Sleep Tight (2011)
7/10
Sickening, but you just can't look away
21 October 2019
All it takes is one bad day to reduce the happiest person alive to despair, and Sleep Tight's dastardly villain is determined that anyone can be broken with a little patient planning. With all his plan's successes and failures, it manages to suck the viewer in, somehow forcing me to root for him and be disgusted by his vile deeds at the same time, even making my heart pound uncontrollably in sympathy with him as his plans start to go awry. Demanding sympathy for a monster is no easy feat, and full credit belongs with the screenwriter and the director's flawless execution. A few scenes seemed unrealistic, so it's not perfectly written, but it's certainly a thriller that I won't soon forget.
