This is a crime story with little to no interest in the who or the why, but only the what and the how. It's a reverse-procedural, tracking not the solution of a crime, but all of its awful particulars.

Sleep Tight is a nifty little thriller that dances on the boundary between plausible and preposterous.

This is a brilliant movie! OK, so the main protagonist is a creep, but so what? We need more movies like this. I was enthralled all the way through it, and loved all the twists and turns and even the final resolution. Bravo!

Una joya del cine español. Una película escalofriante y muy conseguida, con Luis Tosar en uno de sus mejores papeles. Esta es una gran película de suspense, con un final genial. Muy recomendable.

Sleep Tight, first of all, is a nifty new Euro-horror film, with several wicked-cold Hitchcockian twists, that shows off the range and craft of terrific Spanish director Jaume Balagueró, co-founder of the "[Rec]" franchise (still the gold standard in found-footage horror).

Sleep Tight is a creepy - but highly effective and superbly made - horror movie from Spain in which the monster is spine-tinglingly human.

The states get higher with every breadcrumb Luis Tosar's creep lays down, and the film derives sometimes remarkable corkscrew tension from watching him being backed into a corner.

A great many New Yorkers are rightfully indebted to doormen, but Jaume Balagueró's nasty little thriller offers a decidedly darker perspective.

There's a Polanskian black comedy buried in here somewhere; a sassy neighbor girl who knows too much hints at the right direction, which is never fully explored.

I love this movie. It has a very interesting story and main character is so sick and intelligent in the same time, and it's really amusing to watch what all he has got on his mind.

Sleep Tight is a lean and tight thriller. Not a horror movie in the strictest sense, more **** 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?).

A terrible and no-sense movie. There is bare action, one setting, 0% horror and 3% thriller and 0 scare. Grossly and typically a really bad movie. Definetly a 0.
