Another Take By Zac: Film Review: Dream House
Dream House is an interesting idea, not a horror film, and has no idea what to do with itself; crumbling under a ridiculous, exposition heavy, third act twist that is almost laughable. Poor and misleading marketing will make reactions to this film far worse then it deserves though, as there could have been something here. […]
