Desperate to keep her home as real estate prices rise uncontrollably, a young professional (Josie Ho) decides that murder is a reasonable solution.

The film is a surprisingly hilarious and deeply sickening midnight freak-out, and for a director known more for character-driven melodramas and comedies it's a delectably disgusting change of pace worth crowing about.

Rated: 3/4

Pang's film may be heavy-fisted with the satire and foggily plotted, too, despite the lengthy flashbacks, but no one could doubt his commitment to the death rattle.

Rated: 2/5

Time Out

For all the film's bleak ironies, Lai-sheung's brutal asphyxiation of a pregnant woman, who aborts her child while dying, destroys any residual empathy.

Rated: 3/5

The Wolfman Cometh

Effectively blends together multiple tones and multiple timelines to build towards a satisfying reveal that ties it all together.

Rated: 4/5

Bloody Disgusting

Time hasn’t diminished the value of Dream Home either, and from the looks of things on the real-estate front, the movie’s relevance only grows.

Rated: 4/5

Don't let cheesy puns or rhyming couplets put you off what is otherwise an altogether more sophisticated approach to a macabre topic, fusing political commentary with grisly scenes of graphic, uninhibited violence.

Rated: 4/5

This was a pretty good horror movie. I knew absolutely nothing about it going into it and I definitely rec that as the way to go about seeing this. It's much more fun to figure out the plot as it's going vs reading a blurb beforehand that takes away and all surprise. It's not scary but like any good slasher, it has some unique kills and is fun.

Fantastic!! It's a unique type of slasher film. Soo gruesome, grim and bleak in its commentary on the high cost of living, and the struggle that causes. There's even a dark streak of humor throughout.
