Sleep Tight | Rotten Tomatoes (1) David Gritten Daily Telegraph (UK) Wildly malevolent, but shrewdly executed and creepily watchable. Rated: 3/5 Mar 1, 2013 Full Review Sleep Tight | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Derek Malcolm London Evening Standard It's eminently watchable, more than a little chilling and a league and a half better than most of its kind. Rated: 4/5 Mar 1, 2013 Full Review Sleep Tight | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Simon Crook Empire Magazine A creepy, neo-Hitchcock stalker drama, infused with uneasy twists and a slow-burning intensity. Check it out. Then check under your bed... Rated: 4/5 Feb 25, 2013 Full Review Sleep Tight | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Martín Rodríguez En Filme Both in cinema and life, humanity finds new ways to terrorize us. Balagueró plays with this idea in Sleep Tight and thrusts it into a quotidian situation... [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3.5/5 Feb 7, 2023 Full Review Sleep Tight | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Ed Travis Hollywood Jesus Sleep Tight is effective and thrilling as we long for Cesar to get caught, but simultaneously marvel at his craftiness. For many, home invasion tales are the most terrifying. This one ranks among the best. Apr 1, 2020 Full Review Sleep Tight | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com What begins as an incredibly creepy premise unfortunately dips one too many times in the ludicrous pot.

Diana S A disturbing and accurate, nuanced portrait of a malignant narcissist. There of course have been thrillers about malignant narcissists before, but this one is exceptional largely because it strictly stays in the protagonist's point of view instead of perfunctorily shifting to the other characters just to lessen tension or have broad appeal. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/29/24 Full Review Jerod S This concierge is creepy; sleeping under the bed and poisoning you until he can have what he wants. The plot isn't earth-shattering, but it's a great Spanish thriller. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/24 Full Review Chelsea T if the movies plot line and the main character's modus operandum weren't so repugnant, i'd like this movie a little more. its not a feel good flick but its clever and achieves all it sets out for. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Not a film I'll be revisiting as it achieved what it sets out to do: DISTURB & ANTAGONIZE THE VIEWER. A truly maddening tale of torment & hopelessness. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/03/22 Full Review Cave W Awesome movie - really twisted and inventive! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/09/21 Full Review Late R Unsettling, creepy and, in places, quite tense, ‘Sleep Tight's' greatest achievement is just how grimy-feeling and disgusted it leaves you which, truly, is a credit to both the writers and Luis Tosar's understated central performance. I will say that it requires more than a little suspension of disbelief, but ultimately, it's a disturbing film that does what it set out to do. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/26/20 Full Review Read all reviews
