Sleep Tight – A modern horror tale
"From the edge of a forest, the werewolf steps into the moonlight;
in front of him lies a small settlement by a forest lake."
This sentence comes from an early version of our script. A lot happened from there to the final film. The old-fashioned settlement became a big city, the forest lake became a hill with modern flats and the werewolf became a werewolf. "Sleep Tight" is a homage to the horror films of days gone by, but at the same time it also breaks with convention. Our aim was to capture this dichotomy visually.
In this visual effects breakdown, a polar bear becomes a boy's best friend.
