Plot Summary

Charles Brady(Brian Krause) and his mother (Alice Krige) aren't your average American family. They are the SLEEPWALKERS, nomadic shape-shifting creatures with human and feline origins. Vulnerable only to the scratch of a cat, they thrive on the life-force of virginal female flesh...

Master of the unimaginable, Stephen King (Pet Semetary, Misery) creates a new force in fear as high school student Tanya Robertson (Mädchen Amick) takes on the terror of the blood-sucking creatures as they unleash an horrific campaign of murder and mutilation in their deadly quest for flesh.

They feast on your fear --- and it's dinner time!
