John Doyle Globe and Mail As escapism, The Open House is a good diversion, but not lacking in seriousness. Jan 22, 2018 Full Review Dax Ebaben 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 Aug 27, 2021 Full Review Emma Wolfe SpookyAstronauts This film is missing so much and it's just not right. Rated: 3/10 Apr 16, 2021 Full Review Jordy Sirkin Jordy Reviews It The Open House lacks the ability to develop itself or pay off in the end. Jan 2, 2021 Full Review Mikel Zorrilla Espinof It is a waste of time and movie of the worst quality for the Netflix catalog. [Full Review in Spanish] Aug 1, 2019 Full Review Matt Donato 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 May 24, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

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. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/02/24 Full Review Jacob M Seriously a stupid movie. Poorly writen, tries to hard to be something it's not. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/01/24 Full Review Katelyn G 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/25/24 Full Review NC J Don't see this movie. Please save yourselves Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/12/24 Full Review Jeffrey P 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, Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/27/24 Full Review Joey r Very slow moving ; unresolved ending. Pretty much a wasted hour and a half. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/11/24 Full Review Read all reviews
