Not
knowing much about "Open Grave" definitely makes it more enjoyable.
Speaking of not knowing, John (Sharlto Copley) wakes up at the beginning of the
movie not knowing who he is, or where he is. That is of course besides the fact
that he just woke up in a huge grave. He's rescued by a group of people
who don't know who they are either. This causes immediate tension, and caution
among the group.
The
fun part about this movie is trying to figure out what is happening to these
characters at the same time as they are trying to figure it out. At first it
might have horror fans thinking it's one type of horror movie, as each
character is suspicious of the next. They know a mass murder has taken place,
and aren't sure which one of them did it, or maybe it's someone who is watching
them. Soon enough, the characters realize something else is happening, and
there are different questions that need to be answered. The audience also
realizes it's a different kind of horror movie.
To
no surprise, not all of the characters survive to see what is truly going on.
There are some decent deaths, but that isn't the focus here. It's more about
the suspense and mystery, which is perfectly constructed. Because of how well
this story unfolds, I give it 3 pools of blood.
