Dreamhouse by Douglas Borton7/5/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() And the spirits/demons/I'm not telling will only grow more powerful in time.ĭouglas Borton combines the best elements of haunted house tales and "evil in a small town" tales here, cutting out the fat of someone like King while still having well-drawn characters to root for, and not just the Wilde family. ![]() Considering Matthew Wilde writes hit horror movies for a living, he has quite the imagination. Right from the get-go the creepiness factor is high here, as whatever is occupying the house begins to immediately torment one of the children, able to take on different forms, feeding off the fears and nightmares of the Wildes. But is it really nonsensical, or is there a hidden reason for it all? Horror screenwriter Matthew Wilde and his family have decided to vacation in this peaceful town, renting an old, strange house with crazy, nonsensical floor plans: weird dimensions and angles, hallways leading nowhere, etc. For one, these hauntings aren't limited to the house itself, but are able to spread throughout the coastal California town, to the point where no one is safe. Dreamhouse may not be all that original in concept - I mean, it is a haunted house story after all - but it's executed in a uniquely fresh and fast-moving way that separates it from most haunted house tales of the era. ![]()
