action
Will Atenton recently moved into a house outside the city with his wife and two daughters when he heard rumors that previous owner Peter Ward killed his family in that house and was subsequently admitted to a psychiatric ward. When Will's youngest daughter also sees a terrifying male figure in front of the window, the alarm bells go off for him. Inwardly troubled and worried about his family, he begins to research the past of the house and its residents.
During a conversation with the director of the local mental hospital, the story takes a fatal turn. He himself is that Peter Ward and after his release he took the name Will Atenton. The cozy home, his adorable wife, the adorable daughters and the stalker in front of the house are just hallucinations . He returns to his house and sees that it is indeed orphaned. Then the hallucinations start again. He lived through the death of his family as if in a dream. He then hopes for more information from his neighbor Ann Patterson. Both look very familiar. She is convinced of his innocence.
Will visits his attending psychiatrist, Dr. Fran Greeley. She had his recent release from mental hospital because there was no evidence that Will - then Peter - killed his family. Will is determined to find the killer, even if he should be himself.
Again he confronts his neighbor Ann Patterson. In a flashback, the viewer now sees the course of events. Jack Patterson - he lives separately from his wife Ann - hired a contract killer 5 years ago to have his wife killed because she refused him sole custody of their daughter after the separation. The killer mistook the house and kills Libby, Will's beloved wife.
While Will and Ann are talking in the Atenton house, Jack appears in the doorway to complete the planned deed. He beats up Will, ties his ex-wife to a gate in the basement and sets the house on fire. The dead Libby follows the events as a ghost from the background and urges her husband, whom she now calls by his real name (Peter), to wake up from unconsciousness in order to save herself and Ann from the flames. Peter brings Ann out of the burning house just in time, then he returns one more time to say goodbye to Libby and the children who are still in the house as a ghost. Jack and the hit man die in the flames.
Peter moves back to the big city and writes a book to process what he has experienced. The title is Dream House .
background
The film was shot from February to early April 2010 in various cities in Canada . Among other things, the public park Gairloch Gardens , located directly on Lake Ontario , and the Guelph train station were used. The studio recordings were made in the Pinewood Film Studios in Toronto. At a cost of $ 50 million, the film grossed $ 38.5 million again. Around 1.5 million cinema-goers were counted across Europe.
Jim Sheridan, Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz refused to promote the film because the trailer revealed too many of the film's secrets. The Morgan Creek production company was probably responsible for this. In the film itself, scenes by Morgan Creek were also re-cut on their own initiative. Because of this, Sheridan wanted to prevent his name from appearing in the credits. His request was unsuccessful.
Leading actors Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz became a couple while filming. In 2011 the two married.
Cast and dubbing
The German-language dubbing of the film was done by Christa Kistner Synchronproduktion in Potsdam. The author of the dialogue book was Carsten Bengelsdorf, dialogue director was Heike Kospach.
