If you loved El Sur, try The Spirit of the Beehive

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Víctor Erice, and they both carry the cult, devastating, foreign gem mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to El Sur, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Spirit of the Beehive is

Frankenstein meets Spanish folklore. A young girl is haunted after seeing a monster movie. Ana Torrent carries this 1970s era portrait.
