Daniel Craig's Taut 92-minute Thriller Is Blowing Up on Streaming

Daniel Craig has long been recognized as a top-notch leading man in Hollywood, particularly when it comes to action films and suspense thrillers. His career outside the James Bond franchise has been impressive, with notable roles in movies such as Layer Cake, Knives Out, and The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. However, with the upcoming search for a new Bond actor, Craig's other works have been getting a fresh look from fans.

One such movie is Dream House, a psychological thriller from 2011 directed by Jim Sheridan. Though it didn't receive great reviews when it first came out, it is now climbing the international movie charts on HBO Max. The film stars Daniel Craig as Will Atenton, a successful publisher who relocates his family to a quiet New England town, only to find out that the house was the site of a brutal murder.

As Will digs deeper, he uncovers unsettling truths about the house, with the help of his neighbor, Ann Patterson, played by Naomi Watts. Despite its poor reception at the time, with a 7% critic score and a 36% audience score, Dream House is gaining attention on streaming platforms once again.
