If you’re currently in Spain, you’ll be lucky to soon experience the newest film from [REC] co-creator Jaume Balaguero, SLEEP TIGHT. The psychological thriller, about a most insidious doorman, opens smack in the middle of October, and we’ve got a new TV spot to share with you promoting the flick. Word out of Fantastic Fest, where it had a screening recently, is that it’s a very solid flick, so let’s get it an international release soon; what do you say, Filmax?
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 King is a happy-go-lucky young woman who always looks on the positive side of things. Her cheery attitude toward life makes Cesar’s 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.
