Spanish Movie

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 the last film of his to be released during his lifetime). Production started on 23 February 2009 in Barcelona and the film was released in cinemas on 4 December of that year. Plot Ramira (Alexandra Jiménez) works as maid and nanny to Laura (Silvia Abril) and her children: Simeón and Ofendia (Óscar Lara and Laia Alda). Unfortunately, Ramira kills the boy, who suffers from photodermatitis, within minutes of meeting him, when she insists he goes out and gets some sun.
