Dream House

Movie: Dream House

Genre: Horror

Synopsis: Will Atenton (Daniel Craig) has just quit his job so that he and his wife, Libby (Rachel Weisz), and their two daughters can move to the country.  After they get into their new house, mysterious things start happening.  When Will does some investigating, he learns that the house has been vacant since a grisly murder occurred in it.  He learns of the murder from his neighbor, Ann (Naomi Watts).  When he follows some leads Will learns something that rocks his world.  To say more would give too much away.  For the rest of the movie Will tries to come to grips with the implication of what he has learned – with some assistance from Ann.

My two cents: A pretty decent horror film.  It kept my interest all the way to the end.  My only beef is with the trailers for the movie that gave away entirely too much of the plot.  I would have loved to have been surprised by the revelation Will has – but the trailer had already given it away.
