Dream House: Blu Ray Review

Rating: M
Released by Warner Home Video

Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz star in this direct to video thriller.

Craig is Will Atenton, who starts the film handing in his notice as an editor in the city to head to live in his dream home with his wife (Weisz) and their two daughters.

While it all seems like it's going swimmingly, soon there's people being seen outside the house at night and Will's facing the possibility his dream home is about to become a living nightmare for the family...and it gets worse when they learn the last residents were killed...

Extremely slow, Dream House is not the kind of thriller that really grips you from the start.

If you've seen plenty of these flicks, you can see the twists coming and work out what happens before it actually does.

Craig's okay as Will and Weisz is her usual stoic self as the wife of the threatened home but in this ghost story murder mystery mesh up mess, it's all a bit muddled and you don't really care about what's going on. Goodness alone knows why Naomi Watts is in this other than to look a little whimsically into the distance because she's completely wasted in the film.

Dream House hints at potential but it's never anything but average and hard to get through.
