Josh (Stephen Moyer) and Alice (Rachel Blanchard) are getting a divorce. They opt to sell their home on their own during a buyer's market. Alice lives in the house. David does not. Alice gets the feeling someone is in her house. This was a well shot good creepy scene with the proper music. You could sense her anxiety as she calls around for her girlfriend. Unfortunately it doesn't last and the next thing we know Alice is a prisoner in her own home...during open house. David (Brian Geraghty) is our clean cut intruder who looks like a prospective buyer. Based on early events and conversations, things are a bit strange as a mystery develops. Who are these people? What do they want? Why this house and couple? Bad girl Tricia Helfer as Lila provides the token eye candy. Brian Geraghty has got that Anthony Perkins creep working for him. F-bombs, no nudity, dry humping, women kissing

Home invasion slasher about a couple of loons, immaculate, impotent David(Brian Geraghty) and sister volatile, sexy Lila(Tricia Helfer) who seem to kill the occupants of houses they move into. David makes a mistake, obviously uncharacteristic for him, he takes a hostage instead of killing her, delineating from the usual pattern, Alice(Rachel Blanchard). Lila is playful and savage, enjoys drawing blood, and will cut a person's throat without batting an eye. The only way Alice will be able to survive is if she can manipulate David into turning on Lila. The movie derives it's suspense mainly from whether or not Lila will catch David with Alice. Also, if Alice will be able to somehow get away from her captors, both David and Lila. David is a particularly interesting character because he seems absent a personality, as if a blank void replaces a soul, until we see how he reveals his feelings for Alice(although, even when we understand his blossoming desire for her, he still refrains from conveying raw emotion). Lila loves using her looks and killer body to gain an advantage over victims. There's a vicarious thrill she gets from the entire act. We see Lila invite strangers over to the house, and she seems to delight in toying with David, particularly in regards to his written work on the lap top. His resolve, the wall of calm David has built for himself, is truly tested, and clearly Lila loves teasing him. David's definitely a neat freak, everything has to be spotless and clean. What's truly warped about this brother-sister alliance is the visible incestuous side that David is resisting since meeting Alice. Lila attempts multiple times to convince David to come to her room upstairs to watch the recordings of their murderous activities(before stabbing and slicing their victims, David sets up a camcorder on a tripod to tape their gruesome handiwork)which, I guess, helps to arouse them. Anyway, OPEN HOUSE works as a psycho thriller marginally well. Don't be fooled by the cover which features TRUE BLOOD alums Moyer and fiancé Anna Paquin..they appear in minor parts, mainly because her brother Andrew directed OPEN HOUSE. Helfer is notable for her role as Starbuck from the contemporary BATTLESTAR GALACTICA. Poor Blanchard remains chained in a hole in the laundry room for most of the screen time, only let out when Lila is gone and David wants company.

A girl is trapped, by one lady and one man,who they are why they did that , you will never know ,I honestly had to read the story on IMDb to get to know what was in the movie. Secondly, The movie is boring beyond limits, still if you watch full movie in search of that you find something interesting, At the end there can be a change in the story (that is what I thought )but still the ending is like "What the hell was that" Now, the acting and dialogue, worse. There was hardly say anything. The whole movie is understandable from top to bottom. So, yourself a favor do not watch this movie.

Credit IMDb A couple on the verge of a nasty divorce attempt to sell their empty love nest and move on with their lives, separately. After a successful open house they are horrified to discover, days later, that a potential buyer didn't leave their home. While Alice is being held captive in the basement, the unannounced house guest moves in upstairs. She senses her capture is being kept a rebellious secret. She knows her way only way out if she can only get out alive. This had potential, but it just rubbed me the wrong way. I felt no sympathy for Blanchard's character, no tension, no scares, and the ending ruined some decent tension in the finale.. Performances. Brian Geraghty is OK as the conflicted psycho, but nothing more. Rachel Blanchard is easy on the eyes, but a bit disappointing in her role, while Anna Paquin probably gives the best performance. Bottom line. Annoying villains, cheap plot, and an ending that just pis*** me off, when tension was finally apparent. Give it a miss. 3 1/2 10

This is quite a slick looking low-budget entry that is nothing if not well shot. It is a combination of Slasher, Home Invasion, Psychological Movies that has nothing new to offer. A sleek vista of external pretty structures and people who can be extremely ugly internally. This is finely acted and the killings are brutal and there is an air of tension but it all seems rather vapid considering all the carnage with some incestuous carnal knowledge that is hardly explored or explained. It is so thinly written and the short running time hardly allows for much in-depth display of interesting complex psychopathy. The Movie moves along with some intrigue but it is all as anorexic as the supposedly alluring and sexy dominatrix. After all, it is worth a view for fans of perversion and playful and detached sociopaths who look like the ordinary, well groomed neighbors who may live on your block in the last house on the left. The original owners should have put a panic room in the cellar. View with low expectations and you might find this OK from a first time Director that has a better eye for architecture than the arcane or so called Cult Movies.

I thought that the acting was above average for a horror picture but there were very few tense moments in this, it could have been much more intense during the murder scenes then it was though it was done better then the typical slasher film. It was an interesting idea with a different kind of plot but there are no real surprises or twist to this movie which left me feeling just OK about this movie, there simply wasn't a wow factor or anything that makes this film stand out. the main actor is from "The Hurt Locker" and was very good as the bad guy. Overall an average movie, just not great since it really wasn't creepy or scary in anyway.

Josh and, Alice ) holds an open house to sell her home. Unknowing to her, a crazy young man named David as hide in the house, come out few hours after. Also with even more twisted Sister, they both brother and Sister sleep together in parts of this movie. Most of the time, they just dice and slice friends of Alice who been kidnapped and trapped in the basement. There were some very bloody moments in this movie but the whole movie was way to predicable The whole movie just felt bland from start to end with some good looking and decent acting. 4 out of 10

I made my husband turn it off because I can't imagine any women could be as useless and pathetic as Alice - and as an actress, she's terrible too, with that odd smirk she has she's not believable at all. Anyway home sick so I finished the movie and oh my gosh why did I waste my time! At least I was multi-tasking. I love how she had plenty of opportunities to escape or attack David and she bungles it each time, the stored bodies in the ice chests, the not-at-all nosy neighbors (should have put the house in the country or something), And finally, the end: how does someone with a steak knife in the eye have such wherewithal as Lila? And such perfect aim! As for Alice, one less breeder I say, what a milksop, your damn chain is a damn weapon! Oh but she's only had it on for a week or more, no doubt she forgot about it altogether. And that guy/friend at the end, what a complete douche - oh gee you're chained in the basement, smells like rotting death down here, you're covered in blood, a bloody woman is on the floor, you've been MIA for awhile, but what's that you're saying, R ye shuere heehaw??? OK OK just wait, let me call the police - UPSTAIRS - cause it's an emergency they get here but not an emergency that we get the F out! Come on, seriously?! Someone said it was like a high school film project, I agree, since no one seemed to take the characters, the plot, the acting or the viewers seriously! I'm willing to bet a few people (sis, sis's bf) were in this movie gratis, just to get it produced, which was a sad mistake. I don't know why I let movies get me angry, but they do, the ones that waste my time and make me feel like everyone involved must think the audience are complete Nimrods. I know there WERE some Nimrods out there that liked this movie, or at least didn't dislike it, but I'm afraid to know what movies are on their top ten list - and they probably are the first in line to see the next Saw, Final Destination, or Paranormal Activity (#3 Baby!!!!!) hahaha.

I think I'm right in saying that this is director/writer Andrew Paquin's first major outing and I'm sad to say, he's in the wrong job. There are some good to great performances here, but it's only the acting that really saves it. The characters are shallowly written, I really didn't care too much about any of them. Anna Paquin hardly gets a line, but Brian Geraghty is suitably 'disturbed'. The film is carried very much by the evil Tricia Helfer, who alone might swing the male vote in tight and revealing costumes. The plot sways from predictable to juvenile and never really raises it's game at all. The 'gore' is of a strawberry-jam level, with coy cut-aways that don't even put it in the 'Slasher' genre. The last ten minutes were interesting but by then I was looking for a knife myself.... What were the producers thinking? 3/10.

Two good-looking crazies, Lila (Tricia Helfer) and David (David Geraghty), take over the home of a recently broken-up couple, Alice (Rachel Blanchard) and Josh (Stephen Moyer), and start their reign of terror in suburbia. David stows a bruised and sedated Alice in the cellar while Josh ends up meeting his grisly end during a naughty little romp in the hot tub with Lila Loonybrains (sorry, guys, no gratuitous boobies scene). Several more mundane characters meet their demise, mostly stabbed in the neck with a kitchen knife or having their throats slit. Throughout the film, it's assumed the partners in crime are romantically involved until Lila gives her unwitting dinner guests a disturbing synopsis of the book David is supposedly writing. It's about two children living in the forest who are deceived by a magical creature that persuades them to leave their home to go to utopia. But the children can't keep up with him because he's running so fast and, soon, they're lost. Frightened and alone, they cling to each other but "they can't exactly fall in love because they're brother and sister - twins." Oookay. It's clear that Lila calls the shots. She's a psychopath, one hell of a sexy one, but her bossiness quickly becomes tiresome. All the while, the audience is wondering if David was castrated - come on, man up. Emotionless and muttering no more than a few words at a time, he's an awkward fellow to watch. A lot of cheesiness with no creepiness makes for a really lame serial killer. His one act of defiance is keeping Alice alive in a basement cubbyhole, letting her out during the day while Lila is out and about. Alice uses his fondness for her to her advantage and convinces him that she'll run away with him when the time comes. So he's not only a wimpy dullard, he's as smart as a pile of rocks. Open House is bland, empty, and really freakin' boring. I spent more time checking the clock than actually watching the movie. I had to rewind so many parts I missed because, no joke, I kept zoning out. It's not scary, suspenseful, or like many bad films can be, unintentionally funny. Because the movie's only location is the house, there are limited opportunities to introduce new victims. A more experienced director would have offered more than wasted minutes of David cooking or washing dishes and conversations that serve no purpose except as filler. And is it just me or are the aerial blood sprays too watery and unrealistic? I'm not a True Blood fan but if you are, don't rent or buy this because you see Sookie and Bill on the cover. Combined, they get no more than 10 minutes of screen time.
