I almost didn't watch this because of the horrid reviews but thought, what the heck. I didn't have anything better to do. The budget was extremely low, the direction and editing were meh. Some of the acting was pretty lame but some was average or a little better. The storyline was very good and held my interest throughout. It even had a bit of a surprise ending. I don't know if I'll ever watch it again but I am glad I ignored the reviewers saying to stay away

That's not this movie. It's bad in everything. For some odd reason a woman is drawn to a house. They never explain why she's drawn to it. She thinks it's a beautiful house, which is fine, but they lead you on as if she's drawn to it mysteriously. The story is basic: a daughter is killed by one of her parents and the parents haunt the house along with a cat. It probably would have made sense that she was drawn to it because the daughter reincarnated into her, her spirit was inside her, or even she looked like the daughter in some way but none of those seem to be what it was and if it was, they never mention it. It's explained later (pretty much telling what happened in the previous 50 minutes in two main conversations as if it needed to be explained, and not just once but several times) that what is making the main female character experience everything dealing with the house is a crucifix necklace that was given to the daughter by her father, which she doesn't find until moving into the house so why was she having these experiences before finding the necklace? Nonsensical.It's a 70 minute movie (1 hour 10 minutes; the credits are 15 minutes long with some bloopers) that has so much dialogue that says absolutely nothing. They talk so much in this movie explaining the movie. When you get 50 minutes in they are literally explaining the movie to whomever is watching it as if it was so difficult to figure anything out! It was easy to figure everything out because throughout the entire film they kept repeating everything.The acting was horrible. If you actually watch the whole thing and see the outtakes, they spoke more like real people as just being themselves than any one time in this film. People are not talking to other people in this film, they are talking at them. There's a difference. You can also hear actors screw their lines up several times throughout such as the ghost mother on the bench in the park and the hardware guy. Speaking of the hardware guy, in the scene where he's telling the story that happened to his father, why is the camera moving all around his face?The direction was even more horrible than the acting. I don't know who was doing the camera work but I swear he or she must have fell asleep while doing it because it kept moving up and down and side to side with absolutely no rhyme or reason. They had to fall asleep from the sheer boredom.The only thing good I could say that was in this film were the bloopers at the end. I recommend just skipping to that. Unless you need something to help you fall asleep then I highly recommend the borefest of this movie that explains everything about the movie to you while simultaneously saying absolutely nothing at all.

Quite frankly, this movie is not very good. It is below not very good. It is absolutely terrible. The story seems like something that my friends and I could have come up with, in fifth grade. I don't mind the actors, though the voice and video lineup makes them seem horrible.In addition, if this movie EVER comes out with a sequel, hopefully it will not be shown in theaters either. I apologize if you made this movie, please try harder next time. And get rid of the transition. That was like something from Windows movie maker. *shudder*. this ruined the next movie we watched, called "prey". Movie festivals are good, but only for junior and high school students.From the starting BlindDate-like movie shots and bland sounds, it was love at first sight. I loved this movie. Loved it because I knew I could always have a career as a filmmaker. And be more successful than these people ever will be. I thank this movie for boosting my confidence and helping with my low self esteem problem.Thank you, Dream Home, for setting the film making standards very, very low.

I felt the movie itself would have been good if the director had really tried to focus on making a good movie. Low budget is probably what they were using. It was an excellent story for a horror movie and could have been a great horror movie. Ghost stories that aren't gory are my favorite types of movies. The movie could have been up there with The Ring, or The Grudge but it seemed like a high school video project instead of a "real movie." The plot of the story was good--but the stiffness of the acting and the lame dialog was laughable. Even though it had a certain creepiness factor, it was actually a challenge to continue watching it to the end. Maybe it will rank with the cult classics for dumb horror stories. I'll give it some points for surprising me at the end, though.
