OK
This movie used a lot of the same scenes over and over again it seemed. But other than that I really enjoyed it. It was interesting, suspenseful, and had a good ending.

Huh...what? Oh, hold up a sec, I'm trying to gather myself together again
What most people do not know is that this movie exists...and what most of the people who DO know this movie exists DON'T know is that this is based off of four stories by Stephen King. And if you've read mostly ANYTHING he's written, you'd probably feel the way me and Common Sense Media do. This is just, as King puts it in the novel, "Dreamcatcher: A Novel," "it was just SSDD for him"...and yes, the actual title has "A Novel" on it. But even so, this is a twisted movie, which, I guess, is sorta what King's good at. But still, it's the SAME OLD stuff story after Story after STORY! Sure, he did something diffferent with Shawshank, Mile, and some Body, but those were real good! And he didn't try doing MORE like them! I just don't understand.. Maybe they just didn't sell as well as his horror novels. Anyways, the violence isn't that bad, some sexual stuff, and the language is very bad for a PG-13, Whig is why I rate it "iffy" for 12+. Not much to say positive-wise. Bottom Line: If you like (and I mean REALLY like, like, OBSESSED with like) Stephen King or suspended with really big twists, then go check it out. Otherwise, you probably wanna stay away from it. Or, if you haven't seen any Stephen King stuff, and like suspense, go check it out.

good but not great
I liked this movie alot but I wouldn't go as far as to say I loved it. It has a creepy twist ending nobody saw coming which I liked and Johnny Depp was good but it wasn't exactly scream out loud scary. It's not appropriate for kids, because there is some pretty gruesome stuff in there, like screwdrivers through people's and dog's heads. I wouldn't let my kid watch this unless I knew they could handle it.

It kept me on the edge of my seat
This movie had a great story line and Johnny Depp did flawless. It was a little weird though...

a little graphic for PG-13
i watched this one with my mom. it is REALLLLLLLYYYY story is insanly awesome. all of the acting is awesome. the twist is GREAT! watch if you like thrillers/horrors with big twists. Sex. the first scene is of Mort's wife cheating on him. nothing shone. Violence. MANY violent images. including dog with electric screwdriver through neck, person axed in chest, person with normal screwdriver through neck, screwdriver in back of leg, house burned, and 2 killings by stabbing with a shovel. yes i said shovel. language. lots of f's for a pg-13 i definately sugest for lots of Johnny Depp/Stepehen King fans
