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

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.

If it were possible to give negative stars on films, this movie would be -30. It may possibly be the worst film in the history of film making itself. Dream Home features acting three or four bars below porno acting, the cheapest camera effects even my younger brother (Who is five years old for your information) can perfect, and a dreaded script to go along with it (Im being nice when i say dreaded). There are actually parts in the film where stagehands appear holding cameras and such. So I say go out and rent this movie, not for the acting, not for the effects, not for the script, but for the sheer laughter and enjoyment it will bring by making fun of "The Worst Movie Ever".

I felt the movie itself would have been good if the director had really tried to focus on making a good movie. Low budget is probably what they were using. It was an excellent story for a horror movie and could have been a great horror movie. Ghost stories that aren't gory are my favorite types of movies. The movie could have been up there with The Ring, or The Grudge but it seemed like a high school video project instead of a "real movie." The plot of the story was good--but the stiffness of the acting and the lame dialog was laughable. Even though it had a certain creepiness factor, it was actually a challenge to continue watching it to the end. Maybe it will rank with the cult classics for dumb horror stories. I'll give it some points for surprising me at the end, though.

Well that's 30 minutes of my life I won't get back! I skipped most of it as it's absolute rubbish with terrible acting and stupid storyline. Not even scary! Don't waste your time!
