15 Promising thriller plots with less impressive climax

8) The Open House (2018)

Trending

The movie sets up an unsettling atmosphere as a grieving mother and son move into a remote house for a fresh start. Strange events begin piling up, creating paranoia and fear. The house itself feels menacing, and the suspense keeps viewers invested. But the ending doesn’t deliver. The son dies, the mother is brutally murdered, and the killer—never identified—walks away. It feels unfinished as if the movie forgot to explain why any of it happened. A better ending could have tied the events to the house’s history or given the killer a motive, making the story feel less random.
