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!

OMG
What is this??

Not as good as the book, but entertaining.

I did not expect this kek.

People say it's bad but I legitimately enjoy thismovie.

This movie aged so badly.

The men call the red stuff "Ripley", after the broad in the Alien movies.

"It's gonna do for the toilet what "PSYCHO" did for the shower." - Stephen King.

Okay but why did you even put butt monsters in this? I wish I was joking when I said that. The main creature (or aliens) come out of peoples butts which is meant to be horrifying. Why do I have a feeling that King isn't that self aware of his own work.

But that's not all, the movie literally points out and makes fun of the biggest cliches in movies, even through this has the most Stephen King tropes in his past movies.

The only thing that's missing is Nicolas Cage as Damien Lewis character. Now that's a movie right there.

As children, a group of kids help a handicapped kid. He turns out to be special and gives them powers.
Years later, they reunite and a lot of crazy shit starts to happen. An alien comes out of someone’s butt and possesses Damien Lewis (Home Land). It makes him talk with an English accent as well.
The movie is IT if there was no Pennywise and aliens that come out of butts. As well as an alien with Down syndrome obsessed with Scooby-Doo. Plus the Losers Club took care of each other way better.
It’s also frustrating that a lot of the characters introduced are pretty interesting. Yet nothing great is done with any of them. Hell, some are there just to get killed off quickly. Spoiler: Jason Lee and Timothy Olyphant are the most wasted in the movie.
Jason Lee plays the Richie of this Losers Club. Yet, he’s Richie if they were dumb enough to do nothing with the character and kill him off. After some funny wisecracks.

@dan0sz Watched it again a few years later. I guess it has to grow on you, because this time I actually kind of liked it.

Oh my God this movie is ridiculous... Instead of Dreamcatcher they should call it Buttscratcher!

Buttscratchah? ... Buttscratchah!
