Anna Fritz is a famous, beloved young actress and model, often compared to a modern-day Grace Kelly. When she suddenly dies, her body is taken to a hospital morgue. The Corpse Of Anna Fritz -2015

Three young men—Pau, a hospital orderly, and his two friends, Javi and Iván—break into the morgue at night to see the celebrity corpse. Their initial morbid curiosity quickly escalates into a depraved act of necrophilia. However, during the act, they discover a horrifying truth: Anna Fritz is not dead. She is in a deep coma, unresponsive but very much alive.

What follows is a tense, claustrophobic nightmare. The men must decide what to do—call for help, or eliminate the only witness to their crime. The film spirals into a brutal struggle for survival as Anna wakes up and fights back. This film is not exploitative in a “grindhouse”

Iván embodies toxic masculinity—domineering, entitled, and violent. Pau follows him out of weakness and a desire for belonging. Javi represents passive conscience, ultimately useless. The film shows how male bonding can enable atrocity, and how the fear of losing status can override basic humanity.

Trigger warnings (very serious):

This film is not exploitative in a “grindhouse” way—it is deliberately cold and realistic, which makes it far more disturbing than a typical horror movie.

"The Corpse of Anna Fritz" (original Spanish title: El cadáver de Anna Fritz) is a 2015 Spanish thriller directed by Hèctor Hernández Vicens. It is a film that thrives on discomfort, blending elements of psychological horror with an unflinching exploration of human depravity. Though it operates within the subgenre of "extreme cinema," it distinguishes itself through a claustrophobic setting and a narrative that pivots from perverse fantasy to a brutal fight for survival. Iván embodies toxic masculinity—domineering

The Corpse of Anna Fritz is not entertainment in the traditional sense. It is a chilling, low-budget pressure cooker designed to make you feel complicit, uncomfortable, and horrified. It succeeds brilliantly at what it sets out to do—but you will not “enjoy” it. Watch it if you appreciate morally complex, arthouse-adjacent horror that challenges the viewer. Avoid it if you are sensitive to sexual violence or prefer escapist cinema.
