Ass-weasels, shit-slugs, butt-maggots,.. whatever you want to call them, believe me-- you don\'t want this little virus! Dreamcatcher is the latest attempt to put Stephen King up there on the big screen. We\'ve got some creepy elements working for us in this flick, like the aforementioned ass-weasels. We\'ve got alien spores that no amount of Valtrex could clear up. We\'ve got Stand By Me flashbacks of childhood friends helping out a strange little kid named Duddits. We\'ve got these grown-up friends using strange powers like mind reading and key finding (oh,.. scary). We\'ve got Donnie Wahlberg as a retard! Sure there\'s some stuff that doesn\'t work so well, like the whole Independence Day attack sequence. And, of course, the Morgan Freeman character is useless. If you\'re looking for something creepy, you could do a lot worse than Dreamcatcher. Jason Lee and Damian Lewis (Band of Brothers) do an excellent job, even though Stephen King\'s annoying hick phrases (like, “Fuck me, Freddie”) are way overused. See this one at matinee price and you won\'t be sorry. Just put a little topical cream on it afterwards. If ya stick around after the flick, you\'ll get to see a groovy CGI Matrix short with the world\'s finest computer generated ass.
