Ready Steady Cut

A modern slasher about a young woman starting a new life after a term in prison for trying to kill her serial killer boyfriend. Excellent psychological and gory fare from Padraig Reynolds.

Rated: 3.5/5

Despite a solid central performance from Grasse and some watchable gore-soaked sequences, Open 24 Hours buckles under the weight of trying to subvert expectations...

Rue Morgue Magazine

Reynolds prioritizes shock moments over psychological acuity, and occasional implausibilities--like the roomiest gas-station bathroom you'll ever see--don't help.

Flickering Myth

A pit-stop bloodbath that attempts various narrative tricks, yet follows in footsteps that've been worn flat-and-smooth by too many other indie horror filmmakers to count.

Rated: 2/5

Eye for Film

Issues arise with the script's reliance on coincidences and unlikely decisions, but if you're willing to bear with that, this is a great example of how to make an effective film with scant resources - and a film that has something to say.

Rated: 3/5

Open 24 Hours is a good, tense film that is well-written, well-acted, and done with a good attention to detail.

Rated: 4/5

My observations: The main character isn't very sympathetic, especially when her past involvement in a series of killing is revealed. Also, someone who hallucinates to the extent that she does, wouldn't be able to function independently in society at all- she would need constant supervision. Gas station/convenience stores are often the setting for thrillers and this space is well utilized. The villain is too much of a Jason-type - indestructible, and always one step ahead of the victims. The killings are sufficiently gruesome.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

Great movie. The acting was fantastic and the production was great. Sure, besides the substance of the story being fairly straight forward, the characters were well put together, the climax had some good twists and the special fx gore was stellar. I really tried to look for flaws but didn't find an abundance enough to call it out on. Again, the cast did wonderful and kept the movie as a whole intriguing.

honestly i thought this movie was extremely terrible if you aren't the average movie watcher, it doesn't know whether it wants to be a slasher or a psychological thriller or a mystery and combines awful tropes of each into one steaming pile of mediocrity. even if i tried to look past all of that, there are WAY too many plot holes and stupid decisions from all characters that make it seem incredibly unrealistic. the worst moment is when the officer gets shot while on the radio to dispatch while the girl screams "NO!!" at the top of her lungs and no other officers show up to the scene for hours... between that and there not being a swarm of officers in the area searching for a KNOWN ESCAPED SERIAL KILLER THAT KILLED 35 WOMEN is just insane and hard to believe. top it off with all the stupid kills, the poor story, the terrible decisions by all characters, the bad reliance on psychological events and worst of all the cliche horror movie ending and you have a recipe for a waste of an hour and a half of your life. if this movie was trying to convey an actual point it seriously missed the mark. i would avoid this movie like the plague
