THE OPEN HOUSE (2018) - Netflix's Worst Horror Movie 

You know how he was able to catch up with him at the end? Because these boots are made for walkin' Because that's just what they do

sneak: 100 illusion: 100 boots: 10000000

my dude. the dad dying was a "dad went out to get milk and never came back" joke, wasnt it?

Watching this movie is like waiting for a sneeze to happen but it never happens

I'll never forget watching this movie with my roommate when Netflix still let the audience post reviews, and us dying over a 1-star review that said "WHO??? For WHAT???? And WHY?????????"

This movie was terrible, but there was a lot more going on with 'the old woman' that nobody seems to be picking up on. The killer was living with Martha, taking advantage of her Alzheimer's and pretending to be her dead husband. Sometimes she would say he was dead, but then other times she would mention conversations she'd just had with him. "WE came to the open house." "My husband can't wait to meet the two of you." "Death...It's like it moves in and never leaves..." Considering how often she randomly shows up, the killer was probably using her to keep tabs on them. Perhaps the fact that Martha used to live in the house has something to do with why the killer is sparing her life and wanted to kill the main characters? Maybe she knows something about what's down the blocked hallway in the basement? I don't know, but it can't be anything too interesting, or they'd have put it in the fucking movie.

"Why do you tell your mother you are going to bed? Are you 6 years old?" Dude I still do this when I'm visiting my parents.

It would be funny if Evil Boots actually never meant any harm to anyone. He set up a nice table for the family, got rid of the photo of the dad to save them grief, was trying to fix the pilot light, and accidentally knocked over and killed people while trying to pick them up.

The scene where the killer takes out his contacts and then pushes him out the door so that he can chase him is one of the most ridiculously funny scenes I’ve ever seen in my life Lmaoo

Disappointed that evil boot doesn't get stepped on by bigger boot

I need 13 reasons why this movie was made

Plot twist: evil boots is Martha's husband

To me, you can make an isolated place scary (Hush is a great example) but when you try to mix 3 different horror subgenres together(psychological, supernatural and slasher), it doesn't work and you get a messy script which results in a messy movie

Maybe mom killed dad for not gettin the milk

If he hadn't forgotten the milk he probably would have left a second or 2 later and the car would have crashed into the dumpster. Always pick up the milk lads.

I remember laughing way to hard when that cereal bowl turned up and the boy just looks at it in such an intriguing way only to shrug it off

I watched this movie randomly at like 1 AM one night and I have never been so appalled at such an unintentionally bad ending.

The dad was about to return with the milk so the universe had to kill him to retain balance

This actually gives me hope, now I know that I can write a script that doesn't even make sense and Netflix will pay me for it, thanks Elvis

I remember watching this movie with my mom and how pissed I was about how nothing really happens.

I like how his body is fighting off hypothermia and he is just laying there hiding all still and quiet.

It was crazy how proud Netflix was of this movie. They advertised it for months....

The Wikipedia article for this movie refers to the villain as Evil Boots

God I fucking love the dumbass nicknames Elvis gives characters “Evil Boots” “Weird Fuck Chris”

I'm convinced that the killer is the plumber, he defiantly fits the build and plumbers wear those kinds of boots.

This whole movie could have been avoided it the dad A)Had half decent life insurance or B) REMEMBERED THE DAMN MILK

His boots give 50% additional walkspeed, and he has clothes which increase his stealth stat.

Evil Boots put all of his points in stealth.

Drinking game: take a shot everytime he says "evil" or "boots" or both

top ten horror movie villians 10. they 9. are 8. all 7. unique 6. and 5. good 4. in 3. their 2. own 1. evil boots

The reason her nose bled was because they were at high elevation. Why they included it in the movie, I do not know.

10:40 actually, I've heard of this trick where one movie tricked the viewer into thinking that character A is the main protagonist only for them to kill that character and do it again with character B only to reveal that character C is the protagonist. It's really clever but this movie doesn't have the capacity to do that.

we need a movie that explains Evil Boots origins. Where they were made, How they became Evil, and why they are so quiet

So that's why they're so perky

So that's the reason dad never came back with the milk

I have this one friend I've been watching horror movies with since *forever*. She's older and she's always been braver than me (I've always been terrified of anything horror) so she's always been the one to pick the movies, so I always thought she was some kind of all-knowing horror expert. In the last couple of years I've finally gotten over some of my fears so I've started watching some horror on my own, and I've started to enjoy some well-done horror movies. I still thought about her as *the expert*, though. Why I've written all this: the other day we were choosing a movie to watch and she wanted to watch this one cause she thought it was very good. My brain literally stopped working. My hero has fallen

i was expecting this guy to rip his eyeballs out but then he just carfully removed his contacts 🤦‍♂

There is less oxygen at higher levels so running at higher levels is actually harder. Professional runners will spend months at elevation before a marathon so that there blood is used to having limited oxygen. Thus makes them feel better during their race.

I was so bored throughout the movie that I started connocting my own versions of the film... my favourite one was that the dad was behind it all, forging his own death and scaring his son to such an extreme just to "motivate" him to run even faster than usual to set a new record or something. Like, at the end when the kid is puhsed out of the house, he starts running like hell only to find his dad by the road, stopwatch in hand. Yeah, it's dumb, but i'd take something dumb over the *nothing* that was this POS.

funfact: I did a little research on the "Ha/lf" film, and I don't think it even ever came out. I found their facebook page and their last post (April 2018) was asking for people to support their go fund me

damm, evil boots would be one hell of a private investigator

"the black guy really does die in every horror movie" This is Dad Who Forgot The Milk erasure

house? open boots? evil hotel? trivago

Turns out that evil boots is mr. Ballens, who was just generating some murder mysteries for his channel to cover. He's a former navy seal with skills. Makes more sense than anything else.

one of the characters has the same name as me, and everytime Elvis says it, my neck breaks when I turn my head to look at the screen and see what he wants from me

Moral of the story: don’t forget the milk

I think it was insinuated that the killer made a habit out of doing this regularly by sneaking into houses that were doing open houses. Did the movie do a good job of explaining this? absolutely not.

Wow holy shit, I watched that movie with my brother years ago, and I've had this suspicion that what I'm seeing looks familiar, but couldn't even remember up until you showed the ending. That's how forgettable it was.

Cinema Sins is shaking

How To Fix This Movie: 1.) There IS something supernatural going on. Logan's dad's ghost is trying to warn his family about the killer. The disappearing man in the road is him trying to stop them from reaching the house, and he appears at the end of the movie to encourage Logan to run faster to escape Evil Boots. 2.) Do more to suggest that Chris or the realtor might be Evil Boots. Maybe reveal that the guy who claims to be a realtor actually isn't a realtor at all, he just wants access to the house because he's stealing shit. 3.) Have the plumber who Naomi calls to look at the boiler turn out to be Evil Boots, and Martha's actually not dead husband. He wants revenge on Naomi's sister for selling the house because it used to belong to him and Martha, or because Naomi's sister fired him from being the house's caretaker or something.

Evil Boots is literally Joker's level of planning.

So I watch Pat D Lucky and one of his characters has a sister with boots so she calls her "witch boots". Because you kept calling the character "evil boots" it made me think of it the whole video.

Those were two different cereal bowls. The one in his room was rice krispies and the one downstairs was honey bunches of oats.

I cant believe that Boots from Dora has a evil brother

The nose bleeding.... I have that too... If I get really excited or anxious or so my nose starts to bleed, often without me even noticing it.

Evil black boots was the only person to close the freaking door during the open house.

plot twist, Evil Boots was Martha's Husband the whole time

Evil boots, he's super sneak He'll mess with you and make you weak How does he,move around the house he's like a 300 pound super mouse

I think that the pile of wood and stones was actually the entrance into the house for Evil Boots and probably was covering an exit tunnel outside the house. Logan didn't check how solid that pile was. He could have easily removed a part to enter from outside and put it back after leaving. That's why probably the police didn't find anyone when searching the house. And Evil Boots probably lived with Martha as someone said and was entering the house only at night

You are are trooper for sitting through this whole film Elvis. This looks PAINFUL.

Evil Boots is literally the most pointless villain in all movies.

"She doesn't even wear makeup" We use those mirrors to pop our zits and neurotically examine our faces.

watched this movie recently, this review is very accurate

It's actually really funny how there's like 100 different spooky mysterious omens and symbols..... and none of them have anything to do with the story at all 😂

Fun fact: the dad died because the driver had a heart attack with his foot on the gas. Total freak accident. I think they cover this in background discussion at the wake. Doesn't help the movie really be any better.

I watched this movie with my friend at his house and it was so boring we had a ten minute conversation about the FLOOR. IT WAS SO BORING THAT WE TALKED ABOUT THE FLOOR

I’m imagining the writer had decided it wasn’t going to be supernatural horror, but couldn’t find a way to make it scary without the villain having basically supernatural abilities.

I want a horror movie where the ghost of some guy from the 2000s just haunts people for the sake of gas lighting and messing with them.

This movie would have been more interesting if 'evil boots' was actually a house squatter who was actually trying to slowly kill off the family or something.

"The black guy really does die first." Except for the dad...he died in the first few minutes.

I'm surprised you missed the trope of someone walking across the woods then vanishing after one of the trees. But the plot is clear: crazy Martha said she lived in that house and misses it, meaning Evil Boots is her husband who is trying to scare the family into leaving. S8nce they're too stupid he gets so frustrated he murks them.

My family and I watched this movie around a year back, when it finish we all came to the conclusion that those few hours watching this terrible movie could of spent doing literally anything

Yeah, the only thing worse than a movie about a father dying and the surviving family members being forced to relocate due to poverty and then being murdered in their new home, is a bad movie about a father dying and the surviving family members being forced to relocate due to poverty and then being murdered in their new home. If you're gonna make a horror movie where nobody wins and everyone dies, know what you're doing ffs.

I think I have a conclusion to this whole movie. This movie is a mission from Hitman, 47 had to eliminate the dad in a accident so nothing will be suspicious. To add on to the fact that this is from Hitman- coins are only designed as a distraction so whenever someone places a coin, a random NPC will pick it up and can't purchase their item. When they come to the sp00ky house, 47 attempts to sneakily subdue the mom but since there aren’t many hiding spots like closets and all, he has to continue switching the shower’s temperature on and off for the right timing. To kill Logan, 47 threw a can but since the A.I are dipshits, they don’t react to it. The creepy woman who talks weirdly is actually one of those NPC's that reveal an ‘opportunity’ that 47 can follow. The scene where Chris died is due to getting strangled by Fibre Wire and Logan was poured in water so 47 can electrocute him with a car battery. As you were saying (referring to the RU-vidr of course), 47 is one with the *shadows* and I can assure he will get a Silent Assassin rating from this.

Just started watching your videos and I noticed you have a very similar comedic delivery and style to the Zach Morris is Trash/Very Special Episode Series, which is really awesome because the jokes are incredibly well timed.

lmao your tone of voice as you say stuff has me rolling “He breaks her fingers!” like the upwards inflection at the end of such a statement makes me chuckle 😂

Another weird thing is that Chris is a cashier at a little town surely he can’t make that much money so why would he look at a mansion that would obviously cost hundreds of thousands

I imagine this evil killer guy thinking up this plan to terrorize a family and he's just like "I got it! I'll keep turning their water heater off! How diabolical!"

Evil Boots is just the Tyrant from resident evil 2 but way quieter

evil boot is going full Dex build and abusing the dagger tree stealth abilities.

the black boots scene in the open house would be so much better if instead of the music it was the squeaky boot noise from spongebob

"She recognized the actor as the same guy who played in 1'3 Reasons Why'; a show that she really enjoyed." So we're just gonna roll right past that one huh?

The deer motif is actually a common thing in horror movies. Its meant to represent urban vs rural life and how the countryside can be creepy to people who normally live in a suburb (seen in movies like Get Out and Texas Chainsaw). This motif only happened, what, one time in thia whole movie though? I guess the directors were like oh hey thats a thing lets do that One Time to fit in

It’s crazy that you’re from NC. proud to have you

Enjoyed this more than the actual film

This video is better than the actual movie

The main reason I watch your channel is so I can perfect my own novel that I hope gets turned into a film later on.

I love that the killer could magically hide Logan's phone the same way he moved the cereal bowl, but instead they came up with a separate and completely inaccurate reason why he can't use his phone.

14 reasons why

You gotta love how Martha is just fine, but the two main characters die.

12:35 HEREEESSS JOHNNYY

Here, have a better story I though of in just 2 minutes: Martha is a ghost! She and her husband lived in the open house before Logan and Naomi, explaining her strange attachment to the house. All her creepy drop in's are her trying to subtly warn Logan and Naomi without scaring them away from her, per sa. When the Plumber drops by and Naomi asks about her, he is confused. He reveals that Martha was killed in that house and Evil Boots was her husband. He has mental issues and just doesn't want people intruding in his home. Also, remove Chris' character entirely and be more subtle about the dad's death (show, don't tell). If instead of the showing the dad's death, the film could've begun with Logan and Naomi's life struggling to cope. Instead of Chris, have Naomi's sister fill the role of emotion support for the two (character development) and come stay with them in the end and get killed by Evil Boots, and hopefully her death would mean something. I feel like the film could have been a bit better, not great, just better. OR to have Chris' character mean something, age him a bit and reveal that he IS Evil Boots. Feel free to add to or adjust this!

I swear all bad horror movie characters are like enemies in stealth games set to the easiest difficulty.

Easy explanation : He’s hacking and using sneak 1000 mods

My cousin’s friend suggested that we watch this movie because, and I quote, “I couldn’t stop thinking about it, it’s that effective!” So me and my cousins watched the movie and we actually sat down and paid close attention to as much clues and foreshadowing (that were pointless cuz none of them led to anywhere) and surprise surprise we couldn’t stop thinking, nay, talking about it because it was so dumb. So yeah we ended up advertising the movie to our friends the same way it was advertised to us.

When Evil Boots was born they couldn't tell.if the baby had been delivered or not. Hes simply too sneaky

Black Boots graduated in the top of his class in the Navy Seals. He was involved in numerous raids on Al-Quaeda with over 300 confirmed kills. He's trained in gorilla warfare and is believed to be the top sniper in the entirety of the US armed forces. What he did during this movie was just a routine training exercise put together by the very ELITE of the US government to test his skills.

I lost it when evil boots removed the dude's contacts omg

6:10 "Who still uses landlines" answer: a lot of people everywhere do - just not such old analog receivers

I remember watching this at like 5am while I was binging horror movies. It was um. an experience
