Dreamcatcher centers around Dylan, known to his fans as DJ Dreamcatcher, who is on the brink of global stardom. But everything changes the night of an underground music festival, where two estranged sisters and their friends meet Dylan. After a gruesome drug-fueled event, things begin to spiral into 48-hours of violence and mayhem.

 

 

 

The horror film is directed by Jacob Johnston, who’s worked on numerous projects from the Marvel Cinematic Universe as a visual development producer. Johnston also wrote the script for Dreamcatcher and will mark Johnston’s directorial debut. Producers Krystal and Brandon Vayada revealed that the idea for Dreamcatcher was to design a film that “brings back the whodunnit, the empty house scare, and backyard fright” all into one story.
