Movie Review – Girl on the Third Floor (Netflix)
Movie Blurb:
Don Koch tries to renovate a rundown mansion with a sordid history for his growing family, only to learn that the house has other plans.
My Review:
Characters
Somewhat interesting characters that end up falling a bit flat based on personality and judgment calls.
Plot
Extremely interesting at first, but by the end I was nonplussed based on the plot holes present.
Flow
Flow was alright, but the plot dragged this down with it.
Overall Impression
I wanted to like this movie, really I did. But in the end, it was just okay for me.
I heard about this movie from my friend Priscilla (if I remember correctly), though she did warn me about some of its shortcomings.
I think the movie started off well, with something of a creepy vibe as this tattooed guy (who is quite attractive btw) started fixing up this old house, but as things progressed I just didn’t care for it. I feel like the plot was predictable, and very early on, I called some of the big reveals way down the line.
The main characters’ relationship was extremely flawed, so much that I didn’t really understand how they stayed together. I understand these relationships do exist, but I didn’t really care for it.
In the end, it was watchable, but I can’t necessarily recommend this to anyone if you’re looking for a good watch. Oh well, better luck next time!
Final Score
5/10

Yep, you pretty much hit the nail on the head. I (mostly) enjoyed the movie, though, despite its flaws. I just had to appreciate it as a low budget film with some fun (gross) scenes and some creepy vibes.
Yeah, it was entertaining for what it was, I was just hoping for more.
Definitely some interesting elements, and who doesn’t love a haunted house vibe?
I was getting excited to watch it until I read your review. Hubby won’t watch horror movies with me anyway.
Aww, maybe you should still give it a shot. You might like it more than me.
