Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated
Lightdeossk Captivating movie !
BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
thanveeralisayed The actress in lead was just great .i thought this was just another slasher with some gore ,chasing,hide and seek scenes. But it wasn't . story revolves around a girl who do anything for accomplishing something she wanted for a long time .The way she chooses for achieving it is mysterious .yes
SmegHead84 Positives: The violence is superbly done. The fact the killer's a woman drives the violence. Being frequently overpowered by her victims forces her to be creative. The killing is never easy. Brutally graphic blood and guts is balanced well with dark comedy.Negatives:Jumping back and forth through time is often confusing.The claim that it's based on a true story is a complete fabrication.Bottom Line: This is a brutal and stylistic film.The story is interesting enough although the jumping through time is a little jarring at first, but the real fun happens when Cheng Li- Sheung is murdering her way through apartments. The violence is unforgiving, interspersed with dark comedy that's much needed when the action is this brutal. This film is certainly not for the faint of heart. Cheung is forced to get creative as things go wrong and the action is pushed beyond the point of believability – something I believe is needed when the effects are this good. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie, and some of the scenes stayed with me long after I had seen it.
Harriet Deltubbo The urge to just walk away almost got me a couple of times. But, in the end, this is an excellent character study. Cheng Li-sheung is a young, upwardly mobile professional finally ready to invest in her first home. But when the deal falls through, she is forced to keep her dream alive - even if it means keeping her would-be neighbors dead. Are there annoying things in this movie? Yes, like the overdone acting. But the movie has enough to keep you entertained. If you end up watching this, you will probably be like me in saying that it starts off great then gradually begins to suck. For these reasons I award this film 7 out of 10.
Tabatha Zee "Dream Home" has been a title I've been waiting to watch since it's release. Most reviews I had read pinned it as a "darkly hilarious" satirical horror film with high levels of style and gore. The style and gore are there alright, but as far as humor is concerned, I was a little let down. The film does have it's quirks and witty lines, not to mention a few "so-bad-it's-good" effects, but it didn't quite live up to the reputation that I had known it for. That being said, the film is shot beautifully and uses a wide variety of creative shots and transitions. It plays with the time-line well and develops Cheng's character at a very nice pace. Many of the deaths are drawn out and disturbing, which would make this a difficult film to watch if the effects were done with more care. Some over-the-top gore may be humorous to some, but in using characters that the audience can relate to, it is more easily said to be horrific. All in all, though it fell a little short of the hype I've been hearing, "Dream Home" is a must for any Chinese or Asian horror fans!
