Dream Home (維多利亞壹號 Wai dor lei ah yut ho, literally Victoria No.

[4] The film is the story of Cheng Lai-sheung (Josie Ho) who saves up money to buy her dream home.

In Hong Kong, Cheng Lai-sheung (Josie Ho) works two jobs with the hope of earning enough money to buy her own apartment with a view of the Victoria Harbour.

Unfortunately, because of an oversight in declaring her father's medical history, she no longer has insurance to pay for his expensive treatment and has to take a second job.

Returning to her day job, Lai-sheung receives a call from her agent saying that the owners of the flat she wishes to buy are willing to sell after all.

Lai-sheung suggests that they might want to sell for a lower price, since there were eleven murders in the building the previous evening.

The film concludes with Lai-sheung staring out at the harbor as newscasts discuss how America's worsening subprime mortgage crisis is beginning to have global repercussions.

Variety praised the film, describing it as a "deliciously dark take on the dog-eat-dog Hong Kong housing market... another slickly produced, femme-driven item from local multihyphenate Pang (aka Edmond Pang), with its intricate editing and dash of capitalist critique adding some gloss and a hint of topicality to the blood-soaked proceedings.

"[22] Screen Daily gave the film a positive review, stating that "with its clever packaging and slasher credentials, the film will be grossing out viewers on the festival circuit and home video markets for some time to come" and that "Josie Ho in the lead role is focused but a bit wooden...

"[13] Time Out Group gave the film a three out of six rating, opining that it is "rendered with tremendous style but with little narrative intrigue, it's a shame that the macabre humour gracing Dream Home's (literally) eye-popping extreme violence doesn’t extend to its portrayal of Cheng’s hardship.

"[25] Kim Newman in Empire gave the film three stars out of five stating that "there's an undeniable sense of liberation in the killing frenzy, though some scenes (the asphyxiation of a pregnant woman using a vacuum cleaner attachment) will cross a line for many.
