" When newcomers Charles and his mother, Mary, 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 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. Notably, the first Stephen King movie to be excessively made for theatres and wr"

“Don't get me wrong I do like Stephen King a lot, his writing is growing on me all the time, and I do like a vast majority of the adaptations based off his work. Sleepwalkers, alongside TommyKnockers and Thinner is one of the worst King adaptations for me.

Although most of the effects are corny, some of the transformation sequences are surprisingly neat and some of the cameos from King himself, Clive Barker and John Landis are fun to spot, even if they pointlessly come and go.

On the other hand, that's it. The film starts off shaky with a daft prologue and right up to the equally daft ending it never recovers.
