House renovations have always been the perfect setting for something bad to happen; secrets are easily uncovered between the walls, old rumours about dead bodies come true and stress that breaks minds comes to fruition. It’s a trope that has long been used in horror films, but in modern times it seems to have become a little under appreciated, without the mention of one film that did this incredibly well; Mother! With that said, the premise for Girl On The Third Floor felt strong before it even started, but a loss of direction and a strange tone of misogyny throughout leaves Travis Stevens’ film never quite hitting the mark.
