Open House - 1987

Jofer Jeff saved me again on a night where I wanted an inconsequential, by the numbers blah as fuck horror film.  And this is so damn unknown and uninteresting I can hardly find anything about it online.  So, win!

Adrienne Barbeau is in this?  Wow!  We start the movie with an extremely subpar, soft core porn type feel.  Idiotic 80's women are being murdered as they tour open houses in some vague suburban town somewhere.  Yes, that is in fact the entire plot of this movie.  It's pretty great, really.  In the meantime, there is a local radio show that's a suicide prevention Life Line type call in thing, and they're receiving occasionally weird calls from maybe the killer.

It's got some interesting deaths, it has some terrible acting, it has lots of bizarre clunky writing factors that go into it, and suffice to say it's NOT GOOD.  Pacing was weird, acting is hit and miss, the killer at the end was kind of a dumb sequence.  Yeah, I dunno.  And yeah, we're keeping a short review this time.  I gotta pay attention to Amityville 3D which is on right now.  1 star.
