Short Horror Film: Sleep Tight

 Remember the phrase "sleep tight don't let the bedbugs bite"?

Well, here comes a horror short film about how careful you should be about these metaphorical bedbugs.

In this short movie, you can see a young man who is confined to a wheelchair about to go to sleep. He wants independence, his father finds it hard to let go. The pair rib each other about their personal tastes when the son decides to go to bed, and the father is about to switch off the lights when the son tells him to leave the lights on. The father blames the horror movies and then leaves.

The son is still paranoid as he checks about the whole room in the dark before going off to bed. And that's when the "bedbug" shows up. In this case, it is a horrific monster woman who straddles the son and gets ready for the kill.

Luckily the father shows up only to misunderstand the whole situation. Was it really too dark that the father couldn't see the woman's face or has he decided to be supportive of all of his son's choices?

The best part of the movie has got to be the SLENDERMAN 2 poster. Imagine Tom Hanks, Rupert Grint and Queen Latifah star in a horror movie. How great would that be? If only it was real...
