Synopsis

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

"The idea behind Dreamcatcher was to design a film that brings back the whodunnit, the empty house scare and the backyard fright all wrapped up in an original screenplay that's set to entertain a young modern viewer. Distribution with the legendary Goldwyn name allows for this timeless classic to reach audiences globally and to capture market share in our YA demographic" said Vayda.

Distributed by Samuel Goldwyn Films, Dreamcatcher has ranked in the Top 20 movies to stream this winter by Newsday and USA Today.
