The film had been able to do - if it wanted to be good at really - was to show not only that the sc


Sleep Tight is a classic type of psycho-thriller, made with a lot of cleverness and sense of excitement - it is worth seeing if you want to see psychopathic behavior and not ask too many questions. But that's not how smart anytime and I disturbed me a little more on it than what I thought of it.
It's one of those movies where you have to accept all or nothing. The main character César (Luis Tosar) is a doorman who "never happy" - he does not know why but now it is so; His only "consolation" is that others are unhappy. So his life is to make life miserable for others.
He does this by working in the lobby of an apartment building where he was, of course, have keys to all apartments. He has been and snooped around in all apartments and ensured that messing with their environment - it does not say straight out how, but has at least guaranteed given an aunt dogs too much food; possibly he has also defecated in their toilets without academy awards categories flushing, but who knows.
But one thing bothers academy awards categories him: The eternally happy young Clara (Marta Etura) that however much he tries to remain academy awards categories as cheerful smile every morning. They are seen daily in the lobby - yes, Clara does not know that she spent the night with César, who tend to be under her bed and wait for her to fall asleep, and then he gently for a cloth dipped academy awards categories in ether under her nose.
Since then he sprayed into god-knows-what in her ointments and ensured that cockroaches are invading the apartment - and more - but no matter how he tries to ruin her life so he manages to never. As the psychopathic troll he is so thinks he is not giving up, of course. The methods must only be worse.
This then because César is "chronically unhappy" and wants revenge on everyone else for this. I do not know exactly what his disorder is. Simply put, he is a film-psychopath. Diagnosis: He is evil because he is disturbed.
Sleep Tight ask for pretty much of one. Second, it that we accept this without problems - Carla never look under the bed, she can not hear breathe there, no stomach to rumble and César never coughing - she never has sex and there is no reason whatsoever for something that, for example, roll under the bed.
We must assume that César has both luck and tremendous skill - the same logic, academy awards categories we must assume that his etheric ointments are perfectly designed for Clara to sleep at five in the morning, when César leave her room, but able to wake up by his alarm clock quartz in eight (as she always does).
Since these are issues that pop up almost immediately so can express academy awards categories I do not continue on this track - more questions arise as to the plot spinning off in ever more twisted heights (via a pair of fairly unnecessary side plots) - but you know what I mean. The film obviously academy awards categories plays heavily on the good old psychopath card. As long as we think that César is creepy, and so long as we started academy awards categories with the idea that we can be influenced by burglars without us noticing it, so the film will probably work.
It is directed by Jaume Balagueró which made brilliant movies - like found footage film Rec (2007) - and wretched movies - like Rec 2 (2009). He makes a habilt job with Sleep Tight but while the script (Alberto Marini) has a fuskig tendency to ignore any event that would exist in reality. César has stalked Clara for several academy awards categories years but we must not see anything from police investigations for it must be the toughest police investigation in history - when they have long figured out that the stalker-SMS: one came from her own apartment is César not even questioned; Clara also has a boyfriend (Alberto San Juan) who in a very convenient way is out of the picture in her life and at one point staged a murder to be a suicide, and it probably had not been required Poirot to figure out the murder scene.
The premise is understood that César is so kind and polite to the world, and that therefore we should believe that no one can doubt him, but no matter how many signs pointing academy awards categories towards him so no one gets suspicious of him and it is done solely for the script wants it should be so. A much more unpleasant tendency of the film is namely that the script is somewhat enamored of César and ideally want him to get their way - ie getting crush Clara - as a pure psycho-fantasy is realized (against the real odds) on a desperate and rather unsympathetic manner. When the credits goes, one can in and of itself imagine that César can GET NAILED by the police (the film also wish that we completely ignore that brand new discovery of DNA) but I think you will like him in some sick way and give him a dreamed victory.
The film had been able to do - if it wanted to be good at really - was to show not only that the scenario might work in real life, but also how it could work. Then it would have been nasty
