A man awakes-- without memory -- in a pit full of bodies and must figure out if the people who rescued him are the killers, or if he is the murderer.

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.

Where the story leads is so disappointing-and hackneyed-it makes the entire journey feel like an enormous waste of time.

Rated: 2/4

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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:(
