[Interview] Director Jaume Balagueró On Crafting The Suspense Of ‘Sleep Tight’ And The “Harder Horror” Of ‘[REC] 4′!!

Director Jaume Balagueró ([Rec] and [Rec] 2) switches gears a bit with his creepy new film Sleep Tight. The film was written by Alberto Marini (Films to Keep You Awake: To Let) and inhabits a much different tonal space than the [REC] films.

To that end I recently shot Balagueró a few questions via email. We touched on the change of pace this film represents, working with 700 live cockroaches and what to expect from his next directorial effort, [REC] 4: Apocalypse

IN the film “Toiling silently among the residents of an everyday Barcelona apartment building, doorman César (Luis Tosar, Even the Rain, Miami Vice) harbors a dark secret: his sole desire in life is to make others unhappy. When he sets his sights on Clara (Marta Etura, Cell 211, Dark Blue Almost Black), one of his building’s cheeriest residents, his sick need blossoms into a full-fledged obsession.Sleep Tight was nominated for more than 20 awards in Spain and won six Gaudi Awards, including Best Director, Best Actor for Luis Tosar and Best Screenplay.

Sleep Tight comes to Blu-ray and DVD from Dark Sky Films and MPI Media Group tomorrow, January 8, 2013. Head inside for the interview! READ MORE

Sony Dates ‘REC 3: Genesis’ For Home Video (Still No Blu-ray)

Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has announced a DVD release of REC 3: Genesis for November 6th. Retail will be around $22.99. The only extra material will be deleted scenes, and outtakes, reports DVD Active. Sony sucks for not releasing any of these on Blu-ray.

Clara and Koldo’s wedding unfolds through the lens of a video camera that captures their beautiful ceremony and the festive reception that follows. But the camera also bears unblinking witness to the shocking reality of chaos and horror that ensues after a virus spreads through the reception, transforming the wedding guests into something inhuman, and forcing the newlywed couple into a terrifying fight for their lives. Separated amid the mayhem, the newlywed couple discover the true meaning of the vow, ’til death do us part.

We were not huge fans out of the SXSW Film Festival. READ MORE
