The final Series of Thriller opened with Sleepwalker, it's quite obvious that Brian Clemens writing changed as time went on, his darker taste for the macabre and obscure was very evident here. Like one or two others it's an episode that would have perhaps felt more at home in the Hammer House of Horror box set, a thriller in the broadest sense of the word, more like psychological horror. I can imagine that it's a little dated for some, but the quality in the writing is very evident, so many strands, so much going on, just so clever, forcing someone to wonder if their dreams are reality, and indeed if dreams can be shared. A few good suspects on display, and you don't quite know what's happening until the end. It's well acted, Darleen Carr is very good, Michael Kitchen as always was excellent, I hadn't realised how prolific an actor he was in his youth. Some aspects are a little dated, the dream phase filming looks shoddy by today's standard, but it's all wonderfully atmospheric.
Enjoyed it, 8/10
