If this is what Stephen King movies have disintegrated into, then it's time to pull the plug.

Obviously, the hole in Dreamcatcher was a little too small thus allowing a lot of the bad aspects of the film to stick in the web along with the good.

Not only the excess of visual effects removes part of the film's quality, but also the plot inconsistencies occur non-stop. [Full Review in Spanish]

Dreamcatcher isn't half-bad. Or even a quarter-bad. What it is, however, is sometimes meandering and confusing.
Dec 10, 2018
Perhaps due to the talent of everyone involved, Dreamcatcher moves with an oddly exhilarating awfulness that sets it apart from more run-of-the-mill horror films, which lack the imagination and budget to be so thoroughly misconceived.
Dec 10, 2018
Dreamcatcher is unspeakably bad -- and shockingly so -- considering that it's an adaptation of a Stephen King novel, from the director of The Big Chill (Lawrence Kasdan) and the writer of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (William Goldman).

Dreamcatcher is pretty much a special-effects movie, with uneven results.
Dec 7, 2018
Dreamcatcher is a horror, sci-fi fantasy, buddy movie, a military thriller, a mangled crate of X-Files, and a mass of half-baked clichés.

As soon as Morgan Freeman's alien hunter/military commander turns up, a riveting movie starts morphing into a predictable villain-on-the-warpath action flick.

There's a great cast, and a great director, but ultimately the finishing product fails to live up to any potential.

'Even I don't trust my judgment anymore,' [Freeman] warns in one of the movie's trash heap of unintentionally funny lines.

An interesting story about personal relationships turns into an alien/monster/save the world story with some really gross scenes.

Those looking for a stomach-turning alien film may be pleased, but those looking for a smarter psychological thriller will be sorely disappointed.

I challenge you to name a movie with a more convoluted or preposterous storyline.

What begins as a pique to our collective curiosity quickly degenerates into what is essentially a shootout between the good guys and the monsters.
Original Score: 2/4

We have a long wait as Dreamcatcher cycles through pay-per-view, cable, and special edition DVD, until at last, like other inept King vehicles, it sinks into obscurity.

A mishmash of styles and genres, Dreamcatcher tries so hard to do so much that it ends up accomplishing very little.
