GOOD NIGHT IN: DREAM HOME (DVD) ***


"It doesn't take much to upset Cheng (Josie Ho): a huge residential project blocks her view of the harbour and she's pissed; not helped by her inability to save  up enough cash for her family to move in to the new complex. So what does she do? Well, first she works hard, taking on two jobs, but no matter how hard she toils, she still cannot earn enough to keep up with the ever-increasing values of Honk Kong's real estate.

Suddenly, it dawns on her; in order to get what she wants she must take matters into her own hands, which basically means going on a murder spree that should see the value of the building drop dramatically. Well, I've seen horror movies with worse motives, and Dream Home is saved by some fantastic scenes of mutilation and carnage - especially those of the look-away variety. Littered with flashbacks that interrupt the mayhem but eventually do what's required and create a sense of empathy (sort of), if you want some seriously entertaining bloodshed, look no further because this is insane."
