I don't know why but I found the film reminded me of the Toolbox Murders, maybe it was because of the level of brutality it had, or was it the acting? Not sure.
It's a very casual first three quarters of an hour, any excuse for them to zoom in on CM Punk's body or tattoos, after that initial meander it does open up quickly, becoming quite nasty, and a little surreal, some scenes are genuinely nasty.
I can see what they attempted, giving a modern twist to a genre that has literally been done to death, they were on the right track, but it somehow missed the mark, maybe the acting needed to be better and the script a little tighter.
Some parts worked, unfortunately some didn't, 5/10.

Yes its another B horror flick and somewhat predictable, but I was drawn in by the camera work, effective use of sound and the unique choice of leading man. The supporting cast works well together, are entertaining, plus there are a few surprises as we move through the plot and home reno. My only question with so many of these haunted house movies is why don't these people ever get a home inspection before they buy?
I watched this movie based on the reviews from rotten tomatoes and the good reviews here....i made a mistake.
The movie was poorly acted and scripted. I don't care as much when a character makes dumb decisions. We live in a world where people make odd choices. The interactions were cheesy because of the script and terrible acting by the main lead. He was bad, really bad. Felt like he was doing a bad Bruce Campbell impersonation.
The story itself was ok. If you can look past the acting and bad dialogue, give it a shot.

I watched this film after seeing lots of reviews regarding how ' disturbing it was supposed to be' I just want to say for me this wasn't the case in the slightest, I jumped a few times, the acting was pretty poor, but overall I did enjoy the film haha it's just another one of those small budget horrors! It was okay!
Girl on the Third Floor is another simple haunted house premise with a twist. Is this a great film? No, of course not. But it's damn entertaining. More than that, it's absolutely insane. The third act goes completely off the rails and it's both grotesque and glorious to watch. Horror films could use more insanity these days.
It isn't scary, which is the main drawback. You know where the story is going right from the start. The details are different enough to stand out and the gore effects are genuinely gruesome, but there's no real suspense to be built. And the tone is camp as it is, so it's hard to take anything too seriously.
Then again, why should we? It's a trashy horror movie about a guy in a weird house with a hot neighbor. Why not get crazy with it? And that's what they did, and it worked for me.

- TriviaWas filmed in a reputed haunted house at 207 Center Road in Frankfort, Illinois.
- GoofsAround the 45 minute mark, Don is on the phone to Liz on a video call. He's clearly using the rear phone camera as he's showing her the freshly-decorated wall and smoothing it down, yet she sees Sarah walk across the room behind him, implying use of the front phone camera on the call.
