When newcomers Charles (Brian Krause) and his mother, Mary (Alice Krige), settle into town, the local residents do not suspect that they're shape-shifters looking to feed on the town's virgin girls. Charles quickly befriends innocent and chaste Tanya (Madchen Amick) when he begins attending high school, hoping to take her life force in order to feed his mother. When Tanya agrees to a first date with Charles, she may learn his true intentions the hard way.

4/5

A nicely scary little thriller and one of the better adaptations of King's work.

There are some reasonable special effects and "hot" scenes, but it's mostly pretty stupid.

3/5

Wildly campy and often ridiculous, this horror oddity plays less like a scary movie and more like a grotesque cult curiosity.

Sleepwalkers has one big thing in its favour, namely that it is so much damn fun!

3/5

A suitably bloody romp about oedipally incestuous werecats who thrive on virginal energy and a smart, sensitive and stealthy satire of groups like the Moral Majority -who were as prolific and profitable in the 1980s as Stephen King himself.

There's ultimately not a whole lot within Stephen King's Sleepwalkers to get wholeheartedly (or even partially) excited about...

This movie is so horrible it's just entertaining that's honestly all I can say about it

One of those horror movies that was bad to begin with, and it only got worse with time. However! As an ironic comedy it's freaking gold.

Absolutely dire with the odd redeeming moment. I can't believe Stephen King wrote this rubbish and even appeared in it. Stupid and predictable and a Twin Peaks rip off which immediately preceded it. Barely any fun and a waste of an hour and a half.

Not to follow in the tracks of the Nostalgia Critic because I saw the film before watching his review. But this film is hilarious and classic Stephen king.

Taking out the dull moments, this is kind of a guilty pleasure Stephen King movie.
