1. Dreamcatcher (2003)

Jonesy, Henry, Pete and Beaver are four friends who share the unique telepathic ability to read each other's minds, a gift they each acquired as children when they befriended a mentally challenged boy named Douglas "Duddits" Clavell, after rescuing him from a brutal group of high school boys. When they grow up to be older men, the four friends go on a hunting trip one cold winter in Derry, Maine, planning to stay at a log cabin known as Hole in the Wall.

One morning while hunting at Hole in the Wall, Jonesy almost shoots a man named Rick McCarthy, who has been wandering out in the woods because he has lost his fellow travelers. Jonesy and Beaver courteously invite him into the cabin, and then notice a red mark on his cheek, as well as how he exhibits dyspepsia and extremely foul flatulence. The two men send McCarthy into the bedroom to rest before they witness a spectacular animal migration outside, studying the red marks on the animals that resemble the red mark on McCarthy' cheek. Then they encounter two helicopters that loom over the cabin. The pilot warns them that the area is destined to be quarantined, but neither man takes it seriously. Jonesy and Beaver go back into the cabin only to find McCarthy's blood trailed all over the wooden floor, leading all the way to the bathroom. When McCarthy fails to let them in, they bust the door down and find a horrifying display of reddish moss and gore splattered all over the bathroom walls. McCarthy is seated on the toilet, and excretes something that sounds alive. Beaver knocks McCarthy's dead body into the bathtub and seats himself on the toilet- the lid shut beneath him- and then takes out a box of toothpicks (chewing on toothpicks is a nervous habit of Beaver's). Suddenly, the living creature in the toilet bursts beneath Beaver, causing the toothpicks to scatter all over the bloody floor.

Beaver volunteers to remain on the toilet while Jonesy runs out to the shed to find a roll of tape to strap down the toilet seat. As Beaver waits nervously, he attempts to grab two clean toothpicks on the floor, but is knocked off the seat when the living creature bursts up with powerful force. The creature is a terrifying eel-like creature (nicknamed the "Shit Weasel") with a long set of ferocious jaws, and by the time Jonesy returns, he is too late to save his friend, and Beaver is killed when the Weasel flies into his face and devours it off screen. Jonesy escapes the bathroom and tries to keep the Weasel trapped inside, but accidentally pulls out the doorknob and is approached out of nowhere by a gargantuan gray alien creature, who explodes into a cloud of red dust, which Jonesy inhales. As a result, the alien, known as Mr. Gray, takes over Jonesy's body. Mr. Gray has a meticulous British accent, which distinguishes him from Jonesy's American accent, as both inhabit the same body and argue in back-to-back perspectives.

Meanwhile, Henry and Pete, who are miles away from the cabin and unaware of what is going on, end up in a car accident that occurs when Henry swerves to avoid a frost-bitten woman who is sitting in the middle of the road. She tells them that she "has to find Rick", but they have no idea what she is talking about. Henry volunteers to leave and get help while Pete stays with the mysterious woman and gets drunk. The woman dies silently and excretes a Weasel into the snow, which then attacks Pete during his drunken state. Pete is able to kill the Weasel with a piece of firewood, but is then found and captured by Mr. Gray, who is still controlling Jonesy's body.

Far away, an alien hunter named Curtis (Morgan Freeman) is running a military camp containing a horde of civilians victimized by the alien plague. Curtis' strategy is to have all the civilians killed and appoints Owen (Tom Sizemore) to help him win the battle against the aliens, spectacularly demonstrated in an aerial fight against the nearby spaceship. Later, however, Henry enters the camp and is able to read Owen's mind, thus convincing him that Curtis is corrupt and should not be obeyed. Owen teams up with Henry and has the camp seized by the U.S. Army. Curtis escapes via helicopter.

As Owen and Henry flee the camp, Jonesy is still trapped inside his own mind, which is portrayed as a vast Memory Warehouse in which all of Jonesy's important memories are stored in boxes. The majority of his body, unfortunately, is still controlled by Mr. Gray, who is holding Pete hostage during a snowmobile ride. Jonesy is devastated when Pete refuses to cooperate with Mr. Gray and is tragically eaten by him. Then, Mr. Gray kills a truck driver and kidnaps his dog, forcing it to eat a display of red moss so that a Weasel can grow inside its stomach. Next, Jonesy realizes that the boxes in his Memory Warehouse containing the memories of Duddits are vital to Mr. Gray's needs. Jonesy frantically collects all the boxes and moves them down to a lower floor of the Warehouse so that Mr. Gray cannot get them.
