Open Grave (2013)
7/10
Treads familiar grounds with a refreshing approach.
2 January 2014
Boasting a cast including the fantastic Sharlto Copley from District 9, Open Grave hits the ground running with a great opening and keeps you guessing quite a bit as to what's going on. The entire cast were very good and considering such an accomplished movie viewer as myself hadn't figured things out within the first twenty minutes that was a good sign. The progress of the story is well paced and the style is gritty and quite violent at times. It's a smart enough movie in a world where that's a rare thing. It does cover some familiar ground however is all wrapped up and executed under a fresh feeling approach enough to have it result in a very enjoyable thriller/horror flick. Reminded me much on the fantastic and cinematic video game The Last of Us. I actually would really like a sequel to this, although I doubt that'll happen.
