Jumper actually has a fascinating concept - a character who can instantly transport himself from one place to another. Unfortunately, this promising idea is executed rather poorly. The film focuses heavily on flashy jump-editing sequences while overlooking the logical implications that should underpin such a fantasy world.
Imagine if someone genuinely teleported in a crowded public space such as an airport or a railway station - it would cause chaos, make headlines, and become the talk of everyone who witnessed it. Yet the film never explores consequences on that scale. If the character had instead chosen to jump from enclosed or hidden places - like a toilet cubicle, a storage room, or an empty corridor - viewers might have been drawn in more, perhaps even wondering, "could such jumpers really exist, and has it been kept secret by powerful groups?".
Sadly, because the teleportation is presented in such a careless and unrealistic way, the fantasy element that could have been so intriguing ends up losing its sense of wonder.

I wouldn't recommend spending time on this film. The low rating already reflects its overall quality, and I agree with other reviewers who have pointed out its shortcomings.
The story lacks a solid plot and feels more like a draft than a finished script. At times, it seems as though the idea was taken from a high school creative writing exercise rather than a carefully developed screenplay. The result is a film that struggles to build suspense or deliver a satisfying horror experience.
While The Open House had potential as a Netflix original, it ultimately feels underdeveloped and fails to provide the tension or payoff viewers would expect from the genre.

This film prioritizes individual conflicts over storytelling about dinosaurs. When prehistoric creatures do appear, they are depicted poorly, with low-budget effects. The storyline is weak, divided into several game stages, but the missions and struggles in each stage are unclear. Poor visual effects, bad story.
