| Chicago TribuneDave KehrWhile Sleepwalkers fails spectacularly as a horror movie, it triumphs as a loopy camp comedy. Sleepwalkers gets crazier and crazier as it proceeds, which is saying something, as it starts out batshit insane. |

| The New York TimesStephen HoldenThe movie is filled with felines. It seems that the only things that Sleepwalkers fear are cats, which would like to tear them to pieces. That's why the Brady front yard teems with them. They are waiting for a denouement that, when it arrives, is anticlimactic. |
| EmpireAngie ErrigoSleepwalkers, Steven King's first original screenplay, is horror filmmaking by numbers. It has monster fiends, a few swooshing tracking shots, many a touch lifted from every self-respecting vampire movie ever made, and several weak but intentional laughs to indicate that no one here is taking the thing too seriously. |
| Washington PostRichard HarringtonSleepwalkers is badly plotted and unimaginatively conceived, though not without a number of seat-squirming scenes. |
| Austin ChronicleMarc SavlovFrom the creature FX to the stilted dialogue, Sleepwalkers offers nothing new for horror fans to sink their collective fangs into. |
| Miami HeraldRene RodriguezSTEPHEN KING'S SLEEPWALKERS is an unusually stupid and tedious film that seems aimed at viewers who have never seen a horror movie and will therefore be shocked and surprised by the idea that such apparently nice people as Mary and Charles Brady could be murderous, shape-shifting energy vampires. |
| USA TodaySusan WloszczynaMorbid, silly and ultra-violent, Stephen King's Sleepwalkers is pure trash from the popular horrormeister. It is so bad that surely the only way that it could have been made was to have King's name on it. |
| Georgia StraightSteve NewtonCameo appearances by horror icons Clive Barker, Tobe Hooper, and the King himself add little to this slapstick gorefest, which focuses on goofy bloodletting-including death by corn-on-the-cob-and tosses in a modicum of thrills and chuckles. |
| Hartford CourantMalcolm JohnsonAs it sleepwalks towards its ungrand finale, the new King invention falls back on familiar things. |
