Sleepwalkers (1992)
[+]
(Foreign Titles)
Nomination Year: 2008
SYNOPSIS: Better sit down for this one. See, there's this nigh-mythical race of shapeshifters with amazing psychic powers. They're called Sleepwalkers. They're pretty powerful, except ... well ... their nemesis is "the deadly scratch of the cat." Oh, and they can only drink the blood of virgin girls.
They (our Sleepwalkers) have to move from town to town because, well, when the virgin girls start to disappear, people notice. And also, since they're vulnerable to cats, they tend to kill a lot of them -- and people tend to notice that as well.
So, they set up in a new town. The guy immediately starts to track down virginal girls (apparently it's quite a trick), and his mom whines a lot about how hungry she is (in between setting up the cat-traps and peering disconsolately out the window).
They almost immediately arouse the suspicions of the police, and this is bad news, since one of the cops travels around with a cat named "Clovis."
We discover that Sleepwalkers possess minor telekinesis, and can make objects invisible (or "dim" -- which is what we are if we buy any of this) using only the power of their minds. But it doesn't matter, because over the course of the rest of the film, Clovis the cat pretty much single-handedly wipes out the entire known Sleepwalker race (both of them).
Yeah.
