Ep 195 Dreamcatcher
from Welcome to Horror Hosted by Welcome to Horror
In the second half of our Not For Everyone Podcast recommendations, we’re watching another Stephen King adaptation - 2003’s “Dreamcatcher”. A film in which Morgan Freeman’s eyebrows are designed to stop pigeons nesting; Damian Lewis auditions to play the Joker as Hugh Laurie; and Jason Lee just needs to leave those fucking toothpicks where they are! For a film about killer worms that burrow into your arse; “Dreamcatcher” has a remarkably glossy and expensive look, with a cast of big names. Written by King whilst high on painkillers, the story has a lot of similarities with his classic “It”, even down to its fictional location. Somehow though, the film manages to either take itself too seriously or not seriously enough, and may have been improved for amping up the (toilet) humour of the premise. Watch (or re-watch) to avoid spoilers and join us.
