Storyline
A man wakes up in a pit of dead bodies with no memory of who he is or how he got there. Fleeing the scene, he breaks into a nearby house and is met at gunpoint by a group of terrified strangers, all suffering from memory loss. Suspicion gives way to violence as the group starts to piece together clues about their identities, but when they uncover a threat that's more vicious - and hungry - than each other, they are forced to figure out what brought them all together - before it's too late.
Trust me on this one. The less you know about this movie the better.
I came across this movie knowing nothing more than the IMDb plot
summary. Hence I did not know what to expect. And that is exactly the
mindset "Open Grave" will work best for. It is hard to say something
about this movie when every statement regarding the story, characters
or structure could potentially reveal too much...
"Open Grave" is a smart movie. Its well thought out narrative structure
invites you to constantly try to solve the puzzle. This suspense is
maintained all the way until the last ~20mins of the movie. The story
and heavy atmosphere are supported by the superb acting and skilled
cinematography. It is almost impossible to not get immersed in the
movie's microcosm. There are also a few good scares and action
sequences to easy the pacing and give your brain time to relax.
