Stephen King's Sleepwalkers 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 Twin Peaks). 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 Sleepwalkers. Amick comes off reasonably well and there are cameos by King, Clive Barker, and horror directors John Landis (An American Werewolf in London), Joe Dante (Gremlins), and Tobe Hooper (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre). But really, if you're interested in were-cats, see the original Cat People, starring Simone Simon; it's both sexier and scarier. --Bret Fetzer, Amazon.com [show more]

When the virginal Tanya Robertson (Mädchen Amick) visits the house of new-boy-in-town Charles Brady (Brian Krause) she is confused by the strange relationship he seems to have with his mother (Alice Krige). Maybe things would be clearer if she knew that the Bradys were in fact sleepwalkers: shape-shifting vampires with a taste for the blood of virgins.
Please note this is a region 2 DVD and will require a region 2 (Europe) or region Free DVD Player in order to play. Charles Brady and his mother Mary aren't your average American family. They are Sleepwalkers, nomadic shape-shifting creatures with human and feline origins. Vulnerable only to the scratch of a cat, they thrive on the life-force of virginal flesh... And now's the time to eat... Master of the unimaginable, Stephen King creates a new force in fear as high school student Tanya Robertson takes on the terror of the blood-sucking creatures as they unleash an horrific campaign of murder and mutilation in their deadly quest for flesh.
