Dreamkatcher (2020)

This is so bad. How fairly accomplished actors like Radha Mitchell and Henry Thomas could agree to get involved with this rubbish is beyond me. I'm also still trying to figure out if the the child actor is just totally unable to change his facial expression of whether he was just given zero direction and guidance. Worst of all is the soundtrack that is simply a combination of weird noises and single synthesizer notes.

Don't waste your time, this is just pure rubbish and an embarrassment to the horror genre.

Fmovies: Their attempts at scaring you were to have a child standing behind the fridge door, or to hold a knife above the step mother's head, horrible acting of glass in the character's mouth when drinking, and other forgettable cheap scares and countless plot holes. Kept hoping for it to get better, but it continued to decline. Wouldn't waste my time watching this ever again.

Someone tried to make a movie and failed miserably, the end. YUCK!

Dreamkatcher fmovies. Just drink every time Radha Mitchell says, "Hey"! You will pass out before halfway through, and you'll thank me for that. That would be the only reason to watch it.

Well... How should I start. You know the drill.. bad things happen in the past in a house - new tenants go to the house - no cellphone network - kid befriend ghost - old person neighbor knows everything (classic actress) - kid starts to draw creepy stuff - family starts to investigate the past - kid tries to kill himself - ghost harms adult (in the most stupid ways) - climax (dumb)... and some of the stupid use of jump scares sounds in between.

Boring film. Boring acting. Boring everything. Even the basic plot is stupid. Father takes kid where mom died for rehab and leaves him alone with gf (that doesn't believe in ghosts ofc).

One of the longest 90mns in my life.. Damn this was bad. Even the title has bas spelling (for some reason).

I will watch Lin Shaye in ANYTHING! She is amazing and always nails the character. That said, even she cannot save this movie.

I think this is the second review I've ever written because I feel like the horror genre is so hard to review! There are so many different types of films and, honestly, horror movie aficionados are kinda snobby, lol, we all feel like critics!

This one started out strong, I was excited, I thought ok, wow, this one is gonna be good... up until just past the halfway point and then I don't know what happened but they lost me and I couldn't be more disappointed.

It's very frustrating because half the story was there and the acting was great (a big deal to me) and, Lin Shaye! Hello! But it fizzled out and I was so irritated I had to come here and write this review.

Maybe I'm missing something but I just didn't get it after about two thirds of the way thru. For reference, to give you an idea of the types of movies I like - because it's so hard to try and find a good horror movie that is in my wheelhouse - I very much enjoyed these disturbing horror films, The Platform, Pet, Ghostland and Midsommar, fun horror movies like Tucker and Dale VS Evil and especially LOVED Final Girls with Taissa Farmiga, I adore AHS, loved Tusk, Hunt, Waxwork, any old school 80's slasher film and, of course, ALL of the Insidious movies and The Conjuring franchise, as well. I could probably go on all night but that gives you a small idea of what I like in order to determine if you might want to trust my judgement and give this movie a pass.

Hope this might help others trying to find something good to watch!
