Review of Girl on the Third Floor (2019) by Kuehnau — 02 Apr 2020

I love horror movies, can't get enough of them. Since my state recently put in a shelter order due to Covid-19, I've been simply binge watching a ton of horror movies on streaming sites like NetFlix, Hulu and Shudder. The Girl on the Third Floor is a intresting concept, it's a slow burner, cinematography is excellent and the special effects are good. It's pretty much a body horror film. Unfortunately these only take the film so far. At some point I just started to get bored with the film, the over all story just feels like it drags on and on. It doesn't help that there are a few scenes that last far too long and wear out their welcome quickly.

The ending ends up also completely ruining the film. Which is arguably one of the most important points of a film, especially horror films. Intrigue and special effects only take a film so far, the story has to drive it home and this film completely missed the mark.
