"SLEEPWALKERS"

Stephen King really outdid himself with this one. Those of you who haven't seen "Sleepwalkers" are probably wondering what its about. Well basically you have a mother/son somewhat incestuous team of modern vampires that look like cats who move to a new town to prey on the blood of virgin's for their life force. Also the young "vampire" can turn himself and his cool car invisible, but they are afraid of common house cats. If you aren't mildly interested yet, then I'm not sure what to say to you...

Besides the ridiculous plot, there are some interesting cameos for horror movie nerds to take note of. Stephen King, Ron Perlman, Clive Barker, and Joe Dante all show up at some point in this movie. Another technical note you may find valuable is that it is one of the first films to use the morphing technique with its visual effects. Also, for some reason Enya is on the soundtrack. "Sleepwalkers" is definitely one of the strangest horror movies of the 90s, and your ticket to bad fun. I don't think this film takes itself too seriously, and you shouldn't either.
