DREAM HOME is an attempt at a blaxploitation haunted house film. It was made in a pre-Katrina New Orleans which I suppose gives it an element of interest or two. The problem with this is that it was made on an extremely low budget, so much so that none of the 'normal' filmmaking qualities are present. Instead we have a few camera tricks, lots of static camera-work, and plenty of overacting from the amateur cast. It's very cheap and very unbelievable, rough around the edges, and not at all good.

what the "f" was that...Is there really no type of film association out there to decide what can be sold or rented as a movie and what can't? Not to sound privileged but I think anyone who sees this P.O.S. deserves their money back. I got this from Blockbuster and if I didn't already know those Nazi's wouldn't refund my money, I would ask for it back. I made a movie in sixth grade about my dog that had better dialog, story line and closure than this. This is the only movie that has trumped Ghost Lake as the biggest pile of crap. I mean really, do these video stores even give a crap what they're renting out anymore? Isn't this some sort of scam? Did I mention the word "crap"?

I think the credits on this movie was actually longer then the movie itself! It make the movie longer, it had about 10 minutes of credits in the beginning and about half an hour of credits at the end, and in between scenes there are LONG breaks of blackness. It had NO plot! Never explained ANYTHING! Didn't make any sense! OVERACTING in all characters! And they talked about the same thing about 9 times, and the majority of the time they just kept repeating each other: i.e. "I think I saw something and it scared me"..."You think you saw something and it scared you, you say?" I think I could have made a better movie. There are using a regular camcorder and the shots are stupid and random. The background sounds of cars is louder then the characters voices. its a good movie for a 1st timer trying to get into the movie business, but not something in video stores as a new release, or even a horror. I was bored outta my mind more then I was scared. I actually preferred cleaning then watching this movie!

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.
