The Open House

Most of the 1 star reviews articulate the problem really well but if you're still unclear allow me to communicate it in another way.

Imagine you walked into your living room and saw Frank Sinatra playing world of warcraft. Then your neighbour came round several times and said some weird stuff to you. Then your cat takes a dump in your bed and moos at you. Then you start singing the lyrics to YMCA while Eiffel 65 is playing 'I'm blue' in the background

So you must be asking yourself, What was the relevance of sinatra and why world of warcraft? Why did my neighbour come around and what did they say? Why did your cat moo and why sing YMCA to a different tune?

The truth is...no reason at all. None of it related to anything. Pointless. No connection. Nothing

While the setting is eerie and suspenseful, the plot is thin and the ending is by far the most ungratifying experience I've had in movie watching that I can remember in recent years. And this includes a lot of the other ridiculous Netflix productions in the horror/suspense categories. Wasted part of my day off on this. Learn from my mistake...just don't.

What??? There was no ending?? It was pointless to even watch! A waste of time for the viewer.

I really don't know what happened here. It started off well, but then it just kind of fizzled. The acting wasn't bad, but the writing was. Certainly nothing original about the plot. I was really expecting more from this movie. Overall its just 90 minutes of my life that I can never get back.It almost seems like they just ran out of money and decided to just go ahead and end it.It will leave you unsatisfied and with a bunch of questions that will likely never get answered. Netflix must have acquired this movie for a bargain basement price not caring about their subscribers. Please no more recommendations Netflix

Good job Netflix! You bought total crap! After watching this I can't help but feel like the "writers" of this trainwreck are sitting in their beanbag chairs and taking turns patting each other on the back. Instead of congratulating themselves they should be taking script writing classes. This was the laziest piece of crap that I have seen in a VERY long time. "Oh! We have a great idea for a movie!...I mean...we don't have any structure and we don't have a clue how to finish it...but maybe people will think we're geniuses for just phoning in the entire ending of the movie!"

Listen...there are no spoiler alerts here. This movie is a complete waste of time. If these two morons ever hope to make another movie...maybe they should learn something about structure...plot...climax. I feel like this movie was written on a napkin at a Denny's and then left on the table and the busboy decided to make it.

It's just awful. Stay away. And pray they never make another film in their lives. There are too many talented writers and directors out there to waste any time on these two.

There...I said it.
