Open House

About This Movie

Open House (2003) is an offbeat venture into the world of real estate that spirals into unexpected territory. Tom Chase, a suave agent in Palm Springs, navigates a bizarre sale that mixes intrigue with dark humor. The pacing is a bit erratic, but that only adds to its off-kilter charm. You get this atmosphere of tension simmering just beneath the surface, almost like a thriller masquerading as a comedy. The performances have this quirky energy, especially from the supporting cast, which keeps you guessing about where the story is headed. It's not your typical real estate flick, that's for sure.

Open House hasn't seen a lot of love in the collector community, which makes it kind of a hidden gem. Formats are limited, with most copies being VHS, and those can pop up occasionally but are often overlooked. The scarcity adds an interesting layer for collectors, especially those who appreciate the oddities of early 2000s cinema. Its mix of dark humor and real estate satire gives it a unique spot in any eclectic collection.
