If you know anything about my taste in film, then you know that I am pretty much the target audience for a film about a woman who is tied up and forced to be the plaything of another woman, which is why I agreed to watch and review Para Elisa in the first place. But, Para Elisa contains some of the laziest storytelling I have seen in a film in a long time, and I absolutely hated it.

Lots of horror movies start with a young woman accepting a mysterious offer and living to regret it in seriously unpleasant ways, and here's an interesting new one from Spain known as For Elise (aka Para Elisa and For Elisa, I think). Not many of the components offered here are all that unique or remarkable on their own (more on those in a minute), but it's the combination of story points, suspense moments, and slightly familiar themes that make For Elise such a strangely amusing horror import.

  Ana (Ona Casamiquela) needs a job in a hurry, so she applies to work as a caretaker for a mentally-challenged teenager named, you guessed it, Elisa (Ana Turpin).
