As a person with a right mind i would say not as far as the main character Sheung go but that not really the case here cause for Sheung it not just a dream home but also her life goal as well.Sheung is a hard working girl there no doubt about it and the more you know about her the more you want her to archieve her dream although the methor she uses very wrong and sadistic.Blood and guts gonna spilled everywhere in this extreme horror movie from Hong-Kong so hold on tight to your sit and remember do not eat or drink before watching Dream Home

Well executed.
flashbacks serve well .
when theres gore, it is for accenting the horror and it is very gruesome.
some black humor .
main actress fit well in the well written dialogues.
worth 8 + for a very good gory drama wt black humor and well directed

Positives: The violence is superbly done. The fact the killer's a woman drives the violence. Being frequently overpowered by her victims forces her to be creative. The killing is never easy. Brutally graphic blood and guts is balanced well with dark comedy.Negatives:Jumping back and forth through time is often confusing.The claim that it's based on a true story is a complete fabrication.Bottom Line: This is a brutal and stylistic film.The story is interesting enough although the jumping through time is a little jarring at first, but the real fun happens when Cheng Li- Sheung is murdering her way through apartments. The violence is unforgiving, interspersed with dark comedy that's much needed when the action is this brutal. This film is certainly not for the faint of heart. Cheung is forced to get creative as things go wrong and the action is pushed beyond the point of believability – something I believe is needed when the effects are this good. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie, and some of the scenes stayed with me long after I had seen it.

"Dream Home" has been a title I've been waiting to watch since it's release. Most reviews I had read pinned it as a "darkly hilarious" satirical horror film with high levels of style and gore. The style and gore are there alright, but as far as humor is concerned, I was a little let down. The film does have it's quirks and witty lines, not to mention a few "so-bad-it's-good" effects, but it didn't quite live up to the reputation that I had known it for. That being said, the film is shot beautifully and uses a wide variety of creative shots and transitions. It plays with the time-line well and develops Cheng's character at a very nice pace. Many of the deaths are drawn out and disturbing, which would make this a difficult film to watch if the effects were done with more care. Some over-the-top gore may be humorous to some, but in using characters that the audience can relate to, it is more easily said to be horrific. All in all, though it fell a little short of the hype I've been hearing, "Dream Home" is a must for any Chinese or Asian horror fans!
