[REC] Director Jaume Balaguero Presents A Tale Of Obsession In SLEEP TIGHT

[Updated with English subtitled teaser]

Before launching into the prequel / sequel duo for hit horror series [REC] co-director Jaume Balaguero took a step back from the world of first-person perspective zombies and from his partner in those films, Paco Plaza, to create a little something different on his own.

Titled Mientras Duermes in Spanish, or Sleep Tight in English, the picture stars Luis Tosar and Marta Etura in a story of obsession.

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 is a happy-go-lucky young woman, who always looks on the positive side of things. Her cheery attitude to life makes Cesar' 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.

The first teaser for this one has just arrived and it is handsome, atmospheric work of the highest order. Check it below.
