    WASTE of your time!

    Absolutely AWFUL movie! PLEASE, do yourself a favor and save two hours of your life. Do not watch this horrible excuse for a movie! This is a new low for LMN! I have to say, some of their recent movies were bad, but this one is the most pathetic and screwed up yet! Lifetime....You are beginning to suck even more worse than ever!

    I'm Sorry That I Hit You With Celery

    Okay Wow... the opening sequence is a testament of complete affirmation of the choice made by so many of not having kids.

    That being said, oh my. Which direction will this one possibly go????

    Dear Lord...who writes this crap?

    -1 Star for the Scene with the 'Love Letters'

    -1 Star for Stupid Dialogue

    -1 Star For the very stupid sexual assaulter scene

    +1 Star For the Craziness of The Mother of The Year

    Okay The Ending Was Cheesey but it was also Appropriate. Haha....

    This one ends with a 3/10

    Home of my dreams

    This is the best movie to fall asleep to. I start watching it and immediately feel like I took a sleeping pill. The acting is bad, the flyovers are overused and the story is unbelievable. I know it's based on true events, but this has to be exaggerated.

    Just what is happening in films lately?

    The very beginning of the film states it was based on a true story. That I find impossible to believe. A woman with a crippled husband and autistic daughter seriously want this house that she looks at but is out bid by someone else: Mrs Vogue and her doctor husband. While the story unfolds, much of the script and acting is so awful that I thought it was a bad joke. The scene of all the neighbours accusing Vogue of sending letters to them, and suddenly all friends when a party was announced. I've seen school plays with better acting than this! I'm sure my pet budgie could write a better script than this. None of this made sense. A poor woman voted Mother of the Year is truly a victim of domestic violence, she has to care for her daughter and also put up with her raging husband. However, this woman is the film's apex monster. They could've given her fangs or made her cast spells to make this slightly better! Instead I felt quite sorry for her. This TV movie is like junk food, it's bad although you can't stop watching it.

    Find another dream house

    While I seen worst movies before, this still a bad movie. The movie based based on true events which isn't a bad idea, but the way it handles is poorly done. I found the script to be pretty bad on how the filmmakers executed these events on screen and is unbelievable. Like how the neighbors soon gain their trust after she made a speech to them after the letters which I don't believe it will work. The acting itself is pretty bad with the performance range from bland to not convincing at all. There's also lack of suspense due to the scenes happening pretty quickly to have tension to them at the climax. Also, the movie is pretty boring too.

    Dream House Nightmare is best off forgotten.
