Spanish film director known for contemporary horror films, including Fragile (2005) and Mientras duermes (2011).

Fragile was presented out of competition at the Venice Biennale (as noted in reviews). Balagueró is publicly known for directing modern Spanish horror and for the widely known film [REC] (2007), which he co-directed.

DeBaser reviews praise Balagueró's skill at atmosphere and mounting tension. Fragile is noted for its effective monster design and sound/set work; Bed Time (Mientras duermes) is praised as claustrophobic, unsettling and impeccably crafted. Overall the reviews are strongly positive.

For:Fans of horror and thriller cinema; Spanish cinema enthusiasts.

 so far, "Fragile" is the only film that has scared me simply at the sight of the monster, which is very important for a film of this type.
