Regina W This had so much potential but turned out to be a complete waste of time, space, braincells and BLINKS! Hated it can I give it less that 1/2 star? Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/01/24 Full Review Taylor L Spoilers - The movie delivers on what it sets out to accomplish. It's a reminder that real monsters walk among us and anyone, at anytime can be taken by them without warning or understanding. People are reading way too into this movie with speculations of all kinds of things. I don't understand all the expectations people had going into it either. It probably doesn't turn out the way you'd like but it's true to life and what it feels like living in trauma. It shows how when you're at your worst all you want is a sense of normalcy you'll never have again, making everyone around you an offensive villain because they don't understand. Don't watch this hoping for creatures or ghosts or a story summed up in a nice little package, watch it for the feeling of never truly being safe. While we're out here living our little lives, judging each other and trying to get by there are people waiting and watching for their chance to hurt us. It's a great example of what the horror genre is about: experiencing fear in a controlled environment. It may help to know about certain serial killers and the psychology involved because people shouldn't understand them. That's the point. Crimes like these happen and we're always left asking why. Open House reminds me a lot of BTK. Isreal Keyes is another one I saw parallels with. Nothing about this movie glorifies the villain and the honesty in the film doesn't come from his expression which is rare and refreshing, especially for Netflix. Open House does a great job of taking real life fear, tragedy and cases and brutally displaying them without Hollywood Boogeymen or something that only happens in movies. This isn't a horror movie about depth but it's also not about gore, it really stands on it's own. You're being invited to observe a very small portion of three people's lives. That's it. If you're someone who has to have some wild story every time you watch something to entertain you or supplied answers to all your questions, you probably won't like it. But that's life and it's also The Open House. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/01/24 Full Review Jay A Such a waste of time. Should have never been made Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/29/24 Full Review Bryan G I was really hoping there was going to be some amazing plot twist or even some additional depth behind the reason they are being terrorized; it never came. This move is what happens when someone has a rough idea for a plot that never gets beyond being rough, rents an Air B&B for a week, and a few cameras to capture the lack of imagination and execution. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/12/24 Full Review Sci-Fi Comic A Total waste of time. Don't bother. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/10/24 Full Review Craigs L 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.
