A satirical film about the ‘cut-throat’ property market in Hong Kong.
Josie Ho stars as thirty-something Cheng Lai-sheung, the daughter of a dying builder. She sells home loans by phone in the day and works at a sales assistant in a fashion store in the evenings in the hope of one day being able to buy her dream home in Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbour. But when she finally has enough money for the deposit, the owners decide to raise the price. This sends her over the edge, and she embarks on a serial-killing rampage using only household and construction items to slay her prey.
Told through an intricate series of flashbacks, Dream Home will appeal to gore lovers and art house move-goers alike, with many elaborate killings. A chilling satire on the housing and economic crisis affecting Asians, the subject matter will also resonate with people slaving away in the hope of getting on the property ladder in the UK.
They wouldn’t slash the price, so she slashed them up!
