Reviews:
“Written, produced, directed and cut by Adam Graveley, this feature debut plays a familiar game in a mostly familiar way, but makes the most of its outback setting and (largely) nocturnal camerawork to conjure a sense of feral menace.” Jonathan Hatfull, SciFi Now
“As it stands, 3rd Night ends rather abruptly, followed closely with a by-the-numbers jump scare that betrays every quiet, clever moment that’s come before. It doesn’t get nearly nasty enough as it needs to, either. Gravely is surely one to watch on this evidence, however, even if his debut suggests he hasn’t quite got a grasp of his own mythos just yet.” Joey Keogh, Wicked Horror
“McGinn and Hartburn are good with what they’re given as the pretty bland victims while Denny and Gosatti are creepy yet pathetic as the yokels. At 72 minutes, it doesn’t outstay its welcome but it doesn’t exactly have time to draw suspense strings tight either.” The Kim Newman Web Site
