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.

Rated: 1/5

Easily one of the stupidest movies I've ever had the displeasure of watching. If you like movies with no plot, no backstory, no rhyme or reason that absolutely makes no sense...this is the movie for you.

Seriously a stupid movie. Poorly writen, tries to hard to be something it's not.

While it has its drawbacks, I enjoyed this movie! I highly disagree with all these negative reviews. After the movie ended, I sat in disbelief, shock, and confusion, staring at the screen; I don't mean that in a bad way either. Sure, the movie has boring moments but it still kept me rooting for the main characters. I do think this is a good movie, it just didn't have the correct audience watching it.

Emotional horror with a water heater as the main antagonist against a boy and his mother, until the final fifteen minutes when we get a villain with no build-up and no motives. Finally, just a really stupid ending,

Very slow moving ; unresolved ending. Pretty much a wasted hour and a half.
