Verdict: 'Dreamcatcher' feels like five Stephen King adaptations rolled into one wild, yet somewhat patchy and chaotic ride! 'Dreamcatcher' is a pretty good example of how the studios have taken over the junk that used to be left to the exploitation hacks. Both character and metaphor have gone to the dogs, leaving a slew of fart and burp jokes which, based on prior SK novels-turned-films, I wasn't actually expecting. To sum up, 'Dreamcatcher' is a triumph of big and slimy monster effects and a disaster of screenwriting and yet it's so silly and unintentionally funny that there are times when you just can't pull your eyes away from the screen for fear of missing something!!
