a i read some of the user comment i see people blame stephen king for this piece of drivel . don not blame him . the move follow the book loosely and many detail that would explain the action of the character be leave out . while dreamcatcher be not one of king best book and it isn not the bad . all i could say to my wife while i be watch this be the book be well . if you must blame anyone blame the screen writer who take a book with lot of internal dialog and try to turn it into a movie . think dune . ~~~~~book spoiler~~~~~ duddits wasn not an alien . kurtz or curtis be crazy . owen be a big turncoat . duddits be more developed . and a plethora of other scene be leave out . once again and take this movie a you will and but do not blame king .
