One of the better horror films in the last few years has been Jaume Balaguero‘s [REC]. I have yet to see his sequel (and he has two more on the way), but the film was already remade into Quarantine over here. His next feature, Sleep Tight, stars Luis Tosar and Marta Etura, and we have the English-subtitled trailer from Twitch. Unfortunately much of the fun found in something like [REC] is missing here. It looks dreary and downright creepy, a style I’m getting sick of in psychologically horror films. Check it out below and let us know what you think.
Synopsis:
Cesar works as a doorman in a Barcelona apartment building. Happiness eludes him and he feels the need to reaffirm his reasons for living on a daily basis. He goes about his day to day work mainly unnoticed by the residents of the building, but he pays close attention to them. He knows all the intimate details of their lives, everything about them, especially one of them. Clara is a happy-go-lucky young woman, who always looks on the positive side of things. Her cheery attitude to life makes Cesar’ skin crawl. He won’t be happy until he has wiped that smile of her face once and for all, because Cesar feeds off other people’s pain. He delights in the unhappiness and anguish of others and he loves nothing more than to plant the seed of misery and watch it grow. In Clara he has found the perfect target, and he will go to extreme lengths to make her life miserable. But Cesar is starting to get a bit too cocky, and soon his carefully thought out plans will start to unravel… Luckily for him, he has one last ace up his sleeve.
Filmax will release Sleep Tight in Spain this year with no US date announced.
