After tackling genres like dark comedy & even family melodrama, director Pang Ho Cheung further extends the range of his filmography with the controversial slasher thriller Dream Home, also the explosive debut of 852 Films, founded by actress Josie Ho, actor-musician Conroy Chan, & Andrew Ooi. As co-producer & star, Ho takes on the role of a lifetime as a woman who will do just about anything to get her hands on her dream property. Pang
- who co-write the script with Derek Tsang & Jimmy Wan ( Isabella)
- cleverly breaks the story into fragments, inserting calm scenes of drama in between disturbing sequences of bloody carnage. Filled with disembowelments, slicing, & more ways of using household products than anyone would care to know, the films extreme violence is so intense that walkouts & faintings have been reported at screenings around the world. However, Dream Home is more than just blood & guts. Chronicling the frustrations of an average Hong Kong citizen trying to own a home in the citys out-of-control real estate market, Dream Home is as much an extremely dark comedy as it is an angry indictment of contemporary Hong Kong.
On a quiet night, a woman breaks into the prestigious No. 1 Victoria Bay residential building & brutally murders its security guard. The ensuing flashbacks reveal that the woman is Sheung (Josie Ho), an average white-collar worker trying to save money for a unit in No. 1 Victoria Bay, despite her fathers illness & the lack of support from her married boyfriend (Eason Chan). However, in a city where real estate prices continue to rise at an out-of-control pace, Sheungs opportunity is taken away by her units money-hungry owners. Determined to get her dream home, Sheung is forced to secure her home via the most extreme way possible
- by murdering those that live near the flat (played by Michelle Ye, Sin Lap Man, Derek Tsang, Phat Chan, & Juno Mak).
This edition features the Hong Kong theatrical cut & comes with deleted scenes.
