Nikki Baughan Roll Credits Derivative, convoluted and resolutely unscary. Rated: 1.5/5 Oct 25, 2019 Full Review Steve Dread Central As a game Open Graves is passable enough for one roll of the dice but definitely not a game with any replay value.

steve d Typical direct to video film, deeply uninteresting or scary. Dushku is completely wasted. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member I liked it opening sucked they could've added more Latin being the era the game is supposed to be from they wouldn't be speaking English but Latin. I wish it were a diverse cast Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review don s Eliza Dushku drew me to this supernatural horror movie (my favorite genre too). The story is very simple: bored teems are given a board game where the winner gets his dream come true. Turns out the losers will die like the card reads when they land on a spot called Open Graves. The two players who don't lose (they give up playing) set out to save their remaining friends from terrible ends. The game is stupid, the ending is predictable, and the villain is easy to figure out. Effects are okay. Overall, I can't recommend it. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Jumanji meets Final Destination if both films were terrible. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member No no no. I watched this? Screwed up beginning and a nice try with the wannabe like Jumanji with the board game plot. Ridiculous and stupid. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Eliza dushku what were you thinking? Cheap horror crap trying to be like one of those Asian horror films without anyone working on it with the talent to pull it off Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
