Audience Member The absolute worst movie in the last 40 years. Follows an interesting plot...then they ran out of money and ...you got this garbage, why gave this a 2 star rating, are you insane? If I gave it zero stars people would think I simply forgot. Here's what I think happened. Shady people came in said they wanted to do a movie, Netflix approved it, the funding allowed these scammers to spend a few weekends partying it up at some vacation spot. They send over half a film, mark it as a done project, the guy doing the editing snorted a line of coke, probably od'd and boom, done. Spoiler....Spoiler.... Everyone dies in the end and you never see who the killer was. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Dull and COMPLETTELY PREDICTABLE. BRIAN GERAGHTY is completely unbelievable in the role as is tricia helfer. neither come across as cold hard serial killers. avoid! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member I have to say this was the worse movie I ever seen in my life. I think I could have done a better job if I made it. You never find out anything! Why did the husband get visciously run over? Was someone living in the house that wasn't suppose to be there? Who was it? What was his motive? I was so mad that I wasted my time watching this? Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member kept you interested. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review don s A couple of serial killers (siblings, possibly?) inhabit a house and one keeps the owner of the home hidden in the basement so the other doesn't find her and kill her. Has no internal logic and is not well acted. Boring, boring, boring. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Effective in its minimalism, where the sound of a running faucet and unseen footsteps are meant to carry a sense of dread, and oftentimes they do. This rigid atmosphere gives the several quick bloody encounters an extra amplification of shock. Between Number Six on <i>Battlestar Galactica</i> and her similar-but-different role here, Tricia Helfer has perfected playing the role of manipulative seductress, while her partner Brian Geraghty portrays a silently scary psychotic all too convincingly, reinforced by his striking resemblance to the pudgy blond home invader in the original <i>Funny Games</i> right down to the collared white shirt. Their strange strained relationship provides a layer of interest rarely seen in a horror/thriller, and captive Rachel Blanchard slowly begins to see a rift that she may be able to exploit. The ending came as a surprise and rather squeezed me through a ringer. Bypassing the lone conspicuous flaw - how can this many people disappear without a search leading to their door? - <i>Open House</i> successfully creates and sustains a threatening atmosphere on a shoestring.
