22 1/2 stars: boring and uneventful
By A. Boston
I watched this movie for two reasons: We love True Blood and never miss an episode, and since Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer are featured on the cover, I was mesmerized to see more of their acting. Secondly, because I work in Real Estate and thought the open house premise would be fun. Like an open house that doesn't just go bad, it goes slasher bad, awesome!

Sadly, it was a boring, run of the mill home invasion slasher/thriller. Anna Paquin was in the movie for 30 seconds, Stephen Moyer for in regards to 5 minutes tops. After checking out the back and seeing Open House was directed by Andrew Paquin, both of those cameos now make sense. What better way to draw in all those True Blood fans then to have these two on the cover?

The movie just tardily progressed, the acting was fine but not impressive. The directing was typical, not one thing defective with it. The story has already been done time and again, and they missed the chance to explore a great deal of distinguishable distinct elements of the characters. No scares, regular amount of spurting blood. I love scary movies, I'm not a big critic. I suppose some entertainment, that's in regards to it. Open House scarcely provided even that.

4For Sale - 3 Bedroom, 1 Basement Prison Cubicle
By R. Schultz
This doesn't have rather the plot that the DVD jacket suggests. Just skimming the jacket blurb, you might think this movie will be with regards to a maniac or two taking up residence in the basement of a house for sale, then creeping out at night after new occupants have taken up residence there. That sounded like a promising premise that plays into a glancing fear numerous of us might have when we consider buying a house. Did the realtor conscientiously check all the basement cubbyholes, all the closets before locking up after each Open House?

But no, that isn't rather what this movie is about. If anything, it's a reversal of that more predictable theme. In this case, the sociopaths blatantly occupy the body of the house, while the rightful proprietor gets imprisoned in the basement, left to haunt and perchance at long last challenge the intruders.

This is a movie of few words, at least on the percentage of the male sociopath. There is no burden of back-story here, no Psycho-like epilogue neatly explaining the psychopaths' behavior. This vicious duo dwells in existential space, detached in their clean, white, new surroundings. The male is a silhouette as he sits on the couch, limned by the sunlight coming in through the window behind. These two drop in from their own universe, remindful of the evil that descends in the noteworthy German film, "Funny Games." In this case though, one of the intruders has the redeeming capacity to feel numerous affection, a great deal of empathy.

But the film's overall silences are what make it more unforgettable than the intermediate maniacs-amok film. It has a trance-like, fairy-tale quality that draws the viewer into it is silent spaces, that invites the viewer to fill the vacuums.

"Open House" does include something of a twist. An further and added turn of the screw in the already corkscrew psyches of the two home invaders is revealed. The acting in this film is good sufficient even though that you might guess this twist from the beginning. It is always suggested, so it isn't dragged in like a bolt from the blue.

There's a Director/Actor commentary included in this DVD that doesn't add much to our sense of the characters' motivations, but that furnishes numerous easy, supplemental listening. Well wait - not quite. It's not rather "easy listening." Brian Geraghty, the actor who plays the male psychopath in "Open House" on occasion punctuates the commentary with a heap of shadings of dissatisfaction and even askew anger of his own that seem to be reflections, even though pale reflections, of the attitude of his fictional character. Having come off his starring role in the acclaimed movie "The Hurt Locker," he seems to infer he didn't want to do this lesser film. He wasn't happy. He wouldn't have done it except... This element of undercutting mixes in with the cutting and undercutting that goes on in the movie itself. Altogether, the quiet abberations on this DVD make this movie disquieting - and queerly fascinating.

3HORROR, GORE, AND MINUS A PLOT....
By Laurel-Rain Snow "Rain"
When I chose to watch this movie, I thought it would be something I would enjoy. Not so much....

The story follows the journeying of a divorced woman as she tries to trade her upscale home. We see a great deal of couples visiting the Open House held by the realtor.

Then one day, we are conscious that a mysterious person is going down the basement stairs, and the realtor leaves without realizing it.

Next, a mysterious couple seemingly takes over the house, after initial killing a couple of guests and tying up the woman who resides there.

From there, we catch a glimpse of one horrid scene after another, until finally, the carnage is over.

Or is it?

First, I thought that Anna Paquin would have a larger role in this film but her scenes were brief. The other actors were unknown to me, and if I'd realized that "Rachel Blanchard" was NOT "Tammy Blanchard," whose work I enjoy, I in all likelihood would not have clicked over to rent this one. Throughout, I kept marveling when there would be a huge disclose that would illumine us as to the motivatings of the killers. But not one thing presents itself. I like to comprehend why the characters behave the way they do; senseless violence turns me off.

But for those who like horror for the sake of it, there are a lot of moments that you'll enjoy. As for me, I did stay glued to the film throughout, so I guess that says something.

Definitely not five stars, though. Three, perhaps.
