Too many loopholes, too many unreasonable things

Are cops really idiots? Two cops go into the house to search and find nothing? After all, they are professionally trained people. The police actually speculated that it was a young man from nearby who came in and made such mindless remarks? The point is that the whole movie doesn't mention that there are bastard youths in this simple town? This kind of unfounded speculation is really abrupt.

It was obvious that someone had come in the house, and the son's casual words scared his mother, but the timid mother wasn't afraid at all this time? It's so unreasonable. Shouldn't people just leave under normal circumstances?

Since the father passed away, the family has no savings. Then the mother should go to work to support the family, and the son should go to study in the work-study program. What does it mean to move to a villa on the mountain to live and eat and wait to die? ? ? Just because I don't have a house to live in, I have to move to a place where the bird doesn't poop, the mother can't work, and the son can't study. This logic is too far-fetched.

Too many details to resist scrutiny. Not logical, not realistic.

Even a horror movie has to happen reasonably within the rules of the movie.

The Open House quotes

  • Chris: It's good to see some new faces. Especially pretty ones.

    Naomi Wallace: [laughs]

    Chris: I just mean the mountain folk can get a little, uh... scruffy at times. And I am not talking about the men.

  • Logan Wallace: Have you ever thought about how, like, weird open houses are?

    Naomi Wallace: What?

    Logan Wallace: I mean, you give your keys to someone you hardly know, they stand in one room and welcome in a bunch of complete strangers, and those people just roam around the house. And the realtor doesn't check the house when it's done, right? They just... turn the lights off and go?

    Naomi Wallace: Okay, well, now I'm not gonna sleep tonight.

    Logan Wallace: Maybe you *shouldn't* sleep tonight.
