Dream HouseSuccessful publisher Will Atenton (Daniel Craig) quit a job in New York City to relocate his wife, Libby (Rachel Weisz), and two girls to a quaint New England town. But as they settle into their new life, they discover their perfect home was the murder scene of a mother and her children. And the entire city believes it was at the hands of the husband who survived. When Will investigates the tragedy, his only lead comes from Ann Paterson (Naomi Watts), a neighbor who was close to the family that died. As Will and Ann piece together the disturbing puzzle, they discover that the story of the last man to leave Will's dream house will be just as horrifying to the one who came next. -- (C) Universal Pictures.

Review For Dream House | |
| A well-acted but ramshackle mess. Nigel Floyd-Time Out Was the screenplay, credited to David Loucka, this schizophrenic from the beginning? Or was some major tampering/reworking done at some point? James Berardinelli-ReelViews This suburban gothic is a logy, convoluted mess. Owen Gleiberman-Entertainment Weekly While Will and Libby struggle to adjust their thinking caps, the viewer already knows, thanks to the tell-all trailer, the reason for much of the confusion. Peter Howell-Toronto Star This crackpot thriller from the usually competent Jim Sheridan leaves only one mystery unsolved: what on earth was he thinking? Jeannette Catsoulis-New York Times Daniel Craig does everything to dispel comparisons to Stanley Kubrick's The Shining with a finely tuned performance, but the film flattens as it tries to explain his character's psychological state. Robert Koehler-Variety Dream House has been sold as a ghost movie but in reality, it is a psychological thriller mystery with a really bad ending. Sean Kernan-We Got This Covered The only real mystery is why some A-list actors and a director of Jim Sheridan's calibre would even ponder working on such an uncalled-for project in the first place. Steve Newton-Georgia Straight So much is just so...obvious. Roger Moore-Movie Nation At least Weisz and Craig wound up married after this mess. Roger Moore-McClatchy-Tribune News Service "Dream House" is a mess of a film. This is not only because its writing is amateurish, but also because the film itself seemed like it was someone's first attempt at putting a film together. Jeff Beck-Examiner.com Not to overcook the metaphor, but Dream House is pretty much as intangible as its name suggests and, when it's all over, you may struggle to remember anything noteworthy from the experience at all. Matt Looker-TheShiznit.co.uk Dream House is clearly something of a wreck, yet watching the film provides glimpses of the better film the project might have been. Jason Best-Movie Talk Dream House is not the film it was advertised as, but beyond the wonky finale, reshoots, and strange editing there is an interesting tale to be told here. R. L. Shaffer-IGN DVD It's little surprise that Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz disowned this turgid, woefully inept thriller which idiotically gave away its big reveal in the trailer. Shaun Munro-What Culture This is the kind of thing that happens when there is a squabble about who controls a movie. Director Jim Sheridan bickered with studio over how scenes in this thriller should be shot, and scenes were redone after test audiences reacted negatively. Linda Cook-KWQC-TV (Iowa) This is one property you'd do well to stay away from. James White-SFX Magazine It's daft and nonsensical. But it's that silliness and the sheer calibre of cast that ensure this has a certain car-crash watchability about it. David Aldridge-Radio Times Disappears up its own fundamental implausibility. Philip French-Observer [UK] The fragile hope that we might have a grown-up horror movie on our hands is smashed to smithereens. -This is London This is a workmanlike movie that is never quite scary enough, and never quite ingenious enough, though the four leads do an honest enough job. Peter Bradshaw-Guardian [UK] An intriguing twist livens things up midday way but the mood is almost oppressively melancholy and the plot doesn't stack up. Henry Fitzherbert-Daily Express Weisz and Watts are badly served by two dimensional roles and Koteas's part in the big picture is laughably obvious. -Liverpool Echo Crowbarred into the standard haunted house chills is a supposed twist that feels like Shutter Island written for drunk people. David Edwards-Daily Mirror [UK] | |
