      Critics Consensus

      Dream House is punishingly slow, stuffy, and way too obvious to be scary. Read critic reviews

        It was a good movie because it kept me guessing. That's what makes a good movie, movies that keep you guessing. Good acting in the movie too, even the little girls did a good job... I liked how they threw a plot twist into the movie early and that was good because it immediately got you thinking another way... Again, got you guessing.

        Solid. Kind of confusing at times, but the story is really interesting, and the acting is good. Rachel Weisz does a particularly good job here.

        The previews and commercials for Dream House led one to believe it was a horror film, it is not, not at all. I think that is where a lot of the disappointment is coming from. It is a pretty good thriller, once you get used to the fact that that is what you are watching. The storyline, basically that horrible things have happened and we the audience have to figure it out along with the main character, is not the tired thriller standard, or at least the details are different enough to not seem tired. It's actually intriguing and the answer to the mystery is not obvious miles out, even if the climax sort of is. The acting is really quite good too. People who like mystery thrillers should enjoy the film, fans of scary movies will mostly not like it. 3 Stars 5-9-13

        How did they get this cast to appear in this nonsensical piece of ridiculousness? Rachel Weisz is too good an actress to be doing stuff like this. At least she and Daniel Craig fell in love while making it and married soon after so they have happy memories of it, those will not be shared by the audience however.
