Open Grave (2013)
6/10
Like the concept a lot
7 December 2013
A man without memory wakes up in a ditch filled with dead bodies. He climbs out and finds a house in the woods full of people without their memories. There is only one that seems to know what's going on, but she's a mute who only knows Chinese.

I like the concept a lot. Certainly I like it enough to not spoil any of it. What I didn't like was all the yelling, and all the paranoia. I understand that is what people think a tense filled thriller looks like. They really need to differentiate between the men in the movie. They all got that white man gruff face look. They all act that same paranoid angry man.

The other thing that struck me was the Chinese woman. I think it would be more logical if she was more assertive in showing the people around. She should be able to communicate better. I would have made the Chinese woman a very young girl. That way, there wouldn't be any question that she could tell them what's going on. And having a little girl always amps up the danger level. I think it's in the Horrors Handbook.
