fact that the bank employees and a telephone saleswoman Cheng Lai-Sheung (Josie Ho) can not afford to since childhood-awaited apartment with sea view at the Victoria Bay in Hong Kong - and the although they work with two jobs to death - this is close to quadratic means to reduce the value of the property. For Suddenly several residents of the residential tower to be cruelly murdered as found.
DREAM HOME characterized above all by its incredible brutality against the background of a highly topical social criticism. Not only are destroyed as almost everywhere in China in historical sites by the so-called turbo-capitalism, but also the well-known gap between rich and poor is getting bigger, the pressure increases exponentially to the individual. There is still keeping up is hard for one of the characters of the film possible. Against this background developed Pang (EXODUS, BEYOND OUR KEN) a satirical Slasherthriller that unfolds only gradually.
The film draws especially his interesting but unfortunately sometimes jaded from looking camera, and the really incredibly cruel Gore Fest, which will here be fired. That the atrocities of the sovereign acting Josie Ho (which appears here as a producer and himself the center of the film makes - this also contributes) to run, makes the show not less.
The weaknesses of the film are just as striking. The script is intricate ways, which is initially exciting, but that with about half from its continuous jumps in time (and out of necessity eingeblendten date ads) sucks. The film is a one-woman-show, the demoted all minor characters. Childhood memories have failed far too cliché and cheesy. The scene set in urban architecture is included in the Plotfluss not satisfactory. Also on the interpretive level can be transmitted only a top-down conflict on the social situation - this is too little and remains unsatisfactory. And the main problem: the truly incredible brutality that is here but in a creative way, but it exhibited extreme. But can not find filminhärent Notwendigleit and leaves a very stale aftertaste - A cynical accusation would be very appropriate, however, DREAM HOME. The social criticism stunted as for alibi.
remains behind a film of a director, who had come to know as Auteur loving genre productions. DREAM HOME, while still genre, but still a big step toward mainstream blockbusters and event. He has no more of the Spartan reduction, for which we learned to love Pang.
