Holy hell is this bad. Laughably bad. Great fodder for a bad movie podcast, which is why I'm super happy that We Hate Movies and HDTGM have covered it. I read the book as a kid and saw the movie in theaters, but don't remember this much crazy. Listen to those podcasts to know the details of this batshit film, but for those who need to be talked into it, this thing includes scenes where multiple people shit aliens, someone talks on John Wayne's gun as a real telephone, and Tom Sizemore and Morgan Freeman lead an elite task force called the Blue Boys. Enjoy!

This movie is absolutely nuts. I'm not sure what's more goofball, aliens that employ eels with big teeth that gestate in a victim stomach and exit out their ass or believing that four males talk to each other the way these characters do. Honestly, they chat like they're at a baby shower where too much wine is served. Infected victims are easily identified because they fart a lot just before they birth eels. Pretty common. The distinguished Morgan Freeman is a crazy military guy with a crewcut and calls literally everyone "Bucko". Donnie Wahlberg is unrecognizable and un-understandable as a mentally-challenged alien...er...guy, who is befriended by the Four Muskateers that talk like they're at a Ladies' Aid meeting. There's quite a few odd scenes where "Jonesy" is trapped within an alien's mind while the alien has taken Jonesy's physical form to fool the puny humans. But the alien has a British accent when it talks as the alien. Or something like that. Then to make it worse, Jonesy is searching through his memories, represented as pulling files from a dusty library. I'm not even sure any of this makes sense. I only watched it once and I've never read the Stephen King book. In a very strange way, I did like "Dreamcatcher". I think it was a pretty awful movie, maybe it's even one of those "so bad it's good" flicks. But, I certainly don't regret watching the insanity.

OMG What is this??

People say it's bad but I legitimately enjoy this movie. > Do I- *pause* Do I have bad taste?? *cries silently but performatively* I caught this on cable one day and I remember always wanting to see it and then I did. Then I watched it again. I like it. I think it's a fun time. Then I went online and read other people's thoughts and.... uh I don't know what to say. I still like it.

Not as good as the book, but entertaining.
