OP is awesome. Great work.
Just caught
Sleepwalkers (1992) on cable, for no other reason than because my favorite part of Twin Peaks (Mädchen Amick) was in it. I never read the Stephen King book it was based on, but I'm tempted to now just to get the bad taste of the movie out of my mouth. Terrible special effects (even for '92), bad acting, and an incredibly weak script all combine to make this a thoroughly unpleasant watch. Not even my fair Mädchen could save this wreck. We are given hints of an interesting movie when we notice that cats can sense the sleepwalkers, and are shown glimpses of the sleewalkers' supernatural physical abilities. Unfortunately these fleeting tidbits are coupled with no information on the sleepwalkers, no greater story than "They move from town to town to feed on people", and only two sleepwalkers for the entire movie. Which wouldn't be a problem if there were interesting characters for them to interact with or something else going on besides waiting to see how the main (read: only) plot unfolds. The town is just completely devoid of interesting people (save the Sheriff), and nothing even happens to them. I have to imagine the book had some hook or element in the story that made it interesting, but it seems to have been completely excised in the transition to the screen. The lame attempts at humor fall flat, King's cameo is bad even for him, and ultimately it ends up as a C-Movie at best. Shame, because Mädchen was as lovely as ever.
*swoooooooon*
