Review of Sleep Tight (2011) by Al M — 23 Mar 2013
From Spanish Jaume Balaguero (Rec, Rec 2, The Nameless, etc.), Sleep Tight is a stylish little horror film that concerns an apartment doorman who believes than he cannot experience happiness, so he tries to rob others of happiness.
He meets a challenge in an always chipper and beautiful young female tenant who initially seems immune to his tamer intrusions into her life. Consequently, Cesar begins to become more and more extreme in his invasions of her home.
A dark, twisted, and unsettling film, Sleep Tight explores the fundamental human desire to inscribe meaning upon our lives and how that can go wrong when it slips into a kind of narcissism or solipsism that seeks meaning at the expense of others.
