VOD: Girl On The Third Floor (dir: Travis Stevens, 2019)

"You might end up regretting it."

We have seen the story of bargain-house-with-dodgy-past slowly inflicting supernatural unpleasantness on its new owners so many times, but Girl On The Third Floor makes The Amityville Horror look convincing by comparison.  There is very little to surprise or scare here, and C.M. Punk as the renovating husband is rarely more than adequate, which is unfortunate as he is on screen throughout.  There are early moments that suggest a grounded feel of Barker's original Hellraiser, but even if you keep patience to the end, that promise is not delivered.
