Dream House Reviews

Dream House has been sold as a ghost movie but in reality, it is a psychological thriller mystery with a really bad ending.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/10

"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.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4

Abruptly shifts midway from half-hearted haunted-house chills to sub-Hitchcock mind games.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4

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.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/5

This is one 'House' that should be pulled from the market as soon as possible. (Movie Review for Parents also available)

At least Weisz and Craig wound up married after this mess.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4

So much is just so...obvious.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4

The film eventually descends into such violin-fuelled melodrama that it becomes a convoluted alternative to Kenneth Branagh's Dead Again.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

Was the screenplay, credited to David Loucka, this schizophrenic from the beginning? Or was some major tampering/reworking done at some point?

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4

The premise and the execution hold a lot of promise, but the film's climactic reveal will be incredibly obvious to anyone paying even the slightest amount of attention.

Full Review

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.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

An intriguing twist livens things up midday way but the mood is almost oppressively melancholy and the plot doesn't stack up.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

An utter waste of time and talent.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5

The final wheeze of the J-horror-inspired domestic thrillers that ran rampant a few years back.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/5

Despite starting off as an intelligent, realistic treatment of the traditional haunted-house thriller, the movie gets progressively more ludicrous as it goes along.

Full Review

In the end, it feels like an honorable attempt that went wrong somewhere. There's nothing cynical or exploitative about Dream House but there's also nothing that makes it worth seeing.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4

Sheridan's tale soon segues into an unevenly paced whodunit pockmarked with lame CG nightmare sequences and populated by hollow ciphers whose every word and action is less believable than the last.

Full Review

There are probably some fascinating behind-the-scenes stories that would explain why Dream House is such a ruined pile of nonsense.

Full Review | Original Score: D-

There are probably some fascinating behind-the-scenes stories that would explain why Dream House is such a ruined pile of nonsense.

Full Review | Original Score: D-

'Dream House' attempts to answer a question no one was asking. How long can a twist ending last? After the reveal, it's just a weird waste of time.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/10
