Dream House


IMDB
First time viewed: Yes
Current Release: Yes
Watched With: Myself

Trailer gives away a big twist that comes at the halfway point. Apparently that trailer also infuriated the director and stars who refused to promote the film in protest. Problem is, that twist comes right in the middle of the film, it's the big conceit of the story and one I had a hard time going along with which really just killed the end for me.

It's not really much of a horror film, like the trailer makes out either. The cast they have assembled should have given that away, but it's more of a drama thriller. The cast is wasted with this material too. Despite being competently produced, it's just not very appealing.
