The Open House (2018)

What the heck did i just watch? I need answers.. if you are reading this & planning to watch this film, don't! It's going to give you more questions in your life & waste absolutely your time.. XD I love thriller films but this has gone too far that it's way too vague.

Fmovies: It's like the makings of a good movie wrapped in a bow...then someone opened the box and woosh it all flew out willy nilly with no purpose or reason...wasted my friday night...I want that time back

Everything leading up to the end seemed intentionally misleading into absolutely nothing. Cheap scares that led nowhere. Random killer whose face they never show. Half the fun of these mystery/thriller films is trying to guess the killer. In Scream, the killers were throughout the whole movie! This one just followed a boy and his mom grieving and getting scared shitless for whatever reason. It's like a short story that got stretched into a movie that never should've happened. It may be good for a campfire story but even then not so much. It's an incomplete garbage of a movie. Awful awful awful...

...awful.

The Open House fmovies. All I can figure is the writer died of a stroke about 1/4 of the way through and Netflix said f it, let's run it like it is. This was an abomination.

I thought the movie started really good, building up to something interesting...but boy was I wrong.

Still wanna say that the lead characters were very good and acted reliably.

After like 85% of the movie I was looking forward to see how the writers was gonna tie at least some of the knots together...but boy was I wrong again.

We, the audience are left in total darkness without an answer to a single thing what so ever.

Hmm, getting tired of writing this review now so I'll stop here and go on to watch another hopefully much much more satisfying movie.

To all you moviebuffs out there...don't bother with this one. /J

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.
