''Killer Dream Home'' is a MadeForTVMovie {{Thriller}} that first premiered on the [[{{Creator/Lifetime}}US Lifetime Network]] in March 2020. It was written and directed by [[https://www.imdb.com/name/nm3401440/ Jake Helgren]] and produced by [[https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2608927 Autumn Federeci]] and their company [[http://www.ninthhousefilms.com/ The Ninth House]].
Jules and Josh Grant (portrayed by [[https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2118666 Maiara Walsh]] and [[https://www.imdb.com/name/nm3880059 John DeLuca]]) are a happily married couple who specialise in legal property flipping. When a [[BigFancyHouse luxurious mansion estate]] in the idyllic [[{{Suburbia}} Maple Drive neighbourhood]] comes onto the market they believe they've found the ideal property to make a fortune and can't believe it when estate agent Renee Rivera ([[https://www.imdb.com/name/nm3077040 Mayra Leal]]) informs them their offer has been accepted.
Shortly after they move into their new home interior designer Morgan Dyer ([[https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2466273 Eve Mauro]]) contacts the Grants to offer her services and Jules can't believe her seemingly good fortune. However their employee Bliss Leary ([[https://www.imdb.com/name/nm4703551 Brooke Butler]]) becomes suspicious of Morgan's unusual behaviour, and it soon becomes apparent their new acquaintance is a dangerous psychopath with a deadly ambition to acquire her dream house by any means necessary.
