This film has been in my review pile for a long while (along with "Soul Survivor") but I was only reminded of it when I saw an ad on Syfy that they'd be airing it as part of their "31 Days of Halloween."<br><br>If I'd been on the ball, an hour and a half of your life could have been saved! :)Steve Miller, Writer of Stuffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11263633883997493518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5708400289937180713.post-57433342442528924162011-11-03T18:30:29.653-07:002011-11-03T18:30:29.653-07:00I wished you had reviewed this film earlier, Steve...I wished you had reviewed this film earlier, Steve, because you would have saved me from wasting ninety minutes of my life watching it. I caught Open Graves when the film premiered on Syfy on September 19, 2009, so I didn’t even get the “advantage” of the R-rated material. I watch very few films on SyFy’s Saturday nights, but I must admit I was lured into watching Open Graves by the appearance of Eliza Dushku in the film.<br><br>You are correct in stating that Open Graves is predictable; but more unforgivably… dull. The director and that script writers have primarily written for TV and it shows. Open Graves might have made a decent hour-long episode of a TV horror anthology, but even at eighty-eight minutes it feels drawn out.<br><br>Visually Open Graves looks like it should be a quality production, but in every other facet it just feels cheap. Eliza Dushku has been in some pretty lousy low-budget horror films in the past – most notably Soul Survivors (2001) and Wrong Turn (2003) – but Opens Graves is by far her worst.Fritz "Doc" Freakensteinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13209589620766485745noreply@blogger.com
