    This is a true so-bad-it's-good movie. It's right up there with Death Race 2000 and Nine Songs (only joking, I think) as one of the great after-pub films. To its credit it doesn't try to be meaningful or intelligent, but concentrates on the more important business of killing off ...( read more)the characters (mainly the rural cops) in imaginative ways. There's a longer-than-usual cameo by Stephen King, and Clive Barker and Tobe Hooper also make appearances. The real heroes, though, are the cats. They are consistently more resourceful than the human characters and, unlike the cops, have mastered the important skill of entering and leaving buildings. The climax is a riot of silliness. Great fun!

    Being a fan of the horror genre, and Being a bigger fan of Stephen King, I actually own this movie on DVD. Purely because it is a Stephen King story, and I get all his movies on DVD. I watched it once, and it has remained on the self in my living room collecting dust.
    The girls ...( read more)at work were watching this behind the nurse's station today. I had to laugh, because it just reminded me of how awful the film really is.
    Sleepwalkers is the story of an incestuous mother and son demonic duo. Who lure virgins in, to prey on them. If you're thinking that sounds interesting, let me save you the brain cells, it is not.
    Sleepwalkers is full of horrid, inauspicious acting and a practically non existing plot. Not even Brian Krause could save this fondue pot of moldy cheese, and I am a Charmed fan.
    Stephen King is a truly brilliant author with a vivid imagination and fantastic detail rich stories. His dramas are always epic, when they hit the big screen. However, as this movie proves, his horror stories can be in the bullseye or one hundred and fifty feet below the target!
    This movie's one redeeming feature for me, is that the creepy couple dance to Santo and Johnny's Sleepwalk, a time or two. I love that song, it's the ultimate slow dance song.

    Nice atmosphere, gorgeous females in the form of Mädchen "Twin Peaks" Amick and Alice "First Contact" Krige, but a very thin script.

    Yet another half-arsed Stephen King adaptation, this time scripted by King himself so he has no-one else to blame. Despite the presence of the lovely Madchen Amick, it's nonsensical, cheesy and just plain awful.

    Hell hath no fury like a woman's corn! No vegetables, no dessert - that's the rules.

    The plot was great, the acting was average and the gore was very limited. This movie had some great thrills to it, even though it was mostly a predictably enjoyable movie, the characters had twisted lives and chemistry. I especially thought the mother-son relasionships were well ...( read more)made, and that teacher... that was obvious to me, but still creepy. (LOOK FOR THE ENGLISH TEACHER)

    I remember seeing this movie as a kid and knowing it was extremely fucked up. I just watched it again tonight for the first time in many years, and yep. It's still fucked up. Mother and son cat people incest? Unbelievable. I loved the movie. Something is seriously wrong with me.

    Probably one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I'd rather watch Saw III 10 times in a row than sit through this again.

    Well this wasnt the best movie by Stephen King, but since Brian Krause is in it I would watch it again.
