‘Dream House’ Trailer Promises Non-Supernatural Twist?

Teasing at this week’s San Diego Comic-Con, Universal Pictures has unveiled the official trailer and one sheet for Jim Sheridan’s Dream House, their suspense thriller in theaters September 30 starring Daniel Craig, Naomi Watts, Rachel Weisz, Marton Csokas, Elias Koteas and Jane Alexander.

Arriving in theaters September 30 (edited down to receive a PG-13), the gorgeous poster is a massive step up from this piece of crap and features a very Shining-esque moment with a pair of twins who promise to be the “key” to the movie. Speaking of The Shining, the below trailer appears to give homage to Kubrick’s classic, along with The Amityville Horror and The Strangers. But what concerns me most is that the trailer sort of implies that everything that happens is within Will Atenton’s (Daniel Craig) head — does this mean the finale promises to have a non-supernatural twist? Barf.

Reach for the Official ‘Dream House’ Poster

The movie has been in development for what feels like a decade, so it’s not that shocking that Universal Pictures would release what appears to be a dated one sheet for Jim Sheridan’s Dream House, their suspense thriller starring Daniel Craig, Naomi Watts, Rachel Weisz, Marton Csokas, Elias Koteas and Jane Alexander. Arriving in theaters September 30, the poster features the Atenton family reaching to enter their brand new house in New England. It gets the point across, but I find it lacks in impact — it sort of reminds me of those late ’90s/early ’00s “floating heads” posters.
