Hell to the King Pt. 19: ‘Sleepwalkers’ (1992) — Cinesthesia

Day 19 features a loose definition of sleepwalkers and awkward cat-people

Jason subjects his father, Jem, to watch a Stephen King film that’s barely a movie — that ends up being so much movie — and guest on Hell to the King. Sleepwalkers marks the point where Stephen King films become a gimmick factory and also the first King film to be written exclusively for the silver screen. Cat people, vampire-energy beasts with shape-shifting abilities and a very unclear interpretation of what a sleepwalker can be power the film.

Join a filmmaker (and sometimes film teacher) and a film teacher (and sometimes filmmaker) as they venture into the dark heart of their own befuddled relationship to culture, the youth, the internet, friendship, love, hate, time, space and, of course: *m*o*v*i*e*s*. Come hear what we see.
