Dream House Page #3

Synopsis: Some say that all houses have memories. For one man, his home is the place he would kill to forget. A family unknowingly moves into a home where several grisly murders were committed...only to find themselves the killer's next target. Successful publisher Will Atenton (Craig) quit a job in New York City to relocate his wife, Libby (Weisz), and two girls to a quaint New England town. But as they settle into their new life, they discover their perfect home was the murder scene of a mother and her children. And the entire city believes it was at the hands of the husband who survived. When Will investigates the tragedy, his only lead comes from Ann Paterson (Watts), a neighbor who was close to the family that died. As Will and Ann piece together the disturbing puzzle, they discover that the story of the last man to leave Will's dream house will be just as horrifying to the one who came next.

near the house,

and my daughters overheard,

and they're five

and seven and...

I know she didn't do it

on purpose. It's just...

I'll talk to her.

Thank you. Thank you.

That's all I'm asking.

You know, it was the

fifth anniversary

a few days ago,

and my daughter's been

having nightmares again.

I'm sorry about that.

That's awful.

Did...

Did you leave some

flowers on our porch?

Mom!

No.

What?

Hey, can I

see you for a minute?

Right.

Okay, thank you.

The house has been

empty a long time.

Um...

Yes, except we've...

We've got an infestation of

teenagers in our basement.

And you...

You wouldn't know...

You wouldn't know...

Do they live around here?

I'd like to talk

to their parents just

so I can keep them away.

Right.

I'm sorry to bother you.

Have a good day.

What are you doing?

Um...

What's going on?

I'm just covering this up.

I couldn't sleep.

What is this?

Those kids, you know?

That I...

The ones I chased off?

They left this.

"Slaughter house."

Who's Peter Ward?

Why didn't you

just tell me?

Because I didn't

want you to worry.

I just knew

we shouldn't have

moved out of the city.

Libby, don't say that.

I knew that this

wasn't gonna last.

What?

This!

There's something wrong

with this house.

No, Libby,

there isn't.

We'll do whatever it

takes, okay? We'll...

We'll hire a priest.

Hire a priest?

Where do you do that?

Well, it's...

Or a witch doctor,

whatever. I don't know.

We'll feng shui the place.

It's our house.

Hmm?

There's joy

in this house.

There's real

joy in this house.

You're in it, so...

What?

What is that

out there?

There.

Hey!

Go in!

Will?

Will!

I'm all right!

I'm all right.

Will!

Go back in the house!

Go! Get back

in the house!

Girls?

Girls!

Trish?

Dee Dee?

Girls?

Trish?

Girls?

Will?

I can't find the girls.

They're not in bed,

they're not in the garden.

I don't know where they are.

Girls, come on!

It's not funny!

Come out right now! Kids!

Did you look

under the bed?

No!

Girls, come on now,

where are you?

Trish?

Libby?

What?

Okay.

How many lumps?

One lump

of sugar, please.

Would you like any tea,

Princess Katherine?

Yes, please,

Prince Beatrice.

Okay.

What are you

girls doing in here?

Are we interrupting you?

Hello, Mommy.

Hello, Daddy.

Hello, Mommy.

We found a little

girl's clubhouse.

I see.

Wow.

Oh, my goodness me,

look at all of this.

And you're having tea?

Yep.

But we were

looking for you.

You were?

We were looking

for you everywhere.

How long have you

been in here for?

When did you

get in here?

About two hours.

What is this, baby?

Two hours.

Two hours ago?

You've been in

here for two hours?
