- cultfilmliker2025年10月24日More like Cake Eater amirite Straight up the worst film I have ever seen in theaters. And I projected a short film I made sophomore year of high school called, “Pop Pong” A shitty feature-length V/H/S segment grossly inspired by Paranormal Activity with a lot of Creep, a little Hereditary, and obviously The Shining. Just so painfully derivative it truly hurt. The cheesy musical motif got annoying 10 minutes in and good god it did not stop. And the timestamps were so frequent and completely unnecessary lmfao. The worst part - it was not scary whatsoever! Had to spend the entire film riffing with a friend bc we just couldn’t help ourselves. Jesus Christ. Shame on Eli Roth. I will never forgive you. Watched at Warren Regal 21 with Moore “Added” to 2025 Ranksd
- KGM SOSA2026年2月22日I am actually really impressed with this film, my interest was instantly piqued when I first saw the poster, I am a found footage fanatic & then seeing Eli Roth’s name attached as a producer/distributor of this film lended it some extra credibility as he directed the ‘Hostel’ movies & ‘Death Wish’ & is closely associated Quentin Tarantino, so Eli’s name carries weight in horror circles. I have been wanting to pull the trigger on watching ‘Dream Eater’ for quite some time, I found out about this early & now honestly regret not watching it sooner, I could’ve been one of the earliest reviews on it. Firstly what stood out immediately is that it didn’t take the cliche overused jump-scare cues, it avoids the tired, cliché timing most found footage movies lean on, it was full of jumpscares (which I love as I watched this trying to be jumpscared) but it found its own unique moments that were less expected, for example there’s moments where a character will walk down a creaky hallway & instead of being jumpscared at the most predictable moment, it won’t occur only to land in a far less predictable moment, this isn’t cheap misdirection either, there’s still proper tension, cues & buildup but it just found its own creative timing, if that makes any sense? Next thing that impressed me & honestly made the movie was the incredible Mallory Drumm, not only is she absolutely effing beautiful, which she is, but she had so much range, I really thought her acting was subtle & controlled but incredible, but then I found out she (along with her costar) wrote, directed & produced this film, she is honestly so talented & unbelievably this is her first writing/directing/acting/production credit she knocked this out of the park, she’s previously only worked on a couple small horror shorts. This feels like a serious breakout moment & I am watching this beautiful ladies career blossom & I can’t wait to see what else she does. Another thing I liked about her character which is also a credit to her writing is that she didn’t play a stupid ‘final girl’, too often horror relies on characters making poor decisions just to push them into danger which really take you out of the immersion & make it hard to invest in the character because it’s a cheap way to put the character in the critical situations in horror, however they (her & Alex) really made the extra effort to write it in a way where she was both making smart decisions & logical choices yet still ended up in danger, it was appreciated & really kept me invested. Although I have less to say about Alex who also wrote/directed/produced & costarred in this too, do not be fooled, he was great in this too, I just feel the need to rave on as much as I did with Mallory because he is more experienced & had quite a few credits to his name, however his trademarks are all over this film; first he is known for writing abrupt endings allowing the audience to decide the fate of the characters, which absolutely describes the ending of this film. The other major trademark of his that is in this film is the fact that he often writes characters trying to understand their own personal struggles, which is extraordinarily obvious if you watch this film. He definitely has a bright career in the industry & if he shakes the right hands & networks with the right people with deep enough pockets he is certainly going to make a name for himself in the film industry. Him & Mallory are destined to make great horror movies if they just network well enough. I don’t want to comment too much on the story itself & instead of of writing about it myself I’m just going to copy what IMDB says & urge you to go into it completely blind, here’s the IMDB synopsis: “A filmmaker documents her boyfriend's violent parasomnia during their holiday at a remote cabin in the woods, and as his sleepwalking gets worse, she believes the cause might be something far more sinister.” I was undecided on whether to give this an 8 or a 9 (out of 10) but after sitting with it for the last few minutes & considering the range displayed by a relatively inexperienced team; writing, directing, producing & acting at this level, I’m giving it a well earned 9/10. However if you’re not as enamoured with found footage as me you might land slightly lower. Well done Mallory & Alex, I’m excited to see what you both make next. Ps. Thank you Mallory for the fanservice ;)
- jackmeat2025年11月19日My quick rating - 4.2/10. Nothing says “romantic getaway” quite like a remote cabin, a demon possibly squatting inside your boyfriend’s body, and a doctor who decides to jet off on business but still expects homework. That’s what I got in Dream Eater, a found-footage possession thriller that really leans on its gimmick… and then keeps leaning until it starts to wobble like Alex on one of his midnight wanderings. Mallory (Mallory Drumm) is instructed by Dr. Snape (Dainty Smith) - playing a physician whose bedside manner is basically, “I’ll be out of town, film your boyfriend’s night terrors, thanks!” - to document Alex’s increasingly violent parasomnia. Naturally, the best place to do this is a remote cabin in the woods. Horror movies have been screaming “don’t go to the woods” for decades, but our heroes treat that rule like a suggestion on a cereal box. We follow everything through their camera, which means lots of shaky first-person shots and found-footage tricks. You know how much I ADORE that format. If your heart didn’t just fill with sarcasm, mine did enough for both of us. At least the movie lands one thing well. That creepy whistling. That sound cue works. Every time it floated in, I perked up like a cat hearing its treat bag. Alex (Alex Lee Williams) begins sleepwalking, ranting, lunging, and generally doing the kind of things that should make someone call a priest, a therapist, or at least an Uber. When he wakes, he remembers none of it, which becomes the movie’s main loop: sleepwalk, freak out, blank memory, repeat. It’s like watching a haunted Fitbit log. The jump scares? Oh, they’re here, and they’re dumb enough to qualify for government assistance. Mallory, understandably fed up, consults a new doctor (David Richard) who casually suggests Alex might be fighting off a demon like this is an everyday Tuesday diagnosis. Once Mallory hears “demon,” the correct play should be simple: get in the car and drive until the cabin is a dot on the GPS. Instead, she runs around the house and yard in a panic, essentially LARPing as “the character who makes terrible decisions.” To the film’s credit, Williams gives a surprisingly solid performance. He sells the “I didn’t do that, did I?” energy pretty well. And a couple scenes legitimately try to spook you with decent atmosphere. The problem is that the story never really evolves. It’s a possession movie trapped in a sleepwalk-cycle treadmill. In the end, Dream Eater isn’t awful, it’s just undercooked. Better than most found-footage wannabes out there, though that bar is buried so deep even a demon couldn’t dig it up. Drop this one into 1998, and it probably would’ve been hailed as the next big thing. Even now, it has more going on than The Blair Witch Project did… and yes, I said it. A few sparks, a few chills, and a whole lot of what-ifs. I was hoping for more, but hey, Eli Roth’s name got it onto my watchlist.
- andrewturner112025年11月23日Pretty good -- some flaws here and there, but ultimately an enjoyable flick.
- cat_pack2025年11月23日Honestly pretty good cosmic horror. The dynamic between the gf and bf is fantastic and it really makes the show. It adds moments of levity in an otherwise unnerving atmosphere akin to the first paranormal activity before it was beaten into the ground with 8 million sequels
- Timeless Cinema2025年10月26日The reveals, mystery, & horror make Dream Eater a compelling enough found footage viewing. It just doesn't excel at anything, can get repetitive, & the ending doesn't land well. A decent watch for found footage fans nonetheless.
