Just about watchable. This movie had moments just not enough of them. Some good suspense scenes but too many long periods with nothing happening. I think most people will feel let down when it's over. A real pointless movie.

Just rancid. Absolutely no entertainment value whatsoever. One of the worst films I have ever seen. Unadulterated Arse Gravy.

I swear on my life, this may very well be the most pointless movie I have ever seen in my 49 years, 4 months and 9 days of existence. I am completely in awe that anyone would believe that this was worthy of public consumption. Nothing happens for the first hour of the movie, and then, in the last third, well, nothing happens. I take it back, I was scared out of my wits when the bad guy continually turned off the pilot light on the hot water heater causing the shower water to go cold. Yes, this is the scariest thing that happens. Scene after scene appears to be trying to build mystery and suspense, but there is literally no payoff. Again, nothing happens. Absolutely pointless! I'd love to go into more detail, but this is one of those very rare instances where I'm actually encouraging you to watch this just to get your reactions. That being said, it's rather hard to spoil something that has nothing worth spoiling. Minnette is a very talented young man, and I've been watching his career ever since he starred as Holly Hunter's son in the TV series SAVING GRACE. I just hope he got a decent pay day for this drivel. Seriously, though, if you have a free 90 minutes with nothing to do, put this on and tell me what you think.

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]

Dread Central

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