Sleep Tight Reviews
Definitely watchable, but the question is what is the ultimate point. A psychopath next door sleeps repeatedly with a woman after he renders her unconscious. In the end he is able to avoid any repercussions. And life goes on. On the plus side the story avoids melodramatic exaggerations. Acting is commensurate.
A disturbing and accurate, nuanced portrait of a malignant narcissist. There of course have been thrillers about malignant narcissists before, but this one is exceptional largely because it strictly stays in the protagonist's point of view instead of perfunctorily shifting to the other characters just to lessen tension or have broad appeal.
This concierge is creepy; sleeping under the bed and poisoning you until he can have what he wants. The plot isn't earth-shattering, but it's a great Spanish thriller.
if the movies plot line and the main character's modus operandum weren't so repugnant, i'd like this movie a little more. its not a feel good flick but its clever and achieves all it sets out for.
Not a film I'll be revisiting as it achieved what it sets out to do: DISTURB & ANTAGONIZE THE VIEWER. A truly maddening tale of torment & hopelessness.
Awesome movie - really twisted and inventive!
Unsettling, creepy and, in places, quite tense, ‘Sleep Tight's' greatest achievement is just how grimy-feeling and disgusted it leaves you which, truly, is a credit to both the writers and Luis Tosar's understated central performance. I will say that it requires more than a little suspension of disbelief, but ultimately, it's a disturbing film that does what it set out to do.
Cesar, an unhappy & bitter concierge maintains a peculiar & twisted relationship with a very diverse group of inhabitants of the upper-class apartment building where he works. Recommended.
It was very intense and exciting to see how far it will go and it didn't disappoint. What a freak. I didn't know what to expect but definitely not this; surprisingly well done.
Well someone had to give this movie a no.directors nowadays tend to forget that we don't care about seeing terrible things that we read every day on the newspapers.we want a suspense story yes,but with the protagonist to be the good guy not the monster.even so,as a plot terrible mistakes over and over so that the bad guy will always get away with it.i think you got the picture.the sad thing is some people compare this cr..p with hitchcock movies.
This was amazing. I wanted to climb inside the 온라인카지노추천 and and do something to help! So well shot, so well acted, and really brutal at times. Recommended for those of you with a penchant for dark, shocking, and terrifying all at once!
Wow what a crazy movie. Like WOW! I hated this movie but thought it was f'n brilliant. The antagonist was a slimy, creepy motherf'r, who you prayed would get busted, but... watch the movie to see how that plays out. The acting was amazing, as you really rooted hard for the protagonist and the antagonist made your skin crawl and your blood boil. The direction and cinematography were amazing too, and the movie flowed beautifully and the locations/settings were perfect to tell this story. I highly recommend watching this movie, and if possible don't watch any reviews or watch any previews.
What a terrible movie. I hope that actor dies.
Thoroughly unnerving tale that revolves entirely around its villain, a voyeuristic concierge who's as patient as he is disturbed. What's more surprising is that you start feeling bad for him thanks to the superb performance by Tosar.
this wasssss not what i thought it was going to be, haha. it's pretty slow moving, but fairly intriguing the whole time i guess. it's a different kind of horror -- not the horror that'll make you jump & lose sleep at night (unless you can relate), but the horror of purposefully inflicting pain on another person, through both physical & psychological means. so if that's what you want to watch; it's not terrible.
So it turns out that the best movie of the horror fest, so far, isn't really even what one might call a conventional horror movie. There's definitely some hints of horror particularly considering the fact that, as I always say, the movie focuses on something far more real than just, say, a slasher or a ghost movie. I'm not saying that everything that happens in this movie is completely realistic, but, maybe not everyone, a lot of people know someone like Cesar is in this movie. A misanthrope who desires to make everyone around him as miserable as he is. That's a very believable concept. But I believe Cesar's attitude goes deeper than just someone who wants to make people miserable. He is a person who enjoys creating chaos in peoples' lives. He wants to see their lives crumble and he loves knowing that it was as a result of his actions. The people in question don't even have to know it was him, it just gives him satisfaction knowing that he ruined someone's lives. Cesar, the concierge at this apartment building, takes aim at the cheeriest tenant as he uses most extreme attempts to make her life absolutely miserable. By any means necessary. He sleeps in her bed, after using chloroform on her, and he does things that, he believes, would wipe the smile off her face. He injects something into her products that makes her get a rash, he fills her apartment full of bugs, among many other things. Yet, no matter what he does, Clara, the tenant Cesar is obsessed with, never loses her smile or her positive attitude. Things start to get even more complicated once Clara's boyfriend comes into question and this is when Cesar's misdeeds start catching up with him as he leaves a trail of evidence that points straight to him. Eventually, however, Cesar does accomplish his goal of making Clara absolutely miserable, it's pretty obvious if you've been keeping track, but I won't spoil it anyway. You know, this isn't the type of movie that you should watch if you're wanting something hopeful or if you want a satisfying revenge flick, this is not that, like in the slightest. But it is a really interesting, and sometimes even disturbing, character study into this man's life and how he finds very little that makes him happy so, therefore, he must make everyone as unhappy as he is to level the playing field. It's a man who has, really, no purpose to live, yet he finds it once he succeeds in destroying Clara's life. It's a really well-written movie and smart too. But, really, the film wouldn't be what it is without Luis Tosar, who plays Cesar, and his absolutely tremendous performance. He is just perfect in this movie, like he couldn't be more perfectly cast, because he does manage to walk a fine line between likable concierge and seriously fucked up individual. At first, if you hadn't even known that Cesar was the creep, you wouldn't have known it by how he acted. There's nothing about him that gives him away. It might not be much, but there's a certain subtlety that is required when pulling off 'dual' aspects of this character's personality. His performance is not over-the-top, it really is quite chilling, like the extents he would go to to cause others to be miserable. There's one particular heartbreaking scene where he just calmly berates the sweetest old lady you've ever met. He insults her, calls her old, tells her that no one will ever want to be with her at this age, among many other things. And this guy, and the actress in question, both do such a great job that, honestly, it's really one of the top 3 most memorable scenes in the entire movie. So, yea, I thought that this was a hell of a movie. I don't know if I would call it great, but it's really not that far off from it. It's a little more character-driven than your normal thriller, in that it explores the psyche of a miserable human being in his quest to destroy everyone around him emotionally. And it's really fucking good and I would highly recommend this film. The sooner you see it, the better.
