DIRECTOR Jim Sheridan's psychological thriller suffers from a nasty case of trailer-itis.
The two-minute promo gives away the entire plot of this disappointing yarn.
Will Atenton (Daniel Craig) is a successful publisher in Manhattan, who abandons the city to spend more time with his wife Libby (his real life wife, Rachel Weisz) and daughters Dee Dee and Trish in the suburbs.
While reconnecting with his family, Will plans to churn out the novel he has always promised to write. Then he learns that the family nest was a murder scene.
A mother and her brood were slain at the hands of a wrathful husband.
Ann Paterson (Naomi Watts) and her teenage daughter, who live across the street, clearly know something but are reluctant to speak. Will and Libby decide to piece together the puzzle. Alas, Dream House is more of a nightmare for everyone involved, the viewer included.
