<I>Stephen King's Sleepwalkers</I> is about a half-human, half-cat race of shape shifters called, for no apparent reason, sleepwalkers. Hunky Charles Brady (Brian Krause) and his incestuous mother (Alice Krige) are sleepwalkers, and they've come to the small town of Travis, Indiana, where they've somehow acquired a nice house and false identities. They need virgin souls to survive and have fixated on local beauty Tanya (Madchen Amick from <I>Twin Peaks</I>). That's about it for the story--from then on it's a series of chase scenes full of badly done gore. King must have been sleepwalking himself when he wrote this screenplay--the dialogue is terrible, the characters are cardboard, and the plotting is clumsy. Combine that with mediocre acting, thoughtless direction, slapdash editing, and cheesy special effects, and you have <I>Sleepwalkers</I>. Amick comes off reasonably well and there are cameos by King, Clive Barker, and horror directors John Landis (<I>An American Werewolf in London</I>), Joe Dante (<I>Gremlins</I>), and Tobe Hooper (<I>The Texas Chainsaw Massacre</I>). But really, if you're interested in were-cats, see the original <I>The Cat People</I>, starring Simone Simon; it's both sexier and scarier. <I>--Bret Fetzer</I>
Viewer Reviews
Even Stephen King has to have a few B flicks in his catalog and this cetainly fits the bill. It is a fun and quick way to pass 90 minutes if you want mindless monsters and cats galore.
