“Dream Home is a brutal and unflinching look at the lengths one woman will go to achieve her dreams. The film masterfully blends dark humor with shocking violence, making a poignant statement about the housing crisis in Hong Kong. Josie Ho delivers a compelling performance as Cheng Lai-sheung, capturing both her vulnerability and her descent into madness.”

“A unique slasher film that offers more than just gore. Dream Home provides social commentary on the absurdity of the real estate market, wrapped in a narrative that’s both horrifying and darkly comedic. The juxtaposition of Cheng’s mundane daily life with her gruesome actions is both jarring and thought-provoking.”
- Maggie – ★★★★½
“This film is a wild ride from start to finish. The creative kills and the satirical take on property ownership make Dream Home stand out in the horror genre. It’s a bloody critique of societal pressures and the obsession with status symbols. Not for the faint of heart, but definitely worth the watch.”
