Daniel Craig’s Taut 92-minute Thriller Is Blowing Up on Streaming

Daniel Craig’s 2011 psychological thriller *Dream House* is gaining viewers on HBO Max, reaching third place on the service’s international movie charts in several countries. Its renewed attention shows how streaming can give an overlooked film another chance to find an audience, despite its poor critical reception.

Directed by Jim Sheridan, the 92-minute film follows publisher Will Atenton, played by Craig, as he investigates the murders that took place in his family’s new home, with help from a neighbour played by Naomi Watts. Rachel Weisz also stars as Will’s wife. The film has a 7% critics’ score and a 36% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes; reviewers criticised its pacing and predictable twists.
