<\/a>\nWhen it comes to the meat of story, \u201cSleep Tight\u201d (originally titled \u201cMientras Duermes\u201d) has a lot in common with the paranoia-inducing junk you frequently find in the Lifetime Movie of the Week. Here we have the attractive Clara (Marta Etura) who lives alone in an expansive apartment building located in beautiful Barcelona (I\u2019ve never been but I\u2019ve read). She is currently estranged from her handsome boyfriend. While she still keeps a picture of him at her bedside the two haven\u2019t spoken to each other for weeks. She\u2019s a happy-go-happy girl, though, and despite the relationship drama, she lights up any room she walks into. <\/strong><\/p>\n
But there is something sinister that goes on in Clara\u2019s apartment while she sleeps at night. The building\u2019s doorman, Cesar (Luis Tosar), creeps into her quite room and doses her with chloroform to ensure his \u201cwork\u201d will not be disturbed. Not very smooth but just a glance at Cesar and you can guess that he has issue speaking with women. Or with anyone for that matter. As she sleeps Cesar violates our poor Clara, (but nothing too graphic, if that\u2019s a worry) as Cesar\u2019s sole purpose in life is to make others unhappy. Sleep-rape is a definite way to bum someone out no doubt. Director Jaume Balaguer\u00f3 is best known for his frantic horror films \u201c[Rec]\u201d and \u201c[Rec] 2\u201d. The first film in the series was remade here in the States as \u201cQuarantine\u201d and remains one of the best examples of the Found Footage genre. Where that film was a Post Modern gem, \u201cSleep Tight\u201d is very traditional in its pacing and tension. This is a complete turnaround from screaming-mad zombies chasing a camera through the halls of a condemned building. \u201cSleep Tight\u201d takes it\u2019s time, almost bogging down in the front of the film, but catches fire about an hour in and never lets up.<\/p>\n Special Features are slim: Sleep Tight is Available on Blu-ray and DVD from Dark Sky Films on January 8, 2013 Since \u201cSleep Tight\u201d is a Spanish language movie I will write the following review in English subtitles.

\nWhat separates \u201cSleep Tight\u201d from the Lifetime formula is that the entire story unfolds from the perspective of the villain. We sneak and scam along with Cesar and, miraculously, you might even find yourself holding your breath as Cesar tries to flee from the apartment while Clara entertains a guest in the shower. Why? Because Cesar is terrific baddie, making the film worth a look.<\/p>\n
