Featured reviews
This movie was such a waste of time. I am writing this just after I have finished the movie and to be honest I don't even feel like I watched it. I'm not joking, it was really that generic, nothing stands out apart from Lin because she is just great.
The acting is pretty bad, the script bland and some of the camera work is pretty distracting.
I wouldn't say it feels student-like but it is only like one tier above that sort of level.
The end is also just stupid like it's just looks stupid.
You could probably skip it since there really isn't much of note in this film apart from Lin Shaye.

In my eyes, Lin Shaye and Henry Thomas have become almost iconic within the horror movie genre. So, when I see both of their names in the same film I expect it to be nothing short of terrifying.
I believe this movie tried but, ultimately, failed in its attempt to do just that.
Unfortunately, this movie has been added to the ranks of movies I just can't see myself recommending to other people. And I find that to be truly pitiful.

Silent Hill (2006) is great!
Why is Radha Mitchell on this movie?!
Everything was bad... acting, editing, concept...
The movie starts with a dictionary definition... WHY?!
I watched till the end in hope something would turn up...
But boy, there's a hole lot of bad movies better than this one.
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).

As usual the bad reviews are way off the mark. It's not THAT bad.
However, any film that has to start off with a dictionary definition of its title to explain why it's about is not a great sign.
This is a possession story but I'm not sure it's got anything to do with dream catchers.
When we think of the great esoteric props in horror movie history we think of the Hellraiser box or the Evil Dead totems in the cellar, they are key to the plot.
It's called dreamkatcher but the weird paranormal activity is clearly happening regardless of wether the dreamcatcher is around or not.
Also the dad joins my list of men in horror films who are complete assholes. Let's face it there are about a million activities you can do with your kids but no, let's go in to the woods and practice cutting things with sharp axes. Yeah dad, let's do that.
All the creepy kid red flags are here. The crazy drawings, weird accidents, sleep walking, etc.
It builds up slightly but the final confrontation scene is ridiculously poor.
Worth a watch if you fancy having something on in the background while your doing the ironing. Not the worst horror of 2020 by any stretch but certainly not the best.
