2009 in Barcelona and the film was released in cinemas on 4 December of that year.
