The Stephen King Sci-Fi Movie He Called A “Train Wreck” Is A Streaming Hit (& You Can Watch it Free)

Stephen King has openly discussed the circumstances surrounding his 2003 novel and film, Dreamcatcher. He explained that he was heavily medicated with OxyContin for pain at the time and unable to use a computer, so he wrote the entire book by hand. He acknowledges the influence of the medication, stating it’s a book where “the drugs at work” are apparent, and admits he isn’t a fan of the final product. This sentiment is echoed by critics and audiences; the movie adaptation received very poor reviews, scoring only 27% on Rotten Tomatoes’ Tomatometer and 36% on its Popcornmeter.
