20 Worst Movies Of 2018

10. The Open House

Netflix Original releases are a little patchy at the minute with far too many justifying the claims that direct-to-streaming releases are best considered a secondary platform where content goes because it's not quite up to the cinema. Labelling ALL of them that way is unfair, but it definitely fits this haunted house movie that wastes its cast and singularly fails to hit any of the beats you'd want from a horror.

Key performers Dylan Minnette and Piercey Dalton try admirably, but they're let down by the material, which doesn't seem to quite know what it wants to be and ends up missing being either an intriguing drama or a ghost story.

It landed in January, so expectations were probably already set pretty low, but even then it managed to feel over-long (despite being only 94 minutes) and unintentional funny rather than creepy.
