Movie propaganda
Dreamcatcher tells of four young friends who perform a heroic act - and are changed forever by the uncanny powers they gain in return.
Years later the friends, now men, are on a hunting trip in the Maine, USA, woods when they are overtaken by a blizzard, a vicious storm in which something much more ominous moves... Challenged to stop an alien force, the friends must first prevent the slaughter of innocent civilians by a military vigilante, then overcome a threat to the bond between them. In the end, the friends confront an unparalleled horror, with the fate of the world in the balance.
Screens with the Animatrix short film: Final flight of the Osiris.

The meaning of the Dreamcatcher
The native peoples of North America gave us the tradition of the dreamcatcher, a hoop of twigs woven with an intricate web of sinew. It is believed that good dreams, floating in the night air, pass through the hanging web and flow down the dangling feathers to the sleeper below. But nightmares are caught in the web and held until they perish in the first light of day.
