Masterful Movie

Absolutely the worst movie.

Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

This movie actually reminds me a bit of a short movie a friend of mine made. It's called "Martha", a Belgian movie. Well at least it has some similarities. But Mientras Duermes (or Sleep Tight) is certainly a must see if you like psychological thrillers. There are a couple scenes where you can literally feel the tension. Luis Tosar plays his role as the mentally disturbed Cesar beautifully. It's an interesting story in the mind of a psychopath. There are not really gory scenes or so but the tension and suspense make this movie a little bit of a horror movie. Just for the story alone, if you imagine that there are disturbed people like that in this world. Cesar could be anyone, it could be someone you know, and that makes it frightening. I really enjoyed this movie from the first second till the last. It's a movie I'm keeping and that I will watch again in the future.

This has a good black comedic/creepy idea – the story of a seemingly quiet concierge in an upscale apartment building who is actually an angry, rather insane depressive who loves to quietly screw with peoples lives and try to make them as miserable as he is. He meets his match in the seemingly always upbeat Mimi, a sexy young woman who lives in the building who literally dances alone around her apartment to peppy music every morning. Cesar, the super, gets ever more complex and outlandish in his increasingly dangerous attempts at bringing some rain into Mimi's life. But more often than not his plots backfire on him, adding a sort of grown-up Roadrunner/Coyote humor to the very creepy creepiness. Sadly, and I guess inevitably it grows more serious, more repetitive, more predictable, less logical, less thematic and less fun as it goes along, until I was finally just waiting for it to play out it's familiar horror/thriller tropes and end. However, a well handled last twist won me part way back. But not quite far enough to want to revisit this

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?).

Cesar,truly twisted character.Scared the little girl,as I guess he didn't want competition in the years to come.She was a horrid little creature and more than capable of developing into a problem.Still think the directors could of backed Cesar into a corner a bit more by using the girl character to inflict more damage onto his already unbalanced mind.Would of been nice to see him pushed a bit more.Unlike most,I believe the end letter received by Clara did not actually uncover anything.No name on letter? So doesn't imply its from Cesar.Who knows whats in the diary? As it seems hes continuing his mission,nothing can be brought upon him.Actually a quite enjoyable watch.No twists and turns with a storyline you lose interest in because its hard to follow,no,this film is easy to follow,its just about an absolute nutter with general good manners but with twisted aspirations to make everybody else unhappy! Enjoy!
