A young HK woman is working two part-time jobs (as well as offering a businessman the occasional suck-n-fuck for some monetary favors) with hopes of being able to move into a flat overlooking the Victoria Harbour. It's something she's been after since her problematic childhood in which her neighborhood was marauded by sleazy land developers who ruthlessly chased people from their homes - sometimes by shoving water snakes under their doors. She even sacrifices her sickly, burdensome father just to get some extra scratch...
The back story is done via flashbacks - jumping from the 90s to the early 2000s to present day which is where the fun takes place. Because her apartment deal fell through, she goes fucking berserk and starts slaughtering the various residents in the building. This includes vicious beatings, castration, disemboweling, as well as the brutal slaying of a pregnant woman.
The contrast between these uncompromising scenes and the more reserved tone of the 'story' portion of the film makes "Dream Home" a pretty 'offbeat' and original flick, in my eyes. I guess some people were a bit confused by this when it first hit, but personally, I found it kinda refreshing to see a film with a good story AND incredibly harsh kills working so well together. I highly recommend "Dream Home". It won't disappoint a strong gore hankering you may have.
