Some say that all houses have memories. For one man, his home is the place he would kill to forget. A family unknowingly moves into a home where several grisly murders were committed ... only to find themselves the killer's next target. Successful publisher Will Atenton (Craig) quit a job in New York City to relocate his wife, Libby (Weisz), and two girls to a quaint New England town. But as they settle into their new life, they discover their perfect home was the scene of the murder of a mother and her children. And the entire city believes it was at the hands of the husband who survived. When Will investigates the tragedy, his only lead comes from Ann Paterson (Watts), a neighbour who was close to the family that died. As Will and Ann piece together the disturbing puzzle, they discover that the story of the last man to leave Will's dream house will be just as horrifying to the one who came next.

| ColeSmithey.comCole SmitheySome scripts should never be made into movies. This is one of them. |
| Screen InternationalTim GriersonDespite starting off as an intelligent, realistic treatment of the traditional haunted-house thriller, the movie gets progressively more ludicrous as it goes along. |
| Film.comEric D. SniderThere are probably some fascinating behind-the-scenes stories that would explain why Dream House is such a ruined pile of nonsense. |
| Spectrum (St. George, Utah)Bruce BennettMisdirection might be a good word to describe this psychological thriller whose twist will either delight or annoy audiences. Give it credit for the surprise. |
| AV ClubTasha RobinsonThe film's ambitions are woefully small and familiar. |
| io9.comAnnalee NewitzEven good actors in sexy clothes can't make this movie compelling. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekMore like a narrative nightmare...just lays there on the screen, attractive to look at but horribly sluggish and, in the end, almost criminally stupid. |
| MovielineStephanie ZacharekIt's painful to watch a movie like Dream House - well-acted, beautifully shot and directed with extraordinary care and attention to craft - only to realize that the story, the alleged backbone, is absurd. |
| Illinois TimesCharles KoplinskiDream House offers poignant look at madness. |
| E! OnlineLuke Y. ThompsonSo misbegotten and awkward that one has to assume there was some serious after-the-fact tampering by a committee of lunatics. |
