As escapism, The Open House is a good diversion, but not lacking in seriousness.

Bloody Disgusting

There is a kernel of a decent, if unoriginal, idea here. However, the execution is subpar, there is hardly any build-up of tension, and there is never a decent payoff.

Rated: 1.5/5

The Open House lacks the ability to develop itself or pay off in the end.

It is a waste of time and movie of the worst quality for the Netflix catalog. [Full Review in Spanish]

A nameless villain, doomed nice guy, woefully unaware plot advancement - all the worst horror cliches found in one rage-quit worthy misfire.

Good acting, nice scenery, but didn't feel that the plot was very well developed. To me, it was a complete waste of time.

One of the worst ever. My girl and I still make fun of it. But worth watching if you wanna make jokes for a few hours along the way.

PLEASE DON'T WATCH, YOU CAN'T GET BACK THE TIME WASTED ON THIS. A waste of time start to finish. This director shouldn't be allowed to direct again and if they wrote the script they need to only do manual labor the rest of their lives and do nothing creative EVER again. 1. Alzheimers woman serves no purpose 2. When the mom is accidentally stabbed you don't care about her at that point so it has no real impact 3. Round out your story lines and details. Absolutely dreadful, I'd rather be forced to watch paint dry, no sound, no movement, nothing for six hours than watch that "movie" again.
