Movie Review! Dream House





Will Atenton retires from his position as a successful editor to pursue the dream he always wanted by writing a novel and spending time with his family.  As he and his family adapt to their new home, they soon discover their house was the scene of a brutal series of murders.  As Will investigates what happened in their home he uncovers a dark secret that has been buried for years.

Daniel Craig stars as Will Atenton with Rachel Weisz co-starring a Libby.  Naomi Watts, Elias Koteas, and Marton Scokas co-star in this movie directed by Jim Sheridan.

Dream House isn’t an original ghost story but it is an effective one.  The actors make or break a movie and this one had fine performances all around.  The plot was a bit predictable as was the ending but that didn’t dissuade me from liking the movie very much.  I enjoyed watching it and was very happy that Netflix had it streaming!  With the weather getting colder, this is a great Saturday afternoon movie.
