Stephanie Zacharek Village Voice Jan 7, 2014
The road to the finale is littered with dead bodies and red herrings, but Open Grave is more notable for its laid-back approach to storytelling than for its plot twists. Go to Full Review Christy Lemire RogerEbert.com Jan 3, 2014
2/4
Where the story leads is so disappointing-and hackneyed-it makes the entire journey feel like an enormous waste of time. Go to Full Review Ian Buckwalter NPR Jan 2, 2014
2.5/10
The film's aura of mystery only works in the first 20 minutes or so, when it seems effortless; after that it feels like it's working very hard to keep the truth obscured, and in so doing just becomes a colorless slog. Go to Full Review Wesley Lovell Cinema Sight Dec 16, 2020
3/4
Conventional performances cannot inhibit this twisted, creative horror feature about a houseful of guests with no memories of their past. Go to Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com Aug 29, 2019
1/5
A sterile scenario that takes entirely too much time to bring us to an ending that assumes we'll find it as nifty as it thinks itself to be. Go to Full Review Nguyên Lê The Script Lab Oct 10, 2018
As a demonstration of a director's improvement? Check this one out. As a showcase of the genre or this type of plot device? There are better choices. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Kimberly W. @Camp-kill-cry Oct 13, 2025 This was a great storyline that was poorly executed. I really wanted to love this one, but it just fell a little short for me. See more Stoner J. @Stoner Aug 25, 2025 Super underrated horror thriller mystery. It was fun figuring out who done what as the characters did, and what starts to seem like a mad scientist doing unethical experiments on people actually turns out to be something of a zombie apocalypse, pretty cool. Super bleak ending though See more Liam D @Mediawatcher2003 Apr 13, 2024 This is a horror movie where the cast is strong but the writing is so sloppy and convoluted that it makes it an frustrating bore See more Emilliano Jr S @emill_santos Mar 29, 2024 It has interesting plot but failed to exceed the expectation. See more Nakirie R @Nakirie Mar 2, 2024 Plot was so good but they missed the mark imo. It felt disjointed and hard to finish by the end. Acting was absolutely phenomenal! Such a waste of amazing actors, they were the only reason I got through it. Sharlto Copey was fantastic and Thomas Kretschmann is seriously top tier in this. Ugh I wish it was better!! So disappointing:( See more Jul 3, 2021 It was a different movie then I seen before, not a typical similar movie See more Read all reviews
