Pam R Cabin-in-the-woods troupe with an interracial husband/wife on rough times. They have a hack ghost hunting business and take a lucrative job opportunity or they'll lose their house. They have a recently deceased daughter and the daughter comes back to haunt them. They think it's the home-owner playing a prank. Slowly the wife dives into the history of the old house, and the cult leader / magician Karlov. The husband cracks and is possessed by this magician, turning on his wife. It's a formula that worked well for Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfeiffer in 'What Lies Beneath', but with a non-existent budget and fresh actors, the slow methodical pace is hindered by obvious production issues. The strength is in the setting, which is utilized extremely well for the budget limitations. The music is also orchestrated well. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/26/25 Full Review Jamie P Absolute crap! No more needs to be said. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/09/25 Full Review pablo c Ouch folks. An hour into it and I had to shut it off. Evident that it is low budge; bad script and acting. Not sure what all the rave reviews are about. Bots? Don't do it. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/25 Full Review dolph w I can't for the life of me understand how people gave this more than 2 stars...... wasted 2 hrs of my life I'll never get back.. hoped it would get better but never did........... 🗑 🚮 🗑 Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/04/25 Full Review Kanny L Going into this with low rent expectations, it succeeds in merely existing. Acting is acceptable and camera work is capable. The use of drone footage is outside of the norm for this zero budget range. The story is simple, but stumbles with execution. More time to stew in a pot before filming, would have dramatically helped. The abundance of podcasts and social media help shed some light on this troubled production. Worth a watch. Most of the credits are one person. I'm surprised they didn't star in this as well. That would make it fall into a Neil Breen or Birdemic territory. That may have made it more watchable, but he may have had the sense to not go in front of the camera, too. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/07/24 Full Review Jake B "The 3rd Guest," a low-budget independent film from Indican Pictures, offers a surprisingly gripping narrative despite its limited resources. A slow start, some questionable sequences early on. The middle turns alright for what it is. The ending is confusing. If the tone in the middle was applied to the beginning and end, it'd be a perfect little indie film. Despite its limitations, "The 3rd Guest" succeeds in delivering a compelling psychological thriller that keeps viewers guessing until the very end. It's a testament to the creativity and ingenuity of independent filmmakers and a reminder that effective storytelling doesn't always require a big budget.
