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. That's a kind way of saying it's sort of boring.

Unfortunately, with the exception of Jonah, the rest of the characters aren't much more fleshed-out than the screeching beasties.

I thought this was very good. It's a little slow going initially but picks up and becomes less mystery and more **** 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.

Individual moments linger, but Gonzalo López-Gallego's film is merely a rough draft of a thriller.

The screenplay by Eddie and Chris Borey fails to live up to the juiciness of the original premise, lacking meaningful character development and teasing out its unveiling of its mysterious plot elements in dull, plodding fashion.

The real problem with Open Grave is that screenwriters Eddie and Chris Borey have no game plan for getting from their mysterious premise to their big reveal, which isn’t all that shocking or unexpected anyway.

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

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 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.

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