Stephen King wrote his first original screenplay for this horror gore fest that features cameos by directors Clive Barker, Joe Dante, Tobe Hooper, John Landis, and King himself (playing a cemetery attendant). The story concerns a twilight people named "sleepwalkers" –creatures similar to vampires and werewolves whose faces turn animalistic whenever they are frightened or angry and who require the lifeforce of a virgin to survive. A single-parent sleepwalker family, consisting of Mary Brady (Alice Krige) and her son Charles (Brian Krause), have taken up residence in a small Indiana town. Charles has expressed a romantic interest in the attractive Tanya Robertson (Madchen Amick), a girl in his high school literature class. Mary wants Charles to lure Tanya home so that she can suck out her life force, but it appears that Charles has fallen in love with her –that is, until their first date, at a picnic at the cemetery. There Charles changes from a shy romantic suitor into a brutal and violent force, slapping Tanya around and attempting to rape her. But Tanya wards off his advances by plunging a corkscrew into his torso. Charles staggers back home to mother, where she nurses him back to health. Then Charles and his mother seek vengeance upon the Robertson family.

IMDB



this Stephen King adaptation was entertaining but not great,by any means. it's worthwhile to pass time. it's probably as weird as any of the King adaptation i have,and even weirder than others. this movie sort of felt like a fairy tale to me.although not a kid's fable,obviously. i did like the cast,many of whom have gone on to other things, since then.Brian Krause also appeared in the TV show Charmed, Madchen Amick (who could be Kim Delaney's twin sister) has been in several smaller budget pictures.Alice Krige was seen most notably as the Borg Queen in Star Trek: First Contact, while Ron Perlman was previously seen in The TV series beauty and the Beast.his most notable role (In my opinion) was in Hellboy as the title character.like in most King movies, king himself appears in a cameo. at least three other modern horror masters (Jon Landis, Joe Dante, and Clive Barker) also have cameos. anyway if you wanna pass 90 minutes or so, i'd say this movie is worth it. for me, Sleepwalkers is a 6/10
