Dream Home

When was the last time a movie truly shocked you? Even hardcore horror fans will have a hard time sitting through some of the scenes in Ho-Cheung Pang’s violent thriller about a young woman determined to get the condo she dreams about living in at any cost. As disturbing as the images can be in the movie, what makes it worth watching is the strong plot and even stronger acting, particularly from Josie Ho as the potential homeowner. There’s a reason she wants the home so much, and the script does an excellent job of weaving the details into the film to give you just enough information to almost forgive the girl as she stalks and brutally murders another victim. As a result, the story is almost as haunting as the graphic way it is told. Almost.
