April 4, 2012Jim Sheridan can't get it together for Dream House.
What seemingly looks like a dark fantasy or creepy thriller, Dream House plays out like neither. With a very slow pace and a monotonous aura around it all, even a story that fails to reach 90 minutes can feel li

March 5, 2012Dream House is a limp, ineffective thriller that has a great cast and...well, really nothing else.
I was well aware of how poorly Dream House had been received by critics and most audiences, but I was convinced I should see it, regardless. I'd yet to encounter a movie that Naom... read more -

February 9, 2012fb100000145236770When I saw the trailer for this I thought it was like a horror movie. Instead, "Dream House" is a psychological thriller, that gives it's twist away early and really goes no where. Will(Daniel Craig) quits his job in New York to move with his wife(Rachel Weisz) and their two da... read more

December 26, 2011This was okay. To be honest, I didn't initially recognize the cast - the acting was such that I thought it was a no-name straight to DVD movie! (this copy was given to me with no cover and just the movie name on it - the credits do not roll until the end of the movie. In my defen... read more

December 17, 2011Once upon a time, there were two little girls who lived in a house.
Surprisingly good
The biggest mistake people do when going to watch this movie is expect it to be a horror film. It isn't it is a psychological drama with a very interesting film that has a lot t... read more -
December 1, 2011Dream House was not the film that I was expecting, but as I left the theatre I felt good that I saw it. The story follows Will Atenton (Daniel Craig) who quits his publishing job to spend more time with his two girls and wife, but he suspects something mysterious about his house... read more

October 30, 2011This was an entertaining movie but to my dismay the main plot twist was given away by the trailer! I would've loved this movie if the twist and the thrill (things which make mystery movies good) weren't revealed beforehand!

October 19, 2011This mess of a film has a few interesting elements but the stupid plot wants so badly to be convoluted that it even forgets to be coherent or plausible. And beware, the trailer gives away the entire movie, including the twists, which only proves that the people in charge of the m... read more

This suburban gothic is a logy, convoluted mess. Full Review

Peter Howell, Toronto Star
While Will and Libby struggle to adjust their thinking caps, the viewer already knows, thanks to the tell-all trailer, the reason for much of the confusion. Full Review

Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times
This crackpot thriller from the usually competent Jim Sheridan leaves only one mystery unsolved: what on earth was he thinking? Full Review

Robert Koehler, Variety
Daniel Craig does everything to dispel comparisons to Stanley Kubrick's The Shining with a finely tuned performance, but the film flattens as it tries to explain his character's psychological state. Full Review

Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News
Sheridan's pacing is turgid and mournful, which lends the story -- sort of like The Shining crossed with Gothika during a sleepover stop at The Amityville Horror -- an air of ponderousness. Full Review

Mark Olsen, Los Angeles Times
Sheridan can't ever quite get hold of the tone and falls back on a default dreaminess (the little girls play a shaky rendition of Beethoven's "Für Elise" more than once) that never quite convinces. Full Review

David Rooney, Hollywood Reporter
Despite the talent involved, this is more a snooze than a dream. Full Review

Eric D. Snider, Film.com
There are probably some fascinating behind-the-scenes stories that would explain why Dream House is such a ruined pile of nonsense. Full Review

The only thing it haunts you with is: What the heck happened to Jim Sheridan? Full Review
