Because of this movie that special song the boy likes has always made me nauseated.

14:45 When I was 6 I walked into the living room while my grandfather and much older cousins were watching this on tv, so it must have been in about 1999-2000. It was right at they scene where the sheriff gets stabbed in the ear, which freaked me out and has stuck with me as a particularly awful way to die, I still hate when someone gets killed that way in movies. So I'd definitely agree that it's upsetting lol

It's rats. Don't buy the propaganda. Everything that happens here is being coordinated by vermin

in all fairness, that teacher was perving on charles. in exchange for him not ratting out the fake transcripts

I saw this as a kid (why? Idk). Creepy due to the scary faces and incest

16:41 toxoplasmosis!
Also
You being a cat owner… i’m sure you’re aware of the way cat scratches, itch, and burn a bit
And have heard of cat scratch fever
The sleepwalkers get that times 100.
Why do the cats hate them?
Same reason dogs hate werewolves …

"It's all so baffling, it's like a horror m movie cocktail with random tropes thrown in it and pureed." So… a Stephen King story, then.

Tanya’s parents are the actors who played the parents of Ferris Bueller! Ha!

This movie should've ended with Tanya becoming a sleepwalker Hunter with Clovis as her animal companion

So in some cities they actually don't take stray cats to a shelter at all they sterilize and release them so they will keep the rodent population down without the feral cat population exploding

I love how out of the realm stephen king gets so i love the movie sleepwalkers so I tried to look up the audiobook so I could find out more details about the sleepwalkers culture Ect. Then realized it was only a movie so no deep dive into it but I hope their is a part 2 or something 💜💚❤️💙💛
@fakeyname6888

Or maybe it's because Steven King doesn't usually do screenplays and struggled with the difference like the difference between a YouTube play through and a Shakespearean actor.
@fakeyname6888
August 31, 2026 at 10:55 pm
Here's the thing: Steven King did go through a cocaine phase. Maybe this was written during that???

For the most cerebral and grandiloquent pervert born this last century, I was not expecting Clive Barker to look like an uncredited extra from Office Space.

Disappointing that it isn't about evil cats, but if I wanted that, I'd watch the 1991 Made-For-TV film Strays.

You mentioned the Enya song!
I just found that song by accident on Spotify a couple of months ago and was happy since I haven't heard it since I saw this movie years ago.

Is Dimming the opposite of Shining?

What niggles me a bit is that Charles did develop loving feelings for Tanya, but then just goes all Teenage Pennywise Krueger as he gets desperate and tries to kill her.

Based on the thumbnail, I thought we'd be riffing on Thinner.

Madchen Amick is good. Alice Krige is great. But the movie stinks.
If Shawshank is any indication, the best Stephen King movies come from books where he had no thoughts about a film, are shot by directors with vision, and King himself has little to no direct involvement.
See Also: The Shining.

Alice Krige (Mary) knew exactly what kind of movie she was in.

Just noticed at Stephen King's character is talking to a Clive Barker!

Still a better love story than Twilight. If you think about it…I wish I hadn't thought about it.

Thanks Roses. I can't "cat in peril" so I appreciate the heads up. I'll go rewatch one of your X-Files videos a few times to make up for skipping this one.

Yeah I never understood why they hated and were afraid of cats but they themselves are cats😂 Just weird.
@limlaith
August 31, 2026 at 10:55 pm
I would love it if Roses did more of these videos. Not the same, typical type of bad movie or B-movie reviews, but long form reviews of the wildly quirky, inexplicable even to fans, there's-almost-no-defense-of-this-trash movies that got actual studio releases.

Tobe Hooper and Clive Barker were also in the scene with Stephen King.
@ZombicidalMadMom81

Have you done the Maximum Overdrive movie by Stephen King? Id love to hear your thoughts on that
@ZombicidalMadMom81

I never understood why a human/feline hybrid would have a fatal reaction from a feline scratch. Shouldn’t it die from human scratches too?
@NeonDruid13
August 31, 2026 at 10:55 pm
Im not sure if anyone mentioned this but during the King cameo we also get Tobe Hooper and Clive Barker

The dead cats WERE REAL DEAD CATS!!! The cat corpses were donated by a local shelter. Holy crap.

That's the girliest name ever!
