Sleepwalkers [Blu-ray]

Overview

Only Stephen King, the dark genius behind Misery, The Shining and Pet Semetary, could have written Stephen King's SLEEPWALKERS, a classic horror story that takes a perfect Norman Rockwell town and turns it inside out. Brian Krause and Alice Krige star in this terrifying tale of modern-day vampires who prey on virtuous young women. Madchen Amick is the sexually curious virgin who falls for the new boy in school (Brian Krause), only to learn too late that he's a life-sucking Sleepwalker. Mutatingat will from golden boy to savage monster, Krause stalks Amick to feed his seductive mother. As thetension mounts (and the casualties pile up), the town's tabbies gather for a final, chilling showdown with the monsters in their midst - and we all know it's not nice to hurt people's felines... With cameo appearances by Stephen King and Clive Barker.

Editorial Reviews

Although Stephen King himself wrote the screenplay for this horror exercise, Sleepwalkers is no better or worse than the many quickie adaptations that have been produced without the author's direct input. It's merely an adequate outing full of cool ideas whose execution lacks enough atmosphere or true psychological insight to frighten or even unsettle most audiences. Likable Twin Peaks vet Madchen Amick seems wasted as the good-girl protagonist; Alice Krige is far more alluring as the matriarchal vampire whose feline sensuality sets up all sorts of intriguing Oedipal conflicts with her son. Unfortunately, director Mick Garris doesn't milk such subtext as much as he should. He seems more interested in showing us his titular shape-shifters turning things invisible and slipping into Beauty and the Beast drag. Still, for all its quotidian special effects and familiar thrills, Sleepwalkers is fairly entertaining. A bit of campy humor and a few celebrity cameos give it just enough genial charm to tip the scales in favor of watchability.
