The characters are unlikeable, even after you're supposed to feel sorry for them. And not just a kind of unlikeable, they're poorly written and flat characters. They all make dumb decisions, or do really stupid things that only happen when you're following a script that is in turn just following tropes (and one of those tropes is that in a post credit scene, they kill a barely related, unnamed, gay character. For... No reason).
Add to that a barely registered supernatural element that pops up, disappears, and the then re-emerges only at the finale while being mixed in with mundane and pedantic monologue-ing, and you have a mess. This element, by the way appears to be Native American, but the primary slasher weapon of choice is a karambit, a knife found in Indonesia. Just... Why mash the two together? (That is by FAR the least of this movies problems, but it just seems especially needless.)
Fill in the gaps with a dash of plot holes, a smidge of loose ends, and a heaping portion of poor explanation and you have "Dreamcatcher."
It might not be the WORST movie ever, but it's not worth it.
