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 The Neon 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]
Dreamcatcher has a rating of 40% on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 10 reviews.[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.[12]
