Review: "Dream Home"(2010)- written March 19, 2011

"Dream Home" is difficult to review, in part because I did not personally enjoy it. There is plenty of gore but it is not a horror movie. Like most movies to most people it did not capture my interest in the way that its trailer did. It kept feeling like it was dragging along, in a way it was a movie completely about the troubles of finding a place to live in a bad economy so I guess that's the problem. There just wasn't the same feeling for the 'dream home' the the main character had. The motives were made clear by a few long flashbacks, but it just didn't feel right being tugged in the heart to have some feeling for the main character in a movie where the trailer insists its about that they are willing to kill people to get an apartment. By the trailer, you would think that all the financial stuff would take place at the beginning but it goes throughout the entire movie, money problems Not Being my Kind of Movie to watch. The movie has three sets of scenes; killing, flashback, and financial trouble. These scene are mixed up throughout the entire movie and the killng scenes only take up a small portion of the movie. So if you want a gore movie, you definitely will get gore but you will also get plenty more of stuff you won't care about. In short, the trailer promissed killing for an outcome, when it was really about what lead up to the killing plus an outcome.
