Predictable Slasher
Rating: 5/10
After an amicable divorce, Alice (Rachel Blanchard) and Josh (Stephen
Moyer) are selling their house, using the service of their friend, the
real estate agent Carl (Gabriel Olds) that brings a couple apparently
interested in the house. Alice welcomes her friend Jennie (Anna Paquin)
that spends the night at home with her. When Alice wakes up, she seeks
out Jennie and she finds her murdered in the basement. Alice is subdue
and held captive in the basement by the psychopath David (Brian
Geraghty) that has moved to her house with his insane sister Lila
(Tricia Helfer). Sooner Alice discovers that Lila is more dangerous for
her than David, who has a disturbed crush on her. Further, the deranged
criminals are killing her friends and acquaintances. Alice also leans
that she must act as if she was in love with David to survive.
"Open House" is a predictable slasher with the story of a couple of
psychopaths that visits houses for sale with the intention of killing
the owners and spend a couple of days in the real estate, by the older
brother of Anna Paquin, Andrew Paquin, in his debut and only film. The
cameos of his sister and Stephen Moyer to promote this movie, inclusive
with their pictures highlighted on the DVD cover, are disappointing and
lure the viewer that expects to see the couple acting. Brian Geraghty
performs a typical deranged psychopath with no surprises and the story
gives the sensation of déjà vu, with the usual clichés of the genre and
the classic open conclusion with Lila visiting another house. My vote
is five.
