On the Third Day doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but it doesn’t dismantle genre tropes and conventions to rebuild into its own wily and exciting beast.

Rated: 4/5

With a frenetic, frightening pace from beginning to end and its curated atmosphere, this is one of the most mobilizing Argentinian horror films in recent years.

Rated: 8/10

You may have to be in a certain kind of mood to watch The Third Day and for those who are looking for something totally misjudged with accidental humour then go ahead

Sadly, On the 3rd Day invests more in its narrative twist than it does in character development.

Rated: 2.5/5

Eye for Film

In due course, this director may make films which really matter. This one, however, falls short.

Rated: 2/5

On the 3rd Day never coheres, it’s just Halloween Mad Libs trying to fake its way through an actual start-to-finish storyline.

Rated: 4.0/10

Otra película de terror argentina bastante digna. Si bien la historia es bastante plana y predecible la forma en la que esta contada es lo que hace que se disfrute hasta el final. Tiene lo típico de (algunas) malas actuaciones y creer que ritmo lento es suspenso con los que peca siempre el cine nacional pero al ser cortita al menos son mas aceptables. La música es demasiado copiada a Insidious y por momentos me sacaba de onda. Y el principal defecto: la escena post crédito arruina lo poético y genial que había sido el final. Mas allá de eso cumple y entretiene.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Not sure why this movie has such awful reviews. It was a solid horror film and I had no idea where it was going until it got there. It was original and well acted.

I really enjoyed this film. Well acted and a cool premise. A fresh take on an old premise anyway. I felt I wanted more at the end only to realize at this moment, the movie wasn't over. I liked the anticipation and the actual ending too. Very much worth the watch.

A woman wakes up three days later after suffering a car crash, embarking on a desperate journey to find her missing son. A hypnosis session revisits the most important flashback moments after the accident, revealing the worst fear of this mother. The narrative is overcomplicated and by the time that all the pieces come together the interest in the story is already lost.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

i've attempted to watch this movie twice & wasn't able to finish it either time - this isn't much of a review, but i won't be trying to watch it a third time.
