Daniel Craig's first James Bond film, Casino Royale, was the highest-grossing Bond film to date.

In the new thriller, Dream House, an all-star cast delves into a world of mystery and murder.

Successful publisher Will Atenton (Daniel Craig) quit a high-power job in New York City to relocate his wife, Libby (Rachel Weisz), and two girls to a quaint New England suburban town.

When the family settles into their new life, they discover their perfect home was the murder scene of a mother and her children. The entire city believes it was at the hands of the husband who survived.

When Will investigates, he's not sure if he's starting to see ghosts or if the tragic story is just hitting too close to home. His only clue comes from Ann Patterson (Naomi Watts), a mysterious neighbour who knew the murdered family.

As Will and Ann piece together the haunting puzzle, they must find out who murdered the family in Will's dream house before he returns to kill again.

Catch the mystery and drama when Dream House hits cinemas on October 20.
