Reviews
Borgarkeri A bit overrated, but still an amazing film
SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Sanjeev Waters A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
linda 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.
burchfieldbree It's not so much that it's bad as it is really disturbing. The acting is fine, but who wrote this?? A real psycho? What's with the 93% on Rotten Tomatoes...? From who...? Ted Bundy and Charles Manson? Good lord.I like psychological thrillers, but I would not recommend this one? Sleep tight? More like Creep Tight.
thesar-2 And the Lifetime Achievement of the Most Creepiest Stalker Award goes to…It's so odd ever siding with a monster, but we occasionally do it, anyways. Who couldn't like Hannibal Lecter? Charming, smart, interested in…you. One of the craftiest ways of showing humanity to a savage is showing their normal, personal life with interactions, pleasantries and reasons behind their mask.Sleep Tight does it beautifully here. One moment you're seeing a friendly albeit depressed to the brink of suicide individual and the next, well, you won't believe your eyes on what this man does. Pure evil. Disgustingly horrific stuff. And, then, back to being the meek apartment concierge that's kinda likable, despite his Mr. Hyde.Said concierge, César, is madly obsessed (to put it lightly) with one of the tenants, "Miss Clara," who could also double as "Mrs. Rogers." Oh, sorry, old reference. She's so happy and positive, she's the anti-César. Night after night, César makes sure their relationship is closer than most people ever experience…yet, all the while, this is unbeknownst to Clara.This is a horror movie with a small amount of blood. Well, I bet someone in this movie might disagree, but my point is: the lack of gore here is replaced by unthinkable and revolting actions. Wonderfully acted all-around, increased suspense to the end and scary for how this couldn't just happen in real life, it may just be true… somewhere. I've seen creepy-stalker films before, but I haven't seen anything like this. So, live in an apartment building with a concierge? Sleep tight…***Final thoughts: Suicide is never the answer, but damn, was it hard not to root for this man to fulfill his desire.
runamokprods 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
