#86 Dreamcatcher


Dreamcatcher is a perfect Steven King adaptation. His 700 page tomes are almost always schizophrenic messes crammed psychic childhood bonds, sweetly retarded saints with magical powers, subhuman receptacles of pure evil, crazed para-military types and a golden oldie or two from Wolfman Jack's record crate. William Goldman and Lawrence Kasdan put every one of these patented Steven King elements onscreen, no matter how goofy, trite, overused or just plain confusing. The result is just like one of King's books; part predictable, part mystifying and oddly entertaining. I'm not kidding around, though. This movie is really weird.
