Stephanie Zacharek Village Voice The road to the finale is littered with dead bodies and red herrings, but Open Grave is more notable for its laid-back approach to storytelling than for its plot twists. Jan 7, 2014 Full Review Christy Lemire RogerEbert.com Where the story leads is so disappointing-and hackneyed-it makes the entire journey feel like an enormous waste of time. Rated: 2/4 Jan 3, 2014 Full Review Ian Buckwalter NPR The film's aura of mystery only works in the first 20 minutes or so, when it seems effortless; after that it feels like it's working very hard to keep the truth obscured, and in so doing just becomes a colorless slog. Rated: 2.5/10 Jan 2, 2014 Full Review Wesley Lovell Cinema Sight Conventional performances cannot inhibit this twisted, creative horror feature about a houseful of guests with no memories of their past. Rated: 3/4 Dec 16, 2020 Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com A sterile scenario that takes entirely too much time to bring us to an ending that assumes we'll find it as nifty as it thinks itself to be. Rated: 1/5 Aug 29, 2019 Full Review Nguyên Lê The Script Lab As a demonstration of a director's improvement? Check this one out. As a showcase of the genre or this type of plot device? There are better choices. Oct 10, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Stoner J. Super underrated horror thriller mystery. It was fun figuring out who done what as the characters did, and what starts to seem like a mad scientist doing unethical experiments on people actually turns out to be something of a zombie apocalypse, pretty cool. Super bleak ending though Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/25/25 Full Review Liam D This is a horror movie where the cast is strong but the writing is so sloppy and convoluted that it makes it an frustrating bore Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 04/13/24 Full Review Emilliano Jr S It has interesting plot but failed to exceed the expectation. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/29/24 Full Review Nakirie R Plot was so good but they missed the mark imo. It felt disjointed and hard to finish by the end. Acting was absolutely phenomenal! Such a waste of amazing actors, they were the only reason I got through it. Sharlto Copey was fantastic and Thomas Kretschmann is seriously top tier in this. Ugh I wish it was better!! So disappointing:( Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/02/24 Full Review Sandy M Suspenseful movie that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Great entertainment! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/24 Full Review Audience Member It was a different movie then I seen before, not a typical similar movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
