Review of Open Grave (2013) by Nathan R — 23 Aug 2014
Spoiler Alert:
It was just another zombie movie. Yeah. Can't get enough of those damn zombies, can you, Hollywood?
Once this movie finished and the credits roll, you realize just how many "leads" were incredibly pointless and didn't tell you anything whatsoever. So many "red herrings" and none of them go anywhere. I mean, I guess that's the point of a red herring, but they make certain objects and characters to be or to have mysterious aspects, when they were only background objects meant to keep you hooked. It was SUCH a disappointment, that just calling it a disappointment is being generous to it.
Like I said, this was just another zombie film, exactly identical to the millions of movies it heavily borrows from. The "plot" started out intriguing enough (a man waking up in a mass grave with no memory), but then you start to understand that it's just like all of those other "I woke up with amnesia and now I have to find out who is a hero and who is an enemy" films. Which would be almost fine if it wasn't a waste of time.
Some of the acting was acceptable, but the characters, with or without memory loss, were ignorant. You rooted from them to die. And they were supposed to be scientists?
Avoid it. It sucks.
