What's the Buzz on Dream House?
Dream House was released on September 30th. Did I see it? Hell no. I only would have seen it for free, and since nobody offered any passes, I stayed the hell away. But I checked it out on Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB to see just how poorly it did.
According to Rotten Tomatoes, critics say: "Punishingly slow, stuffy, and way too obvious to be scary." It got a 7%. Ouch. IMDB is slightly more kind, giving it a 5.8/10.
I've said it before, kids. Big names don't do good horror. You can't cast Daniel Craig and Naomi Watts and expect good scares. I mean, The Ring? Come on, prove me wrong.
It looks like October horror is completely reliant on The Thing remake, which I'm hopeful about. If it's half as good as the original it should be worth the ticket price.
So is anybody surprised that Dream House is a steaming pile?
