I hate Craig's Bond and in general, he's always been a bad actor in my opinion. But he was good in Dream House.
DO NOT READ FURTHER IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE MOVIE!!
The twist is that Craigs character Will is really Peter Ward, whose family was shot by mistake. And in order to protect himself he has created Will and a fantasy world where his family is alive and well. But at the same time his wife and two daughters are more than just figments of his imagination. They are actual ghosts.
The truth is that the neighbor hired a man to kill his wife because he thought she was cheating on him. And the man he hired went into the wrong house and killed Peters wife and kids instead.
Ever since then Peter has been committed to a mental institution, thinking he killed his own family. But eventually he he is released for lack of evidence. Peter then goes back to the house and slowly finds his way back to reality.
It all ends with the neighbor trying to kill his own wife and Peter. But he and the man he hired ends up dead, shot and burned to death in that order.
Next time we see Peter he's normal again and has written a book about what happened that has become a nr. 1 bestseller. How he was able to proof his innocence when the guilty men died makes no sense. Maybe if the movie had another ending or it had been 15 minutes longer it could have been explained better.
It was an interesting movie but it suffered from a bad ending and to many things left unexplained.
