Cheng Lai-sheung, a young, upwardly mobile professional finally ready to invest in her first home. But when the deal falls through, she is forced to keep her dream alive — even if it means keeping her would-be neighbors dead.

Pang Ho-cheung’s Korean slasher Dream Home (review) is now available on DVD from MPI Home Video and it’s truly one of the better horror films of the year. Micah agrees. Read his fresh review inside or click the title above to write your own.
“When she was a child, Cheng Lai-sheung (Josie Ho) could see Hong Kong’s famed Victoria Harbour from her apartment. But as time passed, the old buildings in front of her home were demolished to make way for a huge residential project that now blocks her view. Increasingly disappointed and upset, she vowed to one day save up enough money for her family to move into a new apartment with a magnificent sea view.
In order to get what she wants, she must take matters into her own hands…even if it means getting her hands seriously bloody.”

Not to be confused with Universal’s Dream House, IFC Films is looking to release Pang Ho-cheung’s uber-violent Chinese slasher Dream Home (review) on VOD and DVD later this year. While this news isn’t all that exciting, any press for this awesomely bloody flick is deserved. Inside you’ll find a new foreign poster that’s a tad bit better than the original snoozer of art released. Hopefully IFC will announce a date soon.
