    I can sum this one up in just two words: "Ass Worms"

    A very stupid King adaptation but I quite liked it, in a guilty pleasure sort of way. Always keep the toilet seat down!!

    As Stephen King fans should probably know, there are a lot of things in Stephen Kings books that make sense only where they are - that is, in Stephen King books. Translating them to film is usually a bad idea, as many filmmakers who had adapted King's books before probably figure...( read more)d out. But along comes Lawrence Kasdan, a talented and acclaimed veteran director, who, with the aid of a no less acclaimed screenwriter William Goldman, decides while writing a script for Dreamcathcer that it would be better to bring along all the trademark King's weird goings-on - and voila! We have a movie filled with telepathy, butt-ripping aliens, crazy military types keen on killing everyone, telephone-guns, indian symbols and even a lot of CGI thrown in for a good measure. Of course, it all fails - but oh how gloriously! I'll go as far as to state that Dreamcatcher is absolutely the best unintentional B-movie trashfest in years! It was totally amusing that such a bunch of undoubtedly talented people (Morgan Freeman, Tom Sizemore, Thomas Jane, besides aforementioned Kasdan & Goldman) were able to make this film without a single smirk - while the material is pure trash'n'cheese. That was the whole beauty of it, for me, at least - the level of money, work and talent that went into creating this film. I would like to personally thank all the people involved with Dreamcathcer - they made my year! Thank you, Lawrence Kasdan! Thank you, William Goldman! Thank you, Morgan Freeman - your eyebrows rocked! And most of all, thank you, Jason Lee - the bathroom scene involving Beaver and an alien worm under the toilet lid is pure classic!

    An 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."

    Holy 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.

    This is a decent Sci-fi horror based off of a Stephen King Novel. I have never read the book but I thought this was a good movie. Much like the other Stepehn King story called "It" we have a the story begin in the past with a group of young friends bonding over a odd experience. ...( read more)Years later this group of friends get together and end up fighting a group of evil Aliens. It is sort of like that. The movie has a great cast. The story was a nice blend of Sci-fi and horror. The F/X is very good in this. It has a solid ending. It entertained me. Well worth a watch.

    Yet another Steven King adaptation of a book on my favorite movie list. Amazing film

    Nothing special -- and quite surprisingly bad given the credentials of the film-makers.

    not that bad, but kind of ... meh, well. the movie, i suppose it's good enough for the story, which is the real problem, in my opinion.

    Well? you cant judge a book by its cover... or by its trailor in this case. Strange from the git go, and not in a good way. Imo a suffers from a bad plot.
