At the core, it has a fantastic premise and something that has great potential. What does a disservice to that is the poor performances and the overwhelming ignorance of the characters, that just go beyond believability.

This movie is an absolute goopy squicky and dare I say sexy blast

| Jul 2, 2021

A solid chiller, a loose, fun, gooey twist on a haunted house yarn, "Girl on the Third Floor" uses horror as a metaphor for toxic behaviors and relationships.

| Original Score: B | Jun 26, 2020

Stevens shows that he is ready to earn his chops in the directors chair and it's easy to get excited about what he plans to tackle next. Girl on the Third Floor has a lot of heart and some of it might be bleeding out right on the living room floor.

Travis Stevens creates an atmosphere of machismo therapy as Don reasserts his place in his family by taking a sledgehammer to a house.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 4, 2020

Girl on the Third Floor oozes atmosphere as it tells a disturbing and sticky tale of morality.

| Original Score: 8.5/10 | Feb 28, 2020

A noble but frustratingly uneven attempt to revitalise stale haunted house conventions with pressing social currency.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 23, 2020

While still relying on some of the tried and true "white people in a haunted house" tropes, Girl on the Third Floor is a fresh and fun addition to the genre.

| Jan 21, 2020

The renovations needed here have nothing to do with the house.

The audience knows where the movie's going, and gets there before the movie does. Nonetheless it bodes nicely for longtime horror producer Travis Stevens, here making his feature debut behind the camera.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Dec 4, 2019

'Tis the season for full-body scares, and indie horror producer Travis Stevens' spirited directorial debut is overflowing with some impressively icky and disquieting ones.

| Nov 21, 2019

A morality tale, in which the protagonist grapples with his own treatment of women through his relationship to the house, in all its moaning, marble-dripping, oozy glory.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 1, 2019

Overall, the acting is pretty solid..., but what really takes Girl on the Third Floor to the next level (pun intended!) is the fantastic array of practical effects.

| Oct 29, 2019

A compellingly campy haunted house flick that borrows heavily from elements of The Shining while effectively breathing some new life into other horror movie tropes.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 29, 2019

This is a haunted house movie that I actually enjoyed a lot... It's kind of a fun look at gender dynamics.

| Oct 28, 2019

Girl on the Third Floor is so much more than a haunting film.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 26, 2019

Puts a DIY spin on the haunted house genre, with an energetic and darkly comic style that evokes a weird alternate reality in which Sam Raimi directed The Money Pit.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 25, 2019

The impressive haunted house flick Girl on the Third Floor is just as much a machine to produce seductive imagery as it is an effective deconstruction of those blatant symbols.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Oct 25, 2019

Still, the film's bifurcated structure is cumulatively effective, especially given that it re-centers the narrative on a wronged woman, rather than her thoughtless, rage-filled man.

| Oct 25, 2019

The third act ... simply doesn't work.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Oct 25, 2019
