Open 24 Hours

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

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 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.

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.
