There's a version of this story that could have explored parental grief with real weight, but this Hayden Panettiere-starring thriller stretches a nightmare premise too thin.

Sleepwalker Review: They Snooze We Lose

While the premise of Tom Gormican’s meta-reboot of ANACONDA is intriguing, the film doesn’t come close to replicating the deranged pleasures of Llosa’s 1997 original.
