Can we say "Shutter Island", "The Others", or "13 Ghosts"? Daniel Craig is a family man and does it well. He has secured his ability to play a wider range of roles as a lead actor.
The movie does not bring anything new or ingenious to the field, but the story is consistent and flows. If you liked the aforementioned films, then stand in the short post-summer movie line for a ticket (at matinee price) and enjoy. Not one to miss work for, more just a back up film to sit through if your parents or friends are late to pick you up from seeing another movie at the theatre. Make sense?
There are enough interesting twists to make the movie enjoyable. It is relatively predictable, and some of the ends are not tied up, but they don't necessarily need to be. For a 10 pm screening on a Thursday before the Friday release of the film, and no press welcomed to the screening, I will gift "Dream House" 3 out of 5 Cyclones.
