Grimm Up North; Citadel / Sleep Tight

Citadel: The dilapidated suburbia of Edenstown casts a shadow over Tommy Cowley’s life. Trapped there by his agoraphobia since his wife was fatally attacked by twisted feral children, he now finds himself terrorized by the same mysterious hooded gang, who seem intent on taking his baby daughter. Torn between the help of an understanding nurse and a vigilante priest, he discovers that to be free of his fears, he must finally face the demons of his past and enter the one place that he fears the most…the abandoned tower block known as the ‘CITADEL’. Making strong use of its dark, dank urban locations, this critically acclaimed, chokingly claustrophobic psychological horror film brings a whole new meaning to the term “feral youth”.

Sleep Tight: Apartment concierge Cesar is a bitter, hateful man who believes he was born without the ability to be happy. As a result, he makes it his mission to make life hell for everyone around him. Most tenants are easy to agitate, but Clara (Marta Etura) proves to be more of a challenge. So Cesar goes to increasingly disturbing extremes to push her towards a breakdown… The latest thriller from Spanish maestro Jaume Balaguero (NAMELESS, [REC]), this bone-chilling study in misanthropy and manipulation takes the terrors of home invasion and psychological assault to their very darkest place, and features a truly terrifying performance from CELL 211’s Luis Tosar as Cesar.
