00:00Hello everyone this is Paul Branson Reviews and much more and today I'm

00:07traveling back in time to 2009 this horror movie that I've never seen it's

00:14on Tubi right now or Tuba no Tubi I always say that wrong and so it's free

00:21to watch and it was an enjoyable horror movie a horror movie I've never seen

00:26maybe because when I saw the poster and just said open graves and it wasn't

00:31appealing sometimes there has to be a real appeal to a name of a movie like

00:37you hear scream like oh scream horror movie that sounds like a cool name

00:41Friday the 13th whoo that sounds like a cool name but this movie open graves

00:47yeah maybe that's how I missed it or I was doing something in 2009 that I

00:52missed now the main actress in this movie you're gonna know her from Buffy

00:58the Vampire Slayer Faith Faith the other Slayer not Buffy unfortunately but Faith

01:09to me is a great actress she's a great actress by far she's been in a lot of

01:14things and that's why I'm shocked that I missed this movie called open grave I'm

01:20really surprised actually I'm even scratching my head right now going how

01:24the heck did I miss this well let's get to it here don't watch the trailer it

01:31does give away too much and all the other actors are really good in it too

01:36some have done more acting some I've done not as much I haven't really seen

01:40the others as much as the main actress because as you know she was also in

01:45wrong turn the very first wrong turn movie that deserves a watch if you have

01:51not seen it I think that came out sometime in the early 90s if I'm correct

01:56I'll just put the poster and that in the back of me well let's get to the movie

02:02these are friends and they're surfers and they're on a trip together you get

02:08to know a little bit about them with character development very little

02:13doesn't really get deep into character development if it did I might have cared

02:18for them a little bit more but I did care for some of them so one of them

02:24decides to go for a walk and he finds this antique store and all of a sudden

02:31the owner wants to give him a game made of wood he's like okay I'll take it so

02:38now he's showing his friends this game and nobody wants to play it he's thinking

02:44he can sell it and make a lot of money off it so now they're surfing they're

02:49having a fun time there's one friend of his it's kind of a jerk and you find out

02:54at the movie when you watch it now he now notices the other woman because the

03:03other woman's not the friend the main actress that I mentioned I can't

03:10pronounce her name correctly so he notices her and they become friends and

03:16all of a sudden or maybe more than friends I'm not gonna tell you but all

03:21of a sudden they're all now having a fun time and the power goes out there's

03:26nothing to do there's a storm brewing so now the friend decides to play the game

03:33the new friend decides to play the game so they all play this game I'm kind of

03:42biting my lip a little bit because I want you to see the details when you

03:45watch it now in the game there can only be one winner so I'm like okay this is

03:51just a game thing and weird things are gonna happen no when the game ended

03:56weird things started to happen people who lost were dying and there was also

04:03a detective because there was a killer where they were doing weird things to

04:11bodies that I'm not going to say it gets right into it when you watch it from the

04:15beginning but this detective is very very smart and he goes to the kids house

04:25and there's a reason why because one of them died in a horrible way so now it's

04:34all about the board game it's all about what it is and what's truly going on and

04:42the weirdness and now the main character sees ghost and weird things happening

04:48and people are chasing him or are they again I'm not going to say anymore but

04:54it is well acted it is well put together and I'm very surprised it only

04:58has a 5.2 on IMD and on Rotten Tomatoes it's even a lower score and I'm like why

05:06this is actually a well acted and well put together movie the only thing I can

05:12think of is because a lot of there were a lot of board game horror movies that

05:18were kind of floating around and none of them are really that good at the time

05:23and maybe some people thought it was a ripoff of Jumanji they were trying to

05:27do something like that but this was good this was actually a good low-budget

05:33movie and the ending actually surprised me and that's rare for a horror movie to

05:39do I really enjoyed the acting and the characters a character development

05:45should have been a little bit more but the cinematography of the surfing and

05:49the fun they had and the costumes and the special effects were all well done

05:53so check it out open graves on Tubi I give this a 7 out of 10 it's not

06:00perfect in any way but it did keep my attention all the way through and I did

06:04care about some of the characters and I did really like what happened at the

06:09ending then maybe I'd give it a 7.5 I'm being generous because it's a

06:13low-budget movie and I do have I do like the actors quite a bit check it out

06:19open graves should be named something differently and when you watch the film

06:24you would probably agree I can't tell you the name though because I would kind

06:28of spoil it and I'm trying to keep a lid on quite a few things bye for now

06:33everyone check it out and have an incredible day and thank you for watching
