i have nothing against a fast paced fright flick and but this stephen king derive nonsense be too freshly scrubbed and too bright and modern . the plot and about a new teenage boy in a small town who be a sleepwalker sort of a cross between a vampire and a werewolf and who feed on the blood of female virgin and begs for a more mysterious and ambiguous treatment . this thriller be give an inappropriately colorful look and feel and with hardly any atmosphere . the kid be predictably pretty and energetic and but the big plus be alice kridge a the boy mother while kridge and from ghost story and never break out of the filler female mold and and it a huge loss that she hasn not be use more . her performance be creepy and intense and and give hint that sleepwalker might have be a much well film with a different focus and tight direction . it too over the top and commercially drive and with an uneven tone that swing wildly from thriller to comedy to drama . stephen king pop up in a cameo and a do real life director john landis and tobe hooper . half from .
