Skip it. 'Dream House' is a forgettable mystery thriller that squanders its intriguing premise with a convoluted plot and a twist ending that undermines everything that came before it. Even with Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz in the cast, this 2011 dud never generates genuine suspense or emotional stakes.

Plot

Publisher Will Atenton quits a lucrative job in New York to relocate his wife, Libby, and their daughters to a quaint town in New England. However, as they settle into their home the Atentons discover that a woman and her children were murdered there, and the surviving husband is the town's prime suspect. With help from a neighbor who was close to the murdered family, Will pieces together a horrifying chain of events.

Cast: Daniel Craig, Naomi Watts, Rachel Weisz, Marton Csokas, Elias Koteas
