Dream catcher is a spiritual tool that we are a dream catcher tool, we keep it in a place where the morning light falls directly on this dream catcher, which the coming nightmares pass through it, which do not have nightmares.and Rounds Blue and Black Dream Catcher are hanged for positive energy and protections only good dreams can pass through to the dreamer while the bad dreams are caught in the webbing and are destroyed by the first rays of the morning light.

Dreamkatcher will be released on DVD and Digital on April 28 via Lionsgate. The horror film marks the feature debut of director Kerry Harris.

Radha Mitchell, Lin Shaye, and Henry Thomas star. Jules Willcox, Finlay Wojtak-Hissong, and Joseph Bishara round out the cast.

No special features are listed. Let the nightmare begin in the trailer below.

Two-Tiered Kommissioned Dreamkatcher

You too can own your own!

One of the all-time most difficult horror genres to pull off must be the “bad seed” movies. It’s certainly shocking to see a child commit heinous crimes. If it was your kid, you bet you’d be horrified. I also can’t think of many things less frightening than a killer I could escape by climbing on top of the kitchen counter. Dreamkatcher tries hard to make its premise work, even going so far as to invent its own mythology. Doesn't make any of it scary.

When Luke (Henry Thomas) is called away for work, it’s up to his girlfriend, Gail (Radha Mitchell) to care for his son, Josh (Finlay Wojtak-Hissong). Disturbed by dreams of his dead mother (Jules Willcox), Josh steals a dreamcatcher from a nearby craft store (run by Lin Shaye as “Ruth”). Unfortunately, the artifact only causes the voices to grow louder.

“Dreamkatcher: A misshapen wooden hoop asymmetrically looped with blackened string, decorated with features and beads, believed to hold evil.” Scared yet? No? Got some bad news for you then; it doesn’t get any spookier than bad spelling in this movie by Kerry Harris. Less than 15 minutes and you know how the entire thing is going to play out. The first scene makes it clear Josh’s mom didn’t drown herself. She was killed by an ax-wielding pre-teen. It’s only a matter of time before the same instrument finds itself in Josh’s hands and he goes mini Jack Torrance on everyone nearby. Meanwhile, we sit and wait. Josh resents his “replacement mother”. She tries hard to befriend - no thanks to dad, who disappears for about 4 days straight. When inexplicable things happen around the house, she knows he did it but brushes it off as childhood anxieties rather than supernatural possession. Fair enough, she doesn’t know she’s in a horror movie. Doesn’t make for interesting viewing, however.

As frustrated as you might become from watching Gail underreact to the strange occurrences inside the isolated cabin with poor cellphone (but excellent internet) reception, she downright genre-savvy compared to the father. Luke's patience is so extreme he’s just asking to be killed. You might get a kick out of seeing Lin Shaye in another horror film but her role is poorly written and ultimately unnecessary. At one point, Gail confronts the old woman and asks her why she’s appropriating aboriginal art and selling it to the non-existent people who pass through the forest. Is tweaking the script preferable to just casting someone in a stereotypical role of “supernatural sage”? I don’t know but I had to find some way to keep myself entertained while watching.

Neither scary nor suspenseful, never creative but decently acted, Dreamkatcher manages to overstay its welcome. The movie ends, and then tacks on another scene, the kind you'd expect because every one of these bad horror films has to hint at a sequel/the evil literally living on. No one who sees this horror film will remember it down the line. (October 31, 2020)
