''Open Graves'' is a 2009 horror film, directed by Álvaro de Armiñán, and starring Creator/ElizaDushku.

Seven friends find a strange board game, which is said to grant anyone who wishes a wish, but any losers will suffer violent deaths as predicted by the game. They don't believe it and start playing.

As each of the players lose the game, however, they begin dying exactly as the game predicted. Now the only way out is to finish the game and pass it on...
