Dream House is a 2011 American psychological thriller film directed by Jim Sheridan from Universal Pictures and Morgan Creek Productions, starring Daniel Craig, Rachel Weisz, Naomi Watts, and Marton Csokas.

In order to cope with the grief, he fabricated a delusion in which his family is still alive and created a new identity based on his inpatient ID band "W1-1L 8-10-10".

Sometime later, Peter has returned to New York and published a best-selling book called Dream House, in which he recounts his tragic experiences.

Director Jim Sheridan reportedly clashed with Morgan Creek's James G. Robinson constantly on the set over the shape of the script and production of the film.

Christian Clemmensen, reviewer of Filmtracks.com, gave it four out of five stars, declaring it "among the biggest surprises of 2011" and stating, "It's not clear how badly Debney's work for Dream House was butchered by the studio's frantic last minute attempts to make the film presentable, but Debney's contribution does feature a cohesive flow of development that is, at least on album, a worthy souvenir from this otherwise messy situation.

"[9] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 35 out of 100, based on 16 critics, indicating "generally unfavorable" reviews.

"[12] Empire's Angie Errigo also gave it 2/5 stars, writing, "Like most of its ilk, this starts off nicely but doesn't hold up to close rational scrutiny.

"[13] Mark Savlov of The Austin Chronicle gave it 1/5 stars, deeming it "a confounding mess despite its impressive cast and director".
