Recently, I came across a multi-DVD collection called Urban Chills. Which wasn't exactly truth-in-advertising since half of the 10 films weren't anywhere near "urban". But I digress. Most of the movies also happened to be pretty lousy. But several stuck out. Of the entire collection, DREAM HOUSE is the best! The story: A young couple find the home of their dreams. Hence, the title. But upon purchasing the extravagant house, they start having disturbing dreams and the odd vision or two. Once in a while, a character dressed in turn-of-the-century garb will appear and startle them. Digging into the history of the house, they discover some violent murders and goings-on took place there. And it's quite possible that history plans on repeating itself. Acting in this film is pretty good, though maybe the director should've picked someone else to play the husband. He couldn't act to save his life. Editing left much to be desired. In more than one scene, you can clearly hear someone mutter "Cut" right before a scene fades to black. And don't get me started on the over-long credits. They go on F... O... R... E... V... E...R.!. In terms of on-screen violence, there really isn't a whole lot. This film relies more on psychological thrills and chills. And it succeeds, mostly. So, despite it's flaws, it's worth seeing. *FADING TO BLACK* "And Cut!!!"

Quite frankly, this movie is not very good. It is below not very good. It is absolutely terrible. The story seems like something that my friends and I could have come up with, in fifth grade. I don't mind the actors, though the voice and video lineup makes them seem horrible.In addition, if this movie EVER comes out with a sequel, hopefully it will not be shown in theaters either. I apologize if you made this movie, please try harder next time. And get rid of the transition. That was like something from Windows movie maker. *shudder*. this ruined the next movie we watched, called "prey". Movie festivals are good, but only for junior and high school students.From the starting BlindDate-like movie shots and bland sounds, it was love at first sight. I loved this movie. Loved it because I knew I could always have a career as a filmmaker. And be more successful than these people ever will be. I thank this movie for boosting my confidence and helping with my low self esteem problem.Thank you, Dream Home, for setting the film making standards very, very low.

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.

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.
