Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
"Sleep Tight" makes a sounder case for nocturnal Webcams than the "Paranormal Activity" franchise ever could.
A nifty little thriller that dances on the boundary between plausible and preposterous.
Mr. Balaguero is so overtaken by his villain that he becomes like Cesar, displaying an eagerness to play the role of tormentor, which kills both the movie's pleasure and its flickering political subtext.
This is a crime story with little to no interest in the who or the why, but only the what and the how. It's a reverse-procedural, tracking not the solution of a crime, but all of its awful particulars.
