But first, his jailers allow a minister to visit the killer to give him last rites, unaware that the minister is a voodoo priest and an ally of the condemned prisoner. The priest places a hex on the Sandman so that when he is executed, his soul migrates into a new body made of sand.

Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.
SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped
AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.
jfarms1956 This movie is for those 10 and up. Maybe kids shouldn't's see horror flicks, but let's face it, they love them. This is a true popcorn cruncher. Just like many horror movies, it starts off slow. It builds slowly but keeps you hooked. You get hooked by a murder within the first ten minutes of the movie. Maybe a better title of the movie should have been Sandman. The cast helps make this movie work and yet none of them are what I would call superstars. This movie would be good for sleepovers and slumber parties. The movie offers little surprise in plot and ending.An average horror film with average entertainment value.Enjoy the flick for what it is. Four thumbs up.
dowling1981 This is quite possibly the worst film I have ever seen. The fact that I saw it quite late at night without falling asleep halfway through is probably due more to the power of caffeine than any qualities inherent in this film - of which there are zilch. It is clichéd, abysmally acted, frighteningly dull and rather confusing. It is one of those films where you cant quite believe that during the course of filming no one in the production company stopped and said "hang on, this is rubbish, people wont buy this!". The only circumstance in which someone would voluntarily sit through this movie would be if they had just arrived here from Mars and had never seen a movie before and had no concept of what a movie was. Now let us never mention this film ever again - "Sleepstalker" never happened.
Scarecrow-88 Absolutely dreadful horror film about a young journalist named Griffin(Jay Underwood)who is being stalked by a killer made of sand. The killer(Michael Harris)slaughtered several families before he got to Griffin's and as he was about to kill him{..after killing Griffin's parents}, a cop(William Lucking)is able to stop him. Griffin's only ally{..because the cops thinks he's crazy and behind three murders, two of whom were his best friends}is his photographer friend, Megan(Kathryn Morris of "Cold Case")who has seen what the Sandman can do. The film is really cheap, with only average special effects, the killer isn't very convincing{..while also being quite laughable}, the premise is bit of a joke especially in how the killer is able to come back aided by a weird devil preacher, & the acting goes from bad to very bad. The film never builds suspense, the effects are never fully effective enough to scare, and the whole film is one longish, boring ride. Seek your thrills elsewhere because there in short supply here.
adashiel I've seen this movie a couple times on cable, but the only thing about it I remember is the haunting lullaby ("Sleep, baby, Sleep") at the end. It took me awhile to even remember its name. It's far from being a good movie, but at the same time, it's not bad enough to have much camp value. That lullaby, though, is amazing.
