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.

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.

Worst waste of time ever! I wouldn't recommend this abismal sophmoric attempt of a movie to my worst enemy. Netflix should do all of their overpaying customers a favor and remove this from their library. The characters were uninteresting and unlikeable. I felt relief as they were each killed. And the ending?!?!?! WTF? Who was the killer? What's up with Marla? Why role did Chris play? How did any of these characters add any value whatsoever to the plot that didn't exist? I feel pissed off. Crap like this does not deserve the light of day. If it were my choice, the movie would have been the first thing killed.
