I?ve wanted to see this movie for a long time and I finally got the chance. I didn?t really knew what?s actually going on in this movie I was pleasantly surprised. I mean, this movie is nothing special ? quite an average movie, but still I enjoyed it. I haven?t watched a movie of that kind* , for a long time, being so relaxed and carefree (while watching that kind of movie, of course). So, I was amused and I recommend it to everyone who wants to have fun.
* It?s a combination of two ?basic? movie genres (my humble opinion), but SORRY, can?t tell. It would be a spoiler, so only who has already seen this movie can discuss it with me (if one wants). -

This movie was unbelieavable and quite frankly, strange. It wasn't scarey or thrilling either which I'm guessing was the directors intention (i'm still not sure though).

MCT:October 4, 2008enjoyable film i felt its not the best film based on a stephen king novel but very well done and the cast is great and good gore too
-
MCT:October 4, 2008This was one of the poorest novels I think Mr. King ever did... to make a film from it was a terrible mistake. Damn those contractual obligations.
-
MCT:October 2, 2008I have to force myself to finish this movie...
I try to seach for something watchable in this movie through out the whole movie, but in the end...I have to say...this is so boring...
A weird story, very messy... -
MCT:September 22, 2008I was surprised by how much I disliked this movie. Normally I'm all for a movie with Morgan Freeman in it but even he was underwhelming in this. I just didn't like the story and the whole direction. Not one of Stephen King's best stories. This stunk.

good movie based on Stephen King's novel. It had pretty good action and the acting is alright. Worh watching.
-
MCT:September 16, 2008I watched this long ago and would love to watch it again and even read the novel. I remember being creeped out by it.

I keep trying to find the ironic value in this mess, but all i see is just a miss-mash of The Thing and a dozen of half-assed scfi/fi cliches glued together.

I would have to say that this is my favorite Stephen King movie adaption of all time. When I saw it in theaters for the first time, I was blown away by it. I liked this movie a lot because of its characters that seem so real that you can almost relate to them. The actors that played each character did an excellent job. (Especially Jason Lee, who played my favorite character, Beaver) I believe that it gets better when the aliens are revealed, which are really creepy by the way, and the main characters are struggling to survive. It makes out to be a really good sci-fi horror movie. I know that a lot of people did not like this film for many reasons, but this was the movie that really got me into Stephen King. After seeing this, I read the book which was fantastic and I have been of fan of the novel, the movie and Stephen King ever since. It has become my favorite book of his as well, and I found the film to be very faithful adaptation. Even though they left out some scenes and changed the ending, there is only so much you can put into a film and I appreciate the film for what it is. The original ending on the DVD is closer to the book, but you can't beat what Stephen King wrote. Also Stephen King said, "Dreamcatcher is the first really good horror/suspense movie made from one of my books in at least fifteen years".He has also stated that he liked it. I give it a 4 1/2 stars is because I believe the ending should have been closer to the book, but overall excellent Stephen King film.

MCT:September 1, 2008A typical Stephen King film, very odd at times. Wouldn't class it quite as a horror has certain elements of Stand by me and the Tommy Knockers in it. Overall pretty good.

I didn't expect to like this movie at all, but I was actually pleasantly surprised . Although I felt some points of the plot were completely ridiculous, the characters were likable, so overall it was pretty decent.

This seemed a lot better before having read the book. But now that I've read it, I just can't bring myself to enjoy it as much as I did back when it was released.
Saw it again just a couple a days ago, and... Well, it doesn't do King's book justice at all. They just weren't able to catch its thrilling atmosphere, it seems. Nor its main concept, for that matter. They changed a lot of things in the story, which I think was a huge mistake.
Don't get me wrong, though. The original story's so long that they would have no choice but to change it at least a bit while writing the script. Otherwise, they would have been left with an afternoon movie marathon instead of a regular one. But the thing is, they changed some things that should have by no means been changed. And worse... They changed it in order to make sure the audience would understand the plot. And that's pretty much the same as calling people stupid.
They messed with a lot of things concerning the story in the book, but the worst move of all was messing with the ending. By doing so, they changed its essence completely and screwed its concept to a point of no return. And all for the sake of a good old Hollywood-like ending.
Big no-no right there.
If one can't change things for the better, I say don't mess around and stick to the plan. Now that would have been a nice, smart move.
Anyways... Despite all the mistakes concerning this movie, the story's still good enough in the overall. At least until the last 10 minutes or so. Then things really start going down the drain.
And to think this movie could have been so much better than it turned out to be...
Bet you'll like it a lot more if you haven't read the book yet. -

Very interesting alien flick. It is more original than I thought it would be. Quite a big name cast, although about half of them weren't that big at the time. Not bad for a Stephen King movie.

Good Sci-Fi horror film. I've never read the book but the film is decent. Good cast and special effects.

King doesnt' write about aliens, so when he does everyone stands up and pays attention. I haven't read the actual story but do have a copy of it laying around here. The movie was great. And you have the comeback or introduction of Donnie Wahlberg. The movie is a bit long, but you stay entertained the whole movie. Jason Lee, Tom Sizemore, and Thomas Jane are all great in this movie. Big Sizemore fan. He needs to clean up his act and get back into movies.

Cool psychological alien movie. Friends on a camping trip discover that the town they're vacationing in, is being plagued in an unusual fashion by parasitic aliens from outer space.

Not one of my favorite SK movies, especially the creatures with a fascination with anal entry. I need to read the book and maybe I'll appreciate the movie more.

great but not good enough to impress me...the idea is cool I admit it but I haven't been amazed by it and maybe there was some lenght...
-
MCT:July 13, 2008I don't know how to rate this. It's laughably ridiculous, but a rare movie whose badness I get great pleasure from. If I may quote Roger Ebert: "The movie has as many farts as the worst teenage comedy--which is to say, too many farts for a movie that keeps insisting, with mounting implausibility, that it is intended to be good."

the special feature in the dvd has steven king's private endorsement with his remarks upon it. the most attention-grappler would probably be the outter space creature sneaks out of man's butthole on the toilet which king actually takes pride in..king says that the most taboos of our own are mostly discovered inside the bathroom which is a part forbidden in the system of civilization..that sounds like something pseudo-intellectual...about my personal opinion, the restroom scene feels like some cheap b-grade oriental horror with a ridiculous whim. ABSOLUTELY CHEESY!!! actually lots of people in orient share an peculiar horror fancy that a hand reaches out from the toilet to tickle your butthole...now it appears even in steven king. besides jason lee is so quickly disposed in the flick..the alien possession narrative is just silly...what a mess.
