Charles and his mother seem like nice people, but they are really incestuous, soul-sucking, feline monsters whose natural enemies are...drum roll please...ordinary house cats.

Andrew, I do have a dog that is named Torgo.  He seems to be less a hell-hound and more a mooch.

If he limps, then that sounds like the perfect canine Torgo.

I unfortunately saw this piece of cinematic crap in theaters when it originally came out.  The part where they're literally flinging fake cats at him still cracks me up to this day.

I saw it on Cinemax, the corn stabbing scene is classic.

Well, it can be said that the film did try to create some new monster lore. Too bad it was all pretty stupid. Wasn't sexy incest Mom the sexy ghost in Ghost Story?

I remember this movie, it sure is 1 of those so bad-its good types of movies. However, Madchen Amick as Tanya was so adorable (DREAM LOVER is her best movie).
Poor Ron Perlmen must have needed a quick paycheck when he starred in this one.   :teddyr:

The first time I saw that I hurt myself laughing.  Death by corn-on-the-cob.

They should have followed the nihilistic story of the sleepwalkers.  The part that was hinted at when Charles and Mary have the worried discussion about her needing to eat, and that they haven't seen another sleepwalker in a long time.

That is indeed her:

Slow motion analysis CLEARLY reveals the crew member's hands 'helping' the 'cat' to jump on the guy. Which begs the question: has anybody ever seen a realistic 'pet attack' in any film, ever ?

Psycho Circus

I hate this film, my ex had it on VHS and made me watch it about 4 or 5 times. Utter rubbish with really bad effects.

As a huge Stephen King fan, after watching this film I hid my cats eyes in shame, I was in Misery, and had Insomnia.

Not a shining example of his art! Cujo suggest what the main problem was!
There are few things more beautiful than a sporting montage with a soft-rock soundtrack

You missed Mark Hamill's cameo.

You must not have read the first two paragraphs of the review.  This is the first:

Quote
The film starts in a rather disorienting manner. Part of this is that the first time you see the movie you might assume the beginning sets up the rest of the story to be told as a flashback. That is not the case. The primary reason that the opening of "Sleepwalkers" bewilders viewers is that it features Mark Hamill with a thick moustache, and he is trying to thread his way through a suspended forest of mutilated cat carcasses.
