One SyFy original movie is enough… Wait, the very next movie stars Eliza Dushku! Record!

I was robbed. I’m glad Dushku got a free trip to Spain out making this turkey, but Open Graves wasn’t that much fun to watch. Basically, the movie is a ripoff of the Final Destination movies. A group of adults acquire an antique board game that, as it turns out, is made out of a witch. Not made by a witch, mind you, but made out of the body of a witch killed during the Spanish Inquisition. Bet you weren’t expecting that! I certainly didn’t know Torquemada was sponsored by Mattel. So these people decide to play the game, and the ones that draw “death cards” die in the manner the cards predict, except the cards are written so obscurely it’s tough to see exactly what the connections are between the cards and the deaths. But I guess the important thing here was to ape Final Destination as closely as possible, so everyone dies in ludicrously unlikely accidents. The upside of playing the game is that if you win you can get a wish to come true, and in what I think is a gallant gesture, the final surviving character wishes the movie never happened. Thank you, but too late.
