Moreover, further explanation of the development of the narrative narrative can work in two ways, so the thriller "House of Dreams" reviews the reviews with caution. The only thing that causes the bewilderment of the masses is the so-called classic "unexpected" denouement, which, for unexplainable reasons, comes about at the 40th minute of the 84-minute timekeeping picture. The move is non-standard, more than brave, but too discouraging. At the culmination point, the creators are trying to launch another intrigue, it turns out to be frankly weak.

Undoubted dignity

Reviews of the movie "Dream House" among the meritsthriller deservedly determine its visual part. The work of the inimitable cameraman Kulyab Deschanel, who demonstrated the wonders of professionalism in the "Black Horse", in "The Guys what you need", is so filigree that it itself overtakes the horror. At the very beginning, what is happening in the tape frightens not so much with cliched techniques like the creaking of floorboards and stairs, shadows outside the windows and the alarming noise coming from the cellar, and causing inflections in the color scheme. Recreating the idealistic picture is supplemented by a warm color scheme, and the first frames of the alarm that destroys it are shown in cold blue halftones.

Verdict
