Open House (2010)

A deranged couple travel around, staying in homes which are for sale. In order not to get caught they kill the owners of the homes and move on after a few weeks. But this time, the plan seems to have changed.

Written and directed by Andre Paquin and starring Brian Geraghty, Rachel Blanchard, Tricia Helfer, Stephen Moyer and Anna Paquin.

Directed by the brother of Anna Paquin know by most as the lead in the HBO series True Blood, he seems to be taking advantage of his sister's fame in order to gain a fair bit of star power in which he uses as fully as possible to garner media attention. He even went as far as putting his sister and her True Blood co-star (Stephen Moyer) front and center of the film poster although their appearances are very minimal.

It was unfortunate that the director was unable to promote the film in a proper manner without the use of his sister, but sometimes you gotta take the easy way out which is highly unfortunate as the more popular of the cast members really took away from the actual film's leads.

If you take away the name dropping, you have yourself a decent story which is only able to hold itself entertaining for a minimal amount of time but thanks to a small twist reveal it keeps the interest up long enough to finish the film.

I did find a good portion of the scenes to be repetitive but understand that it was used to portray on of the characters traits.

Altogether it was a watchable film, but nothing to go out of your way too watch. 5 out of 10.
