Blu-ray Review – On the 3rd Day

For "On the 3rd Day," director Daniel de la Vega looks to transform the material into a Dario Argento-style shocker, with the Argentinian production hoping to resemble an Italian genre offering. The screenplay (credited to Alberto Fasce and Gonzalo Ventura) aims to create confusion as a way to inspire the central mystery. It's an approach that only works when the writing is top-notch, skillfully scrambling the pieces of the tale before a solution is eventually provided. "On the 3rd Day" isn't up to the challenge, keeping viewers in the dark as de la Vega pays more attention to showmanship than storytelling. He makes a stylish feature at times, but he offers nothing more than shot construction, leaving the viewing experience disappointingly empty. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
