Derivative, convoluted and resolutely unscary.

As a game Open Graves is passable enough for one roll of the dice but definitely not a game with any replay value.

Typical direct to video film, deeply uninteresting or scary. Dushku is completely wasted.

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.

Jumanji meets Final Destination if both films were terrible.

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.

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
