10 Perfect Slasher Horror Movies You've Never Heard Of

10. Dream Home

We all have our visions for that idyllic, lavish house we one day wish to live in, but just how far would you go to get that new abode? Well, for Cheng Lai-sheung, she's prepared to go to extremely brutal lengths to make sure she gets her own dream home.

Dream Home is absolutely a slasher movie, but it's that and so much more. Yes, Cheng Lai-sheung ends up killing a bunch of people, yet there's a little more to it.

As a youngster, her family was evicted from low-rent housing in order for swanky apartments to be built, giving Cheng the dream of one day buying a house for her parents that will overlook Victoria Harbour. Unfortunately, Cheng's mother dies before this can become a reality, and her father also later succumbs to an illness. Still, as an adult working two jobs, Cheng Lai-sheung does finally have enough money to buy one of these homes... only for the seller to jack the price up at the last minute.

The point being, this home is quite the big deal to Cheng Lai-sheung.

By the end of the movie, Cheng has murdered 11 residents of the apartment complex in a frenzied rage, which conveniently causes the property price to drop.
