Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Cesar (Luis Tosar) is the concierge/super for an apartment building. He seems like a normal helpful person, however under it all he is not a people person. At night he has chloroform sex with Clara, an unsuspecting tenant. He confesses his misdeeds to his mother, who is bed ridden, unable to speak, only cry. He is also being blackmailed by a young girl (Iris Almeida) who espies him coming out of Clara's room (Marta Etura).The film is not overly graphic and goes easy on the "perv" factor. You are drawn into the film to see how far Cesar will go to make everyone miserable. It is a well done production, unlike so many "B" films in this genre.The film lacks any real good "B" horror. At the same time it is a "B" movie subject. I would imagine the niche is narrow for a fan base in this slow moving tale.Parental Guide: F-bomb, brief sex, brief nudity.

Sleep Tight is a lean and tight thriller. Not a horror movie in the strictest sense, more Hithcockian in execution. It's really Rear Window meets Psycho but without the follow-through. Cesar sneaks into people's apartments at night, since he's the concierge and has the keys for every one of them, and does stuff to mess with them and interfere with their lives. The film seems to ask questions about what a protagonist is in a story told this way, but I'm not sure it ever becomes more than superficial. The tension and the audience relation with Cesar when he's trapped in a woman's apartment would seem to indicate we are on the wrong side (what does that mean? do we actually feel bad for Cesar?).

SPOILERS!Sleep Tight is about a creepy man who works in a apartment building as a concierge, who creeps in everybody's apartments, especially in Clara's apartment. The creepy man Cesar has made a mission to make everybody's life's miserable. The movie focus a lot on him being mean to a lot of people. Making them suffer but mostly coming into Clara's apartment and drug her in her sleep, for his own sexual needs….This dude loves to make a lot of people suffer. The reasons is because he is depressed and lonely, this we can see in the movie back. We can see the woman Clara always being happy and bright, which makes Cesar kinda feel like jealous and wants to destroy her life, so that he isn't the only sad one. That's what I got from the movie. Even though he is really depressed and has a bad life, he is really a bad man, who gives me the creeps!! The movie was actually interesting to watch. I'm a person who doesn't like a very slow movie and this movie happened to started fast into actions.

You know those kinna people whose mission in life seems to lie in projecting their own personal misery on to everybody else? Truth be told, and most unfortunately, we ALL do, right? Well, this guy in the squeamish Spanish suspenser "Sleep Tight" takes that morose mentality to a most monstrous art form.Carlos is diabolically driven with every foul fiber of his being to indiscriminately INFEST any poor soul who crosses his path with the hopeless misery that pervades his wretched existence. And such unharnessed hatred even extends to his OWN DYING MOTHER! Carlos's principal possession is to effect the irrevocable obliteration of a perpetually bubbly disposition. Such cheeriness is unfailingly displayed by a friendly young lass who lives in the apartment building in which Carlos toils as a handyman. As wholly abhorrent as this was to witness, I was transfixed as this heartless heathen carries out the systematic disintegration of a heretofore effortlessly contented human spirit. It is both stunning and sickening to absorb.Now there are some scenes in this film that you're gonna need to just let go. Stuff that, if you didn't have it, then you simply wouldn't have a movie kinna stuff. But it doesn't detract from the comprehensive creepiness quotient of the perverse proceedings.Toward the end of "Sleep Tight", I found myself REALLY wishing that one especially viciously violated character in particular would have emerged as a vanquisher of evil here. You will likely pick out the one I'm referring to, as these moments of callous cruelty are roundly heartbreaking.There is a place in this story where we come to understand that this demon seed was born innately and incurably unhappy, and will remain so for the duration of his entirely self-inflicted hell on earth.As I wind up this review may I offer the following recommendation by way of a lasting lesson learned: Will ya just crack a damn JOKE every ONCE in a while for crissakes?!
