At long last, here’s a teaser for Mientras Duermes aka SLEEP TIGHT, the solo effort from [REC] and [REC]2 co-director Jaume Balaguero. (Not his first time at it alone; he directed the Anna Paquin film DARKNESS as well as FRAGILE) This one looks quite creepy, so don’t hesitate to watch the video below…
SLEEP TIGHT focuses on Marcos, who 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 to life makes Marcos’s skin crawl.
He won’t be happy until he has wiped that smile of her face once and for all, because Marcos 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 Marcos 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.
Sounds like nasty business, doesn’t it? SLEEP TIGHT stars Luis Tosar, Marta Etura (below), Alberto San Juan, Petra Martinez, Carlos Lasarte, Pep Tosar, Amparo Fernandez and Iris Almeida. There’s still no release date set.
