Dream House Reviews
Jim Sheridan's new movie is simply mediocre. The plot twists are thrown in lazily and at the wrong time. [Full review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 4/10 | Sep 20, 2023
[Audiences will] have no idea what to make of the jumbled, mishandled mess they’ve just witnessed.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Mar 8, 2023
This is a movie featuring loads of talent and at its core a familiar but fairly interesting story. But it’s also a movie plagued with amateurish writing and an off-the-rails ending that undermines everything the movie tries to do.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 20, 2022
It had plenty of potential with its story, despite the fact that it's completely derivative of two other movies.
| Original Score: 4/10 | Nov 30, 2020
One can sense that this was a production riddled with problems, most apparent in the extremely poor dialogue and script.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 29, 2018
Turned out so bad Sheridan wanted his name removed from the credits
| Original Score: C | Aug 3, 2018
Even good actors in sexy clothes can't make this movie compelling.

The final wheeze of the J-horror-inspired domestic thrillers that ran rampant a few years back.
| Aug 26, 2015
This is a sunken wreck from the get-go, and everyone involved knows it and just tries to get away.
| Original Score: D | Jun 22, 2013
Dream House has been sold as a ghost movie but in reality, it is a psychological thriller mystery with a really bad ending.
| Original Score: 4/10 | Mar 1, 2013
The only real mystery is why some A-list actors and a director of Jim Sheridan's calibre would even ponder working on such an uncalled-for project in the first place.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Feb 15, 2013
"Dream House" is a mess of a film. This is not only because its writing is amateurish, but also because the film itself seemed like it was someone's first attempt at putting a film together.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Sep 19, 2012
Dream House is clearly something of a wreck, yet watching the film provides glimpses of the better film the project might have been.
| Apr 20, 2012
Dream House is not the film it was advertised as, but beyond the wonky finale, reshoots, and strange editing there is an interesting tale to be told here.
| Original Score: 5/10 | Feb 12, 2012
It's little surprise that Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz disowned this turgid, woefully inept thriller which idiotically gave away its big reveal in the trailer.
| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Dec 31, 2011
This is the kind of thing that happens when there is a squabble about who controls a movie. Director Jim Sheridan bickered with studio over how scenes in this thriller should be shot, and scenes were redone after test audiences reacted negatively.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Dec 22, 2011
This is one property you'd do well to stay away from.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 1, 2011
It's daft and nonsensical. But it's that silliness and the sheer calibre of cast that ensure this has a certain car-crash watchability about it.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 27, 2011
Disappears up its own fundamental implausibility.
| Nov 27, 2011
The fragile hope that we might have a grown-up horror movie on our hands is smashed to smithereens.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 25, 2011
