No relation to the Mick Garris/Stephen King film, it’s the latest excursion into night terrors.

Brainstorm Media releases SLEEPWALKER to select theaters and VOD platforms January 9. Written and directed by Brandon Auman, it stars Hayden Panettiere, Justin Chatwin, Beverly D’Angelo, Mischa Barton, Lori Tan Chinn, Laird Lacoste and Corinne Sweeney. The synopsis: “Haunted by terrifying visions, Sarah’s [Panettiere] sleepwalking episodes begin to intensify, accelerating her descent into darkness.”
