Dream Home

After watching this horrible movie I have a couple of questions.

Who where the people who gave it a ten in the voting? What is wrong with them?

Do yourselves a favor and avoid this piece of trash.

After attempting to submit my post about this movie I was told that it did not contain enough lines of text (the minimum being ten lines). Therefore I will try to come up with some more words to describe this crap...

abhorrent, appalling, atrocious, awful, bad, beastly, dangerous, desperate, dire, disastrous, disturbing, dread, dreaded, dreadful, extreme, fearful, frightful, ghastly, gruesome, harrowing, hateful, hideous, horrendous, horrible, horrid, horrifying, inconvenient, loathsome, monstrous, obnoxious, odious, offensive, petrifying, poor, repulsive, revolting, rotten, serious, severe, shocking, unfortunate, unnerving, unpleasant, unwelcome, vile

My wife and I are always on the look out for a new horror movie/director may be we should have been looking for a GOOD new horror. This was the worst attempt at movie making that I have ever had the miss fortune of stepping in. The acting was atrocious, monotone and strained the camera work was shoddy and ineffective. The biggest early clue was when you can here someone in the back ground yelling CUT at the end of a scene an obvious audio clip that should have made it to the producers floor with the rest of the movie. We will be on the watch for cast and crew so that we can steer clear of the next train wreck they are involved with. I pray that you are reading this before your flush your money and time out of your life away.

This movie is not worth the box or CD it was printed on. I went with several of my friends to a local video store during a boring weekend, and this movie popped out at us. The art and the story looked rather interesting: a migrant couple move into a house and get tortured by souls from the afterlife. Interesting, right? We rented it and went on our merry way. Upon arriving home, we popped the DVD in and began to watch it.

The first thing that got my attention was the lack of a DVD menu. Even those $1 children's DVDs at Walmart have one, so why doesn't this? You could afford interesting looking box art and a catchy summary, but nothing more? Once the movie actually STARTED (asides from... disturbing previews for some other no-name movies produced by the same people) my friends and I felt even more-so like our $3 was wasted. Whenever a character spoke, the camera moved to a fixed angle on their face, and nothing more. The dialog was repetitive and cheesy, and the continuity was terrible. Whenever a camera angle switched (given the director was creative enough to do so), actors would have different poses, and objects would clearly not be in the same place. Also, a lot of things in the plot just didn't make any sense. In many scenes you can see clear errors: such as 'night' scenes with clear daylight shining through a window in the background. Also, the acting was terrible. Expect to see better acting from first graders at a school play, than those people who starred in 'Dream Home'.

Do yourself a favor and don't follow the misleading box and summary. It may look good, but you don't know that until you've pressed play on your DVD remote. My advice is to never rent movies that you haven't heard of: chances are, there's a reason why.

Where to begin with Dream Home? Where to begin indeed.

Let's be clear, the most professional part of this production is the cover art. But even that is badly flawed, that house doesn't even remotely resemble the house in the movie and a child on a bike like that? Not relevant.

The film itself is truly amateur hour, it looks and sounds like a student film. The cinematography is messy and the sound quality is the pits. Want an example of how bad? You'll have two characters talking to one another and the background noises will vary in intensity when the camera bounces between them. It truly is awful.

The acting is some of the worst I've seen for years. No passion in the delivery, it's as if they were taken off the street randomly and asked to just read off a teleprompter.

The plot is recycled, we've seen it all before but better. So basically to summarize the film literally has no redeeming features. It looks like hell, it sounds like crap and the content itself is unoriginal tripe.

They do get better than this, but not by much.

The Good:

Erm....

The Bad:

Poor boom quality

Lifeless performances

WTF is that front cover?

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

When you actually hear the director yelling "Cut" in a finished film you know these people shouldn't be in the industry

People who buy million dollar homes can't afford kids

This was the absolute worst movie I have ever seen. I can not even begin to explain the way I felt when this movie was over....I was ripped off Don't let this happen to you!!! The movie made no sense at all, and the acting was horrendous...The front of the box looks really interesting..The kid on the bike..oh yeah y would he have anything to do with the movie...DUH...There is not even one child in this movie!!! If there were a way to recall movies this film should be put in a fire pit!! Take my advice Don't rent this movie, buy this movie, or even watch it on cable...I'm sure you can find better things to do for an hour and a half...like ripping your toenails off one by one!!!
