	Author	Review
United States	Alec Bojalad Den of Geek	"[It] was probably never destined to be a good film due to the inherent limitations of its premise (...) Beyond some minor technical accomplishments, however, 'The Open House' is truly awful (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Greg Wheeler The Review Geek	"The unresolved ending tops off an underwhelming experience and the over reliance on jump scares wears thin quickly"	NEG
United States	Daniel Hart Ready Steady Cut	"'The Open House' has the usual generic tropes of a 90-minute horror (...) It is offensive that [Netflix] feels their audiences are so easily pleased."	NEG
Canada	John Doyle The Globe and Mail	"As escapism, The Open House is a good diversion, but not lacking in seriousness"	POS
United States	Dax Ebaben Bloody Disgusting	"The execution is subpar, there is hardly any build-up of tension, and there is never a decent payoff (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Brian Costello Common Sense Media	"It doesn't take long to see that the overuse of genre clichés (...) reveals an amateurish ineptitude that might lead the viewer to wonder if they're being ironic (…) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"	NEG
