Julia W @julka22 5d SO HORRIBLE. I genuinely wish i could go back in time and save myself from watching this. It is genuinely so dragged on and so boring. Pls don’t waste your time. See more TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch Dec 30 The Open House is a film that has been unfairly dismissed, and while it is far from perfect, it succeeds in doing what many horror films fail to do: create lingering unease. The screenplay has flaws and leaves certain ideas underdeveloped, but the atmosphere is genuinely unsettling. This is the kind of movie that makes you double-check locks, glance down hallways, and feel uneasy in your own home long after it ends. Dylan Minnette delivers a grounded, believable performance that holds the film together. His quiet tension and restrained fear feel natural rather than exaggerated, which helps sell the paranoia baked into the story. The casting overall works well, and the isolated setting adds to the creeping sense that something is wrong, even when nothing obvious is happening. The Open House is more about mood than payoff, which is where many critics turned on it. A darker, developed script could have elevated it, but the film remains effective as a slow-burn psychological experience.

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 Read all reviews
