So, is this how Sleepwalkers work?

Charles has to suck the life out of virgins, and then 'feed' his mother by having sex with her?

It's the only scenario I could come up with that would explain why the mother didn't go out and take people for herself when she's clearly the more capable of the two.

"Well...I've seen enough. Come on Charlie, we're going home."

I wouldn't try to make this movie make sense. So much doesn't add up about it. I love most horror films but I felt cheated after watching this one.

Well for me, I always thought that the Sleepwalkers having intercourse was the way they fed each other. If you look, when they are in the act, an unmotivated light is actually forming beneath them as if they are transferring energy between the two of them. Then later in that scene, we can see that the energy they generate (even from not having eaten for a while) is great from looking at the window of the room that they are in. It actually manifests itself in an odd blue light and due to our culture, (which I'm sure is different from theirs) we interpret that as intercourse. I mean in vampire lore, Vampires do not engage in the act and merely use it as a tool to lure victims for themselves to feed on.
