Cris W WTF did I just watch?! Hilarious! Tone is all over the place, they attempted to inject some exposition but this script defies explanation. All the actors are great, King shows up just briefly, can you spot him? Lol... Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/05/25 Full Review Bruce M Fun, laughably bizarre but certainly enjoyable, is worth seeing if only for the goddesses Alice Krige and Madchen Amick. Hasn't aged well, which adds to its charm. Steven King, Tobe Hooper, Joe Dante and John Landis have cameos. Better than "The Brutalist." Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/05/25 Full Review Nick O Despite the gross incest factor in this, Mick Garris manages to take a Stephen King story and make a pretty cool and unique little vampire flick that’s creepy and fun. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/02/25 Full Review Mike P Alice Krige and Brian Krause are like a couple of carnivorous THUNDERCATS here....I mean that's what they look like; weird cat-humanoid hybrids; or rejects from the movie CATS; who run around their small Indiana town terrorizing people...And who live by sucking the air from Virgins. They're Charles and Mary Brady; the Brady Bunch, if you will; that's if the Bradys were incestious-humanoid vampires. And Madchen Amick is Tanya Robertson, the plucky local virgin that has to fight them off; Buffy the Vampire Slayer Style. And this story from Stephen King is just too weird to work overall; just weird and all over the place. King is usually just an uber-genius...But even Babe Ruth strikes out once in a while, as the saying goes ..And THIS must have been conceived during his darkest AA days; because it's just TOO crazy... And it's too bad, because I think they were actually hitting on something with the whole contagiousness of sexual predation thing; colliding with all the terrors of adolescent courtship; and maybe an edgy resurrection of the old Cat People legend... I mean...there was potential, somewhere in there... I mean, but they really should have streamlined the plot a little bit; cut out the weird distracting details, and stuck to the heart of this dark idea... And the acting here is actually excellent. Both Krause, Krige and also Amick do fantastic work; given that they've been dealt a clunker of a script. But the special effects; the creature-feature set pieces and the story itself are all just epic fails. Just BAD...There's no other way to say it... I mean, this winds up being as bad as an old Lost in Space episode... Or a really stupid Mystery Science Theater 2000 episode. I mean, we're talking HORRIBLE!!... So...Thumbs way down on this clunker... It's worse than kitty litter... Or the stuff within... 👎 Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/11/24 Full Review Dan R 1992's 'Sleepwalkers', based on the work of Stephen King, is a film which desperately needs a remake as this film is so cringy in the modern world. SYNOPSIS: 'A mother-and-son team of strange supernatural creatures move to a small town to seek out a young virgin to feed on.' Films of this era will never be a good representation of King's work and 'Sleepwalkers' is an excellent example of this. It follows all of the writer's tropes in such a lazy fashion it's almost laughable. Cameo appearances by horror icons Clive Barker, Tobe Hooper, and the King himself add little to this slapstick attempt at a horror movie, whilst also bordering on incestious soft porn. It's not scary now, assuming it ever was, and is more camp than anything else. A typical 90's King adaptation. 4/10 Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/14/24 Full Review Howard H Interesting relationship between mother and son with an overly good looking cast which unfortunately blurs on the wrong side of erotica.
