Overview

Charles Brady and his mother, Mary, are the last of a dying breed whose needs are not of this world. They are Sleepwalkers - able to stay alive only by feeding on the life-force of the innocent, but destined to roam the earth, avoiding discovery while searching for their next victim. That search takes them to the sleepy little town of Travis, Indiana, where beautiful teenager Tanya Robertson is about to become an unwilling pawn in their nightmarish fight for survival.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A pulpy creature-feature that leans hard into transgressive family horror and supernatural predation, driven by the grotesque intimacy between its monstrous protagonists. It's King's exercise in pure exploitation wrapped in shapeshifter mythology.
