Tim H Nov 15 Absolute waste of time, you don’t find out who the killer is, the set a few red herrings but they lead to nothing. A complete and utter waste of time. See more Dustin S @NicaraguaR Nov 12 It’s getting killed in the reviews on here, probably justifiably. The kid and the mom are both excellent. The premise is pretty good too, but as others have said there is zero payoff, it’s a little disconnected, and has the makings of something better. Sometimes there’s movies that get green-lit, filmed, edited, and you just wonder how someone saw that final version and said “this is awesome”. It’s far from the worst thing I’ve ever seen, definitely not the best, wish there was a better effort here off-camera. It’s a shame. See more DJ Trev U Oct 25 A complete waste of time. Reasonably creepy set up, but there is absolutely no pay off or resolution at all. A reprehensibly poor film. Barely anything happens, which is quite eerie, but then there's a finale that resolves nothing, no answers whatsoever and it just ends. Avoid. Absolutely avoid. See more Heidi P Oct 4 Basically nothing happens, can't recommend. See more Laquitta P Sep 22 It was absolutely terrible...it should only get 0 stars but it's not allowed. See more Ricardo C Sep 22 The Open House is a thriller that promises more than it delivers. The initial premise suggests a climate of psychological tension, but the plot never quite gels. The film's ideas fall by the wayside: we have a villain with no clear motivation, whose presence is more magical than credible—capable of hiding in impossible places or locating someone in an immense forest—and clumsy protagonists with whom it's hard to empathize. The film introduces elements that seem important—such as the protagonist's endurance training—but which never again play a role in the plot. What we're left with is a story that drags on for over an hour and a half, based on cheap scares and suspicions that lead nowhere, as the killer is ultimately a complete stranger. Ultimately, The Open House is a film that could have been resolved in twenty minutes, but drags on unnecessarily, with no direction or reward for the viewer. An example of how a thriller can get lost in false leads and broken promises. See more Read all reviews
