June 12, 2009An odd mishmash of kind of interesting as well as rather stupid elements.
Also, to quote Rober Ebert: "The movie [has] too many farts for a movie that keeps insisting, with mounting implausibility, that it is intended to be good." -
March 20, 2009Holy shit, what happened? I mean this movie is trying to be ten different things at once. With the talent attached, I just can't imagine anyone thinking this was a good idea.

February 15, 2009Boring Bodysnatchers rehash. Maybe the book is better, but I doubt it.

December 30, 2008My favorite Stephen King movie. Creepy as hell, but I loved it.

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
A head-scratchingly silly B-movie, blending boyish sentiment and cheesy creature effects, that even Morgan Freeman can't save. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Dreamcatcher begins as the intriguing story of friends who share a telepathic gift, and ends as a monster movie of stunning awfulness. full review

A.O. Scott, The New York Times
Everything here is so clumsily handled that the creepy sensation of dread that infuses the early moments is quickly washed away on a tide of space slime and wearying exposition. full review

Claudia Puig, USA Today
Though the tale, adapted from Stephen King's best-selling novel, starts out with an eerie sense of foreboding, Dreamcatcher fails to deliver thrills and chills. full review

Nick Schager, Slant Magazine
As in King's derivative novel, the story is overstuffed with too many unnecessary (if occasionally cool) elements. full review

March 2, 2008the 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.
