Dreamcatcher movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Glenn Lovell, San Jose Mercury News: This is the kind of horror flick you'd expect from someone who doesn't respect or understand genre conventions, someone who thinks that he can reclaim an audience's lagging attention with bigger and badder shock effects. Read more
Ty Burr, Boston Globe: All that keeps it from trash greatness is handful of miscast players and a habit of stuffing five plot points into a space normally reserved for one. Read more
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald: If Dreamcatcher ultimately feels like an unwieldy pastiche, at least it's never boring. Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: ... not since Death to Smoochy have so many talented people made such a mess of things. Read more
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times: A head-scratchingly silly B-movie, blending boyish sentiment and cheesy creature effects, that even Morgan Freeman can't save. Read more
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune: It's the kind of story that probably would have worked better as a four-hour miniseries. Read more
A.O. Scott, 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. Read more
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: The picture, which can be stereotypical and incoherent, is saved by Kasdan's talent (and the good ensemble cast). Read more
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times: No matter how often parts of Dreamcatcher make you wince or turn your stomach or both, you are not about to leave without finding out what happens next. Read more
Bruce Westbrook, Houston Chronicle: Even those who have read King's hybrid of horror and sci-fi may be left in the lurch. The story flowed on the book's 620 pages. It drunkenly stumbles on the screen. Read more
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly: Kasdan can create scenes of banter and menace, of everyday Maine community and gut-gushing F/X, but he can't wrestle this production into a coherent movie experience. Read more
Stephen Cole, Globe and Mail: Like nightmares, horror movies pull us down with them. And so the film keeps us in thrall for every one of its 134 minutes. Read more
Philip Wuntch, Dallas Morning News: The film falls apart under the strain of too many plots, too many characters and too many eels. Read more
Ella Taylor, L.A. Weekly: Somewhere between King's novel, the screenplay by William Goldman ... and Kasdan's shooting script, both character and metaphor have gone to the dogs, leaving a slew of fart and burp jokes. Read more
John Anderson, Newsday: A movie can survive bad acting with a good script or bad writing with stellar acting. Dreamcatcher has neither advantage. Read more
Peter Rainer, New York Magazine/Vulture: A bumpy thrill ride. Read more
Rex Reed, New York Observer: Stupid, sophomoric and moronically silly, it leaves you with the feeling that you might welcome shock treatment just to get your brain back. Read more
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. Read more
Charles Taylor, Salon.com: While the movie is fairly unpleasant it's also, finally, so ludicrous that you begin to wonder if it isn't all a big put-on. Read more
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle: A likable disaster. Read more
David Edelstein, Slate: King is dreamily free-associating, which doesn't mean he's plumbing his unconscious in search of new nightmare archetypes; it means he's recycling bits of old horror and sci-fi flicks and even setups from his own novels. Read more
Jeff Strickler, Minneapolis Star Tribune: Read more
Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star: Easily one of the most absurdly over-plotted and incoherently condensed horror movies of recent times. Read more
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. Read more
David Rooney, Variety: This overlong and unwieldy grab-bag of vintage monster-movie elements starts intriguingly as a snowbound deep-woods chiller, but gradually dissolves into a mess of other-worldly invasion and military counter-offensive. Read more
Laura Sinagra, Village Voice: If hopeless literalist Kasdan could have decided on a tone ... this could have been a gynophobe's Independence Day. Read more
Stephen Hunter, Washington Post: It's the craziest thing you ever saw. Read more
