This movie is incredibly distasteful. When someone is portrayed as a murderer we should feel absolutely no sympathy for them unless they kill in self-defense or perhaps even as vengeance for someone who did something equally or even more awful to them. But a woman who kills people just so she can live in her dream home? Sorry, but I'm not buying it. She kills a pregnant woman. She knocks her down, ties her up, and slowly suffocates her with a vacuum cleaner. I cannot feel any remorse for this girl when anything in her life goes wrong. In fact, throughout the whole movie I'm rooting for someone to torture and mutilate HER. Movies like "May" starring Angela Bettis portray the kind of character you show sympathy for. In that movie, she is a nice girl with a lazy eye who never had any friends and everyone takes advantage of her, mocks her, and she eventually lashes out and accidentally kills someone. She then takes revenge on a few other people who treated her poorly, and one person who did her no harm, and though we don't root for her or take her side on the killings, we can certainly feel sympathy for her. The girl in "Dream Home" deserves none. If this movie was trying to portray a message it was lost in the senseless killing. Murder can be a symbol in movies but in this it's just murder and not even in the original, understandable sense of the horror genre. It's just truly awful.
