The Open House

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

The Open House is a Netflix original movie and presently sits at no.55 on the IMDB bottom 100. So the IMDB community deems this to be the 55th worst movie ever made. I have to disagree, but there is no denying just how atrocious it is.

It tells the story of a mother and son who move into an open house after a tragedy befalls their family. As per the usual trope weird things begin to happen in the property.

The trouble is, well.................there are a lot of troubles but first of all the movie is..........wait, honestly I don't even know where to start here.

Awfully paced, dreadful characters you simply can't care about, a billion unanswered questions, the film ultimately goes nowhere at all! Basically the only redeeming features the film has are marginally decent cinematograpgy and a beautiful setting.

The Open House is fully deserving of all the poor ratings, it's the absolute pits.

The Good:

Beautiful location

The Bad:

Cliched to incredible levels

Unlikeable characters

Serves no purpose

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

Nothing, in fact I'm pretty sure it caused brain leakage so I've probably forgot some stuff

When I'm on my death bed and about to slip away, I'm really going to wish that I could get back the 90 minutes of my life that I lost watching this crock of shiz. I feel sorry for the actors because, apart from Martha, (what was the point of her?) they weren't to blame. It was the diabolical "writing" which let this film down. The trailer was really promising but the rest of the film was soooo pointless. Unfortunately, you don't realise this until the end. The end - what the heck was that all about?? I'm just annoyed that I didn't have an early night and save myself from the huge disappointment of watching this film. Save yourself - don't bother!

The whole consept of the film is interesting and I haven't seen something similar but there was no story at all. Not even the classic horror story that someone dies and becomes a ghost or how someone becomes a killer.

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