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.

The actors are actually good. It's the movie script that's lacking. No build, the ending wrapped in the last three sense and left everyone with a, huh?

If I could give this movie zero stars, I would. The ending was a total cocktease—building up to nothing. Despite the beautiful cinematography the directors need to be slapped for wasting everyone’s time, including the poor actors who actually tried. Why am I wasting my money on this garbage? Netflix should be ashamed for putting this out. Don’t bother watching.
