Bee Delores B-Sides & Badlands 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 Jul 11, 2024 Full Review Adrián Monserrat EscribiendoCine 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 Nov 15, 2022 Full Review Joel Fisher Battle Royale With Cheese 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 Jul 28, 2022 Full Review Tyler Doupe Dread Central Sadly, On the 3rd Day invests more in its narrative twist than it does in character development. Rated: 2.5/5 Jul 9, 2022 Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film In due course, this director may make films which really matter. This one, however, falls short. Rated: 2/5 Jul 6, 2022 Full Review Matt Donato Paste Magazine 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 Jul 6, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Cristian s 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 08/31/24 Full Review Solomon K 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/24 Full Review Hugo S 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 03/13/23 Full Review brad p Sadly, On the 3rd Day invests more in its narrative twist than it does in character development. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Cecilia (Mariana Anghileri) has had a car accident — colliding with Enrique (Gerardo Romano) who is delivering a mysterious package — and even three days afterward, she finds herself wandering a lonely road seeking her son, who disappeared in the aftermath. She soon learns that she's being accused of kidnapping her child and another accident that evening by her ex-husband Fernando (Diego Cremonesi) and Inspector Ventura (Osvaldo Santoro). Meanwhile, Dr. Hernán (Lautaro Delgado) tries to use hypnosis to help her remember exactly what happened that night. Coming from Argentina — the home of films like Terrified and The Curious Dr. Humpp — and filmmaker Daniel de la Vega, this film is full of moody dread and palpable loss. Helping it along the way are the score by Luciano Onetti (who is part of the Onetti Brothers who made Francesca and Abrakadabra) as well as cinematographer Mariano Suárez's (Daemonium: Soldier of the Underworld) eye guiding the camera. As Cecelia tries to piece together the last three days, Enrique the priest who she was in the accident with is still looking for the ancient Catholic relic that was lost in the wreckage and will do anything to get it back. It starts off slow, but stick with it. There's something here, even if it isn't perfect. Daniel de la Vega seems like someone who is going to keep putting out interesting horror, so I'll keep watching his film. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews
