Fright films continue to scare up distribution deals. IFC has acquired North American rights to the Hong Kong slasher film Dream Home. The film, directed by Isabella helmer Pang Ho-Cheung, will be released on the IFC Midnight label. A woman buys her dream home and can’t afford it. Despite stealing at her job, her terminally ill father’s medical expenses are ruining her. She decides to let him die and collect the insurance. When that’s still not enough, she just starts killing people to keep up with the high cost of living in Hong Kong. Release is set for early 2011.


The American remake has got be made in NY. This is a role Megan Fox or Parker Posey could fit nicely into.
Someone needs to hold a seminar in Hong Kong to teach them how to cut a decent trailer… That was painful.
Sadly, the quality of this trailer is better than the majority of the ones coming out from China/HK. The film market here has a lot of potential and room to grow, but film execs don’t have the story development skills and production people don’t have the production quality know-how to seriously compete with their Hollywood brethren.
This is a great idea and no — not New York. Make it Los Angeles. Palease.
