	Dreamcatcher (novel) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	Dreamcatcher - Stephen King
		Dreamcatcher, is an updated alien invasion epic with all the classic trimmings of UFO sightings, extraterrestrial fungi, telepathic mind control, and slimy bug-eyed creatures baring sharp teeth and lethal tentacles.
		Dreamcatcher is uneven and formulaic, interspersed with some ingenious set-pieces (especially good is an extended sequence with one of the characters locked inside his own mind battling an alien for control of his memories).
		Dreamcatcher was written while King was undergoing painful physical rehabilitation after being struck by a reckless driver’s van in the summer of 1999.

		He becomes their "dreamcatcher" and gives them telepathic abilities that let the friends instinctively know when each other is in trouble.
		The flashbacks in Dreamcatcher were great as they showed the four friends working together with Duddits as kids, using their abilities to locate missing people and "save the world." But the flashbacks aren't even relevant by the time they make it to the screen.
		Dreamcatcher is also well-shot, and well choreographed in the remote forests of Prince George, B.C. It is a slick looking movie with a polished feel to it.

		With Dreamcatcher, King is definitely back on the turf that most fans and critics associate him with: knock-down, drag-out horror, with a flair for precise characterization and a dash of something slightly spiritual.
		Dreamcatcher is what The Tommyknockers could have been minus a few hundred pages; reading the two back to back gives one a sense of an author in a period of evolution.
		King, 53, already has completed a first draft of the novel, which will be titled "Dreamcatcher." It is the first book he has written since a devastating accident last June, when he was hit by a van as he walked along a road near his home in Maine.

		Dreamcatcher is a comeback and an infusion of rich new blood into King's body of work.
		Although the film adaptation of this novel was highly criticized, it is no less a highly suspenseful, frightening and endearing story (yes, endearing).

	Movie Review: Dreamcatcher / Mountain Xpress / Asheville, NC
		The Stephen King novel Dreamcatcher is a not wholly dissimilar affair.
		Dreamcatcher is also strangely connected – in horrific terms – to Kasdan's most famous film, The Big Chill, which revolved around a group of old friends gathering for a funeral.
		Dreamcatcher just happens to incorporate mayhem, alien invasions, a psychotic army colonel (no wonder some reviewers think his name is Kurtz and not Curtis!) and, if not the kitchen sink, then at least the bathroom toilet.

		The Earth is in peril as well, needless to say, but most of our attention is taken up with a few men caught on the edge, and where the most important thing in the world turns out to be the fact that four small boys saved a fifth from a beating.
		Another point about Dreamcatcher is how fast-going it is! Dreamcatcher picks up at a giant's pace and keeps going throughout the novel (no matter what anyone says about it.) I can guarentee any science-fiction-horror-Stephen King fan that if they read this they are in for a spine-chilling and dramatic read.
		I found this to be a great novel, the characters are fanastic and the story is truly gripping.

	Mutant Reviewers from Hell do "Dreamcatcher"
		Dreamcatcher (the movie) is quite faithful to Dreamcatcher (the novel), which is a good or bad thing depending on how you look at it.
		And like the novel, the film kicks the bucket in the final act with a weak climax and a plethora of plot holes.
		The character of Colonel Kurtz in the novel was changed to Colonel Curtis for the movie so the audience won't so hung up on the name being a reference to the Apocalypse Now character.

		Instead, the humanist director has his characters confronting chills of an entirely different sort, in a flat-out horror movie that he's made as well as it could be made.
		Based on a Stephen King novel, "Dreamcatcher" begins with four men who've been best friends since childhood: Henry (Thomas Jane), a therapist; Jonesy (Damian Lewis), a professor; Pete (Timothy Olyphant), a car salesman; and Beaver (Jason Lee), a goof addicted to toothpicks.
		The first thing they do is toast someone named Duddits, their "dreamcatcher." Flash back 20 years, when the four are adolescents.

	Movie Forums - Review of Dreamcatcher
		DREAMCATCHER tells the story of four longtime friends who go hunting in the Maine woods every year.
		Reading it gives the impression that you are actually reading the novel -- it's that close -- but that's a testament to how slyly the writers have pared down the story (a dialogue snip here, a character gone there, a reduction here).
		DREAMCATCHER was a great book, and it's been turned into a damn good script.

		The "Dreamcatcher" novel also fell apart in its second half, but what kept you reading the book was the mind games going on in the lead character, Jonesy´s (Damian Lewis) head.
		In the novel, Jonesy notices Gray becoming tempted by the trappings of humanity and uses that to his advantage.
		If anything, "Dreamcatcher" is a good reminder that creature flicks work best when they maintain a stark simplicity rather than veering off on more "ambitious" tangents like this movie attempts.

		King began his novel with a chapter entitled 'First, the news', a collection of headlines recording alien activity in the past years.
		While it worked in the novel, to do the same thing in the film would be dry and un-entertaining.
		Dreamcatcher, while it is more graphic than Misery, lacks most of the graphic scenes from the novel.

	SPLICEDwire \| "Dreamcatcher" review (2003) Lawrence Kasdan, Thomas Jane, Morgan Freeman
		Sometimes a concept that works well in a novel just seems silly when translated to the big screen, and "Dreamcatcher" is burdened with more than its fair share of silliness.
		Pals since childhood -- when they were given extrasensory powers by a strange, mentally handicapped kid they protected from bullies -- Jane and Lewis have a supernatural connection that reveals the latter is still cerebrally alive inside his alien-occupied body.
		But "Dreamcatcher" (the title is a reference to an American Indian artifact that has nothing to do with the plot) loses its dread and turns downright laughable when it ventures inside Lewis's mind.

		Because "Dreamcatcher" is the novel Stephen King wrote (in longhand) while recuperating from his near-fatal accident, it easily lends itself to all sorts of psychological interpretations.
		When Richard McCarthy stumbles out of the woods, dazed and confused, not to mention the worst case of flatulence in the history of civilization, the group has no idea that they are on the edge of the end of the world as we know it.
		Dreamcatcher, like all of King's works, is entertaining and a quick read--even if it is over 800 pages in paperback.

	At-A-Glance Film Reviews: Dreamcatcher (2003)
		Dreamcatcher is a film adaptation of a Stephen King novel.
		For King fans that do not require a purely faithful adaptation and who don't mind the inescapable condensation that comes with filming a novel, Dreamcatcher is probably your thing.
		I guess Dreamcatcher is so assaulting with noise, gore, and slimy CGI beasties that it should have achieved more to justify it.

		There were some parts of the Dreamcatcher novel, like the ‘toothpick’ scene, I could see in my head as I read it.
		I’m not sure how Dreamcatcher will affect a viewer that hasn’t read the book, but I have a hard time thinking many are going to suspend their disbelief enough to swallow that ending.

		As a novel, Dreamcatcher also fell apart in its second half, but was able to keep you reading, thanks to the mind games going on in the lead character, Jonesy's (Damian Lewis) head.

		The plot of Dreamcatcher is reminiscent of 'It' in that it's set in Derry Maine and revolves around childhood friendships, facing and overcoming your fears and redemption.

	The DVD Journal \| Quick Reviews: Dreamcatcher
		Duddits passes on this unexplained gift for whatever-it-is to his new friends and they carry it with them into adulthood (even though it has virtually no bearing on how the film resolves.) Twenty years later, on their yearly hunting trip, the friends get snowed in at their mountain cabin — and then the aliens arrive.
		Based on the Stephen King novel, Dreamcatcher (2003) focuses brutally on physical impairment and bodily functions, with each character reflecting some aspect of King's own splintered body and spirit.
		All of this is framed by simply breathtaking cinematography courtesy of DP John Seale (The English Patient, A Perfect Storm) with director Lawrence Kasdan somehow managing to inject a few moments that are genuinely fun and suspenseful into the mix — all of which makes the craptastic quality of the overall film even more mindboggling.
