"The Open House" is a dull, lacklustre thriller from Netflix. I don't think Netflix understand yet that people wandering around enormous empty houses isn't very thrilling. The plot, essentially, is about a Mother (Piercey Dalton) and her son (Dylan Minnette) moving into her sisters house whilst it's up for sale in Canada (I think) after the accidental death of her husband.

Was für ein Schmonz.
What??? There was no point to this movie and the ending was beyond the worst ever. A waste of time...
