Sleep Tight (2011)

This is actually a predictable movie, but the ending is not like what i expected to be. I think it was good, but it can be better?The story kinda reminds me of The Resident (2011), with almost all the same story, except the ending that is very different. The story about the pervert guy who owns or guards an apartment, and he abuses the priviledge of the possession of the keys. The difference is that The Resident has a secret passage to go to the all rooms, to sneak and to enter the room secretly. While here, since he is not the owner of the building and merely the concierge, so he uses the usual way to get in: the front door. Kinda stupid, because he is easily busted, and he is, by the next door girl of the guest. But yes, that is where the thrilling lies. We're gonna hate the pervert guy, but we don't want him to be caught. Kinda irony. I give the score 7/10 because the acting is very good, eventhough i don't like the story. But the movie is worth watching.

Loved it. Not the average scary movie you might expect. Has a real spanish horror/thriller twist. Great story and great creepy film. Recommend

There is no gratification for the viewer of this movie, no reward for sitting through 90 minutes of Caesar's bullshit. At least Clara had no consciousness of these moments, we had to live through awkward closeups of his ugly mug in the dark, his gross showering, and his being a black hole for the happiness of those around him.It is absolutely horrid that the only depth given to the character of Caesar is that he was an 'unhappy' man, whose perversion seems to be to see those around him unhappy. More often than unhappy though, he comes off as angry. Hateful. Cowardly. I am appalled that the filmmakers would only associate 'unhappy' with him, when there are a bunch of fitting negative words more appropriate. Calling Caesar a man who is unhappy and who can't find motivation to start his day is like saying he is a man who likes to take regular showers. Completely irrelevant. Being unhappy has nothing to do with wanting to cause pain.That being said, I started gawking when I realized that the ending was fast approaching and there was no retribution for Caesar in sight. What started off as a dark, serious movie ended on a note that cast doubt on whether it was taking itself seriously anymore. IT was one of those endings you expect from a cheesy gangster flick. Nobody anywhere at this point could be feeling any sympathy for Caesar so why did they frustratingly give him MORE pleasure? He was not an unhappy person, Miss Veronica was an unhappy person. He was just another one of the many bugs he set loose and should have met a metaphorically accurate demise.

SLEEP TIGHT is a non-supernatural horror film, about the concierge of a Spanish apartment block who - for reasons even he doesn't understand - can't be happy. As a result he hates the world and decides to rob the happiness of all the people who live in his building. To do so he uses his position to manipulate them and their lives, in an effort to mentally break them. He meets his match though in a happy young woman whose life is the polar opposite of his, which forces him to pull out all the stops. Then her boyfriend arrives to stay and things get even worse. It's an interesting concept and the film mines it for plenty of creepiness - all the scarier for its irrationality and plausibility - but it doesn't really have anywhere to go and as someone who doesn't like horror films I found little of interest to me. Those who do like the genre might feel differently.
