54 year old horror fan. I've seen it all. Nothing scares me anymore, and I'm mainly interesting in how the setup, the acting, the killings, the suspense etc. is done. More analyzing than living my self into it. Boy have I seen a lot of crab. Yes we have seen it all before, nothing new to horror movies since Samara arose from the well. However this little flick is well executed. Nice directing, nice location, good music, well acting. What is real and what is not. Taking the lead actors background into consideration it sure is a messed up mind. Yes the mirror trick is well exposed, and the killer moving from one location to another in 1 minute is unrealistic. All horror movies are unrealistic. Bear that in mind, and watch it anyway. I was entertained and didn't felt bored for a minute.

Only if you love slashers you're going to find some substance watching this movie. It has several nice deaths and the setting is pretty cool. On the other hand weak script, acting and storyline. So, overall just an OK b type slasher.

I'm a sucker for a realistic (as far as horror movies go at least) horror movie set in a very creepy location almost exclusively. 'Open 24 Hours' checked those boxes. A deserted gas station on a cold, stormy night will do just nicely. That's a great place to start from, but then you have to have an interesting premise with some remotely likeable characters that I will give a damn about. The film gets pass marks on those points narrowly. The premise was a stretch, but if you buy into it it works well enough. The characters were surprisingly strong. The main character 'Mary' was supposed to have just come out of prison, and she was nowhere near hardened enough to have done that, however I think that was important because it kept her likeable enough that I cared what her fate would be. The supporting cast were serviceable too.

There are a lot of hallucination/dream scenes in the film and it can have you asking yourself exactly what type of movie you're watching. Are you watching a girl lose her mind, or is there a genuine threat? Or is it both? Until the movie clears that up it can be a little hard to settle into exactly what you're watching for a while there.

The film's finale is its biggest strength. It was a surprisingly well put together sequence. There is some very heavy violence later in the film too, so be prepared for that if you need to be. I had a better time with 'Open 24 Hours' than I expected to. I would call it a pleasant surprise and say it is worth a look.

I'm sorry, but why is it that many lead women in horror films being chased always have to run INTO buildings as opposed to run out of them and keep running? I was yelling at this girl lead several times out of frustration. Towards the end I just wanted her to die and get it over with. It had potential and I will say the photography and sets were good. The director also did a good job with creating a creepy mood. I just can't get over some of the dumb decisions made by this girl. For that reason I give it 5 out of 10.

I think this deserves better than a 5. Okay, so it's not the most original movie I've ever seen, but it was still done pretty well. The acting was great (Brendan Fletcher is terribly underrated IMHO) and it kept me entertained. Also some really good gore, if that's your thing.

"Open 24 Hours" is a gory one-location, slasher-like, mystery-in-delusion indie horror, working decreasingly well on those levels in that order. Overall, it proved to be an all-around okay fourth horror feature from Padraig Reynolds, an indie director who seems to love the genre and his role in it.

Mary (Vanessa Grasse) has been through a lot, having escaped from the life together with a serial killer, and is now trying to start anew, still fighting trauma, paranoia and delusions. She lands a well necessary job in a remote gas station as a nightshift clerk, a place where all that can go wrong, will go wrong. The story, written to twist and turn, in the end turns out rather conventional as most of theories that came to mind took a turn to nowhere. The line between Mary's delusion and reality is continuously tried to be blurred, and everything ends in as much conclusion as in ambiguity, but in either case feeling a little underwhelming. In other words, "Open 24 Hours" 'fizzles out' towards the end as the second half gradually favors simpler tropes and actionable filler.

On the other hand, all is well in the horrors taking place in the gas station, for the entire cast provides rather nifty little performances, with the highlight inarguably belonging to Vanessa Grasse. Another satisfying and consistently good aspect of "Open 24 Hours" is its aesthetic coating, built from creative, handsome cinematography and a solid effort by the FX and make-up team. Though perhaps not in excessive amounts, gore hounds will find their desert served extra bloody. On the matters of sound, in my opinion the original score didn't really have an extraordinary touches, as it reminded lot of the musical palette used in a multitude of genre flicks. If musical scores can be described as cliché, this one kind of is.

While the set bar of technical qualities of "Open 24 Hours" never seem to diminish, the substance, or story, on a certain level, does. All in all Padraig Reynold's newest hooray in horror is an entertaining (enough) and effortful indie piece, flaws and some lesser turns included. My rating: 5/10.

Decent horror is not that easy to make. So when a small (budget) movie like this comes along, some will probably cherish it more than others. Horror is always something that is fascinating, whether you are appalled by it or drawn to it. You experience something through the eyes of the protagonist and depending on your level of attachment, you go for the fuill ride or just lean back and enjoy whatever happens on screen.

Although enjoy might be the wrong word in some cases. And this is one of them. There is more than a bit of suspense here. And there is some brutal killings. For a slasher normal and obviously since this is a movie, you can't hold it against it. If that floats your boat, you will get what you bargained for. The movie is more than decent overall

The director did a fantastic job with a simple screenplay. Its very rare to come across a decent thriller or horror nowadays. The best part is the suspense n tension throughout. Cinematography is also commendable. Inspite of the low budget, the filmmakers didn't resort to the annoying darkly lit scenes. There is no shaky cam stuff n absolutely no flickering lights. Brendan Fletcher did a decent job n has become synonym with horror films. While watching this, High Tension, I Know what u did last Summer n Adam Green's Spiral came to mind. I am very generous with a 9 cos i enjoyed it, simple. Aint no wannabe critic.

Open 24 Hours is a fine little slasher based on a really old script (or a really old concept).

It is listed as a horror but it really isn't. While it has some good gory kills it would've benefited more from in-your-face brutality, just a little more bloody mess.

While small in scale, the film is mostly well done, nothing stands out in a bad way, except for probably pacing and run time. The first 40-45 minutes are just setting things up (which gets repetitive) and it takes them quite a long time to get to the ending.

Some of the supposedly scary scenes border on being hilariously funny, like almost satire level. But it's such a thin line I can't really tell if those were made funny intentionally or by mistake.

The film is mostly ok but besides some memorable funny lines nothing really stands out.

Good for a one-time watch if there is nothing else to see.

There were a few good things to like about this movie but the plot was laughable due to multiple thriller themes going on. Instead of haunting scenes, schizophrenia scenes and actual apparent real scenes going on, the story should've just stuck with one. Tried way too hard to do too much. Disappointed

This film dragged out so long.... It was really stretched out to fit a feature film format but without the script to last the distance..... the cinematography was good though and the acting was only inconsistent due to the script probably.

This movie isn't going to be in any body's top ten anytime soon but it was surprisingly well paced and better than a lot of movies in this genre.

Says the girl 5 minutes after hallucinating and taking tablets that stop said hallucinations immediately. A girl who has apparently spent time in prison yet looks and acts like a 16 year old. A parole officer who walks in to someones house and shoves them around. All in the first 15 minutes. Off.

Does well blurring the lines between what is a ptsd hallucination and what is happening in reality. Good pacing with the main character's history slowly being unravelled throughout the first half. Some surprises along the way plot wise were great. Nothing too creative with the gore and some of the fighting scenes are very nonsensical. Not a fan of open-ended endings but overall a fine production and engaging horror film.

I don't have a lot to say here. The film was enjoyable overall. Very good cinematography and production value considering the budget. Acting was good as well! Definitely worth checking out in my opinion!

Seriously, why writers and directors even bother making such boring loop of clichés? Even the music and sound are, seems to be made with low cost stock, not because of the quality but because you heard every bit a million times before, where's your creativity guys??!! The theme's been done a thousand times before and here they don't even bother to be imaginative with the killer (this one was beyond pathetic in terms of originality) or the killings (seen the first one? they're all the same!! Where's the fun? Where's the meaning of this movie, did you enjoy making something so mediocre and stupid? Two stars and I'm being generous, they go towards the photography which is definitely the strongest point and some of the acting. I'd honestly be ashamed only to present a script like this to anyone. Low budget should push indie directors/writers to use their brains, not just copy-paste mediocre scripts and go film. What a waste of a production. What a lack of creativity. I'll mark this director/writer to avoid in the future.

Very surprised at just how good this was. Didn't have much expectation beforehand if I'm honest. This is an edge of your seat, foreboding kind of movie, where you know something awful is about to happen and the anticipation is almost too much. Lol.

Great performances and a really creepy setting. The gas station is almost a character all its own. Highly recommend this film.

It's not overly original, but the characters are. I've seen movies like this one not made half as well. I love the fact it's not another teen slasher; they've been done to death, if you'll excuse the pun.

If you're in the mood for a decent slasher movie, pick this one. You won't regret it.

Decent movie regarding a woman who had been in an abusive relationship with a serial killer, and suffers from paranoid delusions. The element of mental health is depicted well in this film, creating the twists and turns of what may or may not be occurring. The movie does well overall, but it is marred by the lamest of tacked on "final scene".

You don't go to prison for killing a serial killer in his sleep if you can't even kill him while he's awake🤦🙄
