DREAM HOUSE (2011) ** Daniel Craig, Rachel Weisz, Naomi Watts, Elias Koteas, Martin Csokas, Taylor Geare, Claire Geare, Rachel G. Fox, Jane Alexander, Brian Murray. Ghost story about an upscale editor (Craig in a low-key decent performance) whose family's move into a new home in the secluded country discovers some dark secrets about the abode (i.e. it's haunted) and whether or not if he may or may not have killed off his family (!!) faces a moment of clarity when he learns of his reality not being as he truly perceives. Shades of "The Twilight Zone" and "JACOB'S LADDER" and yet scribe David Loucka keeps you guessing until the dismal third act which feels completely pre-fabricated by committee hence veteran helmsman Jim Sheridan's 11th hour attempt to remove his name from the credits (!!!)
