I thought this was very good. It's a little slow going initially but picks up and becomes less mystery and more of a good horror film as it goes along. The first part of the movie is moody and creepy and the second part is suspenseful. I'mI thought this was very good. It's a little slow going initially but picks up and becomes less mystery and more of a good horror film as it goes along. The first part of the movie is moody and creepy and the second part is suspenseful. I'm not sure I understand the critics' criticisms. There isn't tremendous depth to the characters but who cares? That's not what this sort of movie is at all about. The plot twist was perfectly acceptable IMO.… Expand

Critics here on Metacritic don't seem to be too keen on this film but I definitely enjoyed it. I’m a big fan of Sharlto Copley so I went into this movie knowing nothing more than he was in it and that it was a thriller.

However, I was pleasantly surprised with the film thanks to great performances, an engaging story and a nice twist ending that takes a way too familiar genre of this day and makes it unique and new.… Expand

That's what I call a good underrated movie.Sharlto Copley is an amazing actor and he proves it in his role.The others are normal except for Thomas Kretschmann who is also really good.The story is original even if there is a lot of cliché.TheThat's what I call a good underrated movie.Sharlto Copley is an amazing actor and he proves it in his role.The others are normal except for Thomas Kretschmann who is also really good.The story is original even if there is a lot of cliché.The characters are interesting and the movie is entertaining.… Expand

Although this movie has some interesting ideas, I felt it didn't manage to push them along, since this movie ended up having more questions than answers, like they felt they didn't need to explain a lot of things that were happening and whyAlthough this movie has some interesting ideas, I felt it didn't manage to push them along, since this movie ended up having more questions than answers, like they felt they didn't need to explain a lot of things that were happening and why they were happening. The film also seems to want to be very character driven, but this fails since the characters have the depth of a kiddie pool, with Sharlto Copley's character, who does seem to get a bit of backstory; but altogether it's a somewhat solid if not pretty average flick, which could have been much better than it was, I wouldn't hate to watch it again, but I'm certainly not going to actively seek it out.… Expand

I can't say it has no potential, but there is no explanation of plot twist, it just served like that.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Μία λέξη μου ερχόταν στο μυαλό όσο πλησίαζε το τέλος της ταινίας: κρίμα!
Δημιουργείς μια τόσο καλή ατμόσφαιρα, έχεις αξιοπρεπείς ερμηνείες, διατηρείς την αγωνία του θεατή σε καλά επίπεδα και όταν έρχεται η ώρα να δώσεις τη λύση στον γρίφο, βάζεις φωτιά και καταστρέφεις το δημιούργημά σου.

Το πρόβλημα αρχίζει να φαίνεται κάπου πριν το τελευταίο ημίωρο του φιλμ, ειδικά αν έχεις παρακολουθήσει ταινίες παρόμοιας λογικής. Κάπου εκεί περνά πρώτη φορά απ` το μυαλό σου η σκέψη : «δεν θα καταλήξει πουθενά... Βλέπω το ξενέρωμα να έρχεται, αλλά ας ελπίσουμε ότι κάνω λάθος...» Δυστυχώς, όμως, το τέλος που επιλέγει ο σκηνοθέτης είναι πραγματικά αδιάφορο, ανούσιο, ανίκανο να σου προσφέρει την παραμικρή έκπληξη και την παραμικρή αίσθηση ολοκλήρωσης.

Αν επιλέξετε να παρακολουθήσετε το Open Grave, είμαι σίγουρος ότι, όπως κι εγώ αρχικά, θα απορήσετε με τις κακές κριτικές που έχουν γραφτεί, καθώς έχει όλα αυτά τα πολύ καλά στοιχεία που έγραψα παραπάνω. Το φινάλε του όμως είναι πραγματικά απογοητευτικό, ειδικά μετά τις μεγάλες προσδοκίες που σου έχει δημιουργήσει το φιλμ μέχρι τα μισά του...… Expand

A man wakes up in the wilderness, in a pit full of dead bodies, with no memory and must determine if the murderer is one of the strangers who rescued him, or if he himself is the killer. (6)
