Dreamcatcher is a 2021 horror film written and directed by Jacob Johnson. [1]
Two sisters must deal with a homicidal serial killer on the rampage at a nightclub.
Johnson has stated that films such as Suspiria , The Night of the Hunter, and TheNeon Demon were a big influence on Dreamcatcher. [2] [3] Alexander Taylor was brought on to create the score and actors Niki Koss, Zachary Gordon, and Travis Burns were confirmed as performing in the film. [4] [5]
Dreamcatcher was released on VOD on March 5, 2021 through Samuel Goldwyn Films. [6]
On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes , 36% of 11 critics' reviews are positive. [7]
The film's criticism mostly centered on the plot, which Dread Central and Common Sense Media felt offered nothing new to the genre: [8] [9] [10] a reviewer for Film Threat criticized the script, highlighting "Johnston's stilted, inconsequential dialogue", [11] while Starburst felt that the film was convoluted.
