Open

This is not a good movie, definitely... But it has so much love in it that it's impossible for me not to love it.

The acting is maybe the worst part and some of the script is weird, but it is a low budget independent film made with friends. It is well directed and some scene are actually excellent and the idea of the maple is very beautiful and fascinating.

I loved the soundtrack and the amount of violence is perfect.

The mask of the serial killer is gorgeous (too bad at one point it is very visible it is made of plastic).

I really enjoyed myself and I am really looking forward for new films by David Saban!

PS: the end credits are a love song to horror movies and I loved it!

This movie is a moral failure. What I mean is this movie should have never been made, I can't believe it actually was put onto any streaming service. No hate to hate actors, line delivery was fine. My issue is with the writing. The plot is actually pretty interesting, but the dialogue and execution is abysmal. Also the only black guy in the movie died immediately after his only 10 second appearance which I for one really didn't like. That happens in a lot of slasher movies so if it's supposed to be a reference or joke it's in bad taste. Also some of the content was kind of weird/fetishy if that makes sense?

By the way the cover/thumbnail is ai generated, Poorly at that. Come on david, you can do better.

Loved it! Was the first person to watch it! For being a student film with a low budget, a LOT of effort went into this. Props to the whole cast for their first film on Prime Video! I don't even watch that many horror movies, but I liked this. I think the comedy is VERY Gen-Z so it's not easy for millennials and older folks to fully understand this film. I enjoyed the argumentative side of each character and how that contrasted their softer side, specifically, the scene where ben and ricky are talking about their feelings, it really feels like you are getting to know the characters true selves instead of their masks.

I always wonder how this sort of films ever come out to see the light or be in a streaming platform, this one should've just stayed insde the school project files...sure any if this students(if this was the case) made their homework on time and this was a last minute work that reflect no effort whatsoever...total.wadte of time.

Making OPEN was a dream I've had since I first worked at a summer camp. This is my first feature film, and every frame of it was built from the ground up with creativity and more late nights than I can count. As a student filmmaker, I wanted to prove that even without a big crew or budget, you can still make something bold, scary, and personal. From building sets like the hospital to blending practical and visual effects, to composing the score myself, I poured everything I had into this film. OPEN is my love letter to the horror comedy genre, and I hope it keeps you up at night just like it did for me while making it.
