Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Before the tedious and convoluted cyber-thriller "Open Windows" is said and done, you may feel like jumping out of one.

rotten:
A thriller with so many viewpoints, feints and fake-outs that it swiftly disappears up its own URL.
– Jeannette Catsoulis,

rotten:
The combined concepts are so high that the film resolves as Vigalondo reaches his Icarus moment, the corpse so mangled and unpleasant the project's ambition can only be identified via dental records.

fresh:
A fiendishly inventive thriller built around an audacious if unsustainable gimmick, Open Windows elevates Hitchcockian suspense to jittery new levels of mayhem and paranoia.

rotten:
The gimmick plays well from a technical standpoint, but the story requires a suspension of disbelief that only genre diehards are likely to give.
