Last Updated on July 30, 2021

A trailer and poster for the Argentine horror thriller On the 3rd Day have arrived online, courtesy of genre specialist sales outfit Black Mandala. The trailer is embedded above, and you can check out the poster below.

A Del Toro Films and Furia Films production, On the 3rd Day was directed by Daniel de la Vega from a screenplay by Alberto Fasce and Gonzalo Ventura. The story centers on "a mother who will do the impossible to find her son, even if it costs her to go through Hell itself". Here's the synopsis: 

Cecilia and her son embark on a journey. On the third day, she is found wandering alone, not remembering what happened during this time. She is desperately looking for her son and finds herself wrapped in a brutal hunt, carried out by a religious fanatic, whom she faces off against. To her, he's a lunatic. To him, Cecilia is the enemy.

The director said his film tells 

a terrifying story that grows both in suspense and strong emotions at all times … causing the truth of the film to be revealed in an absolutely unexpected climax, a climax that will be like a dagger to the heart of each spectator."

On the 3rd Day stars Moro Anghileri, Gerardo Romano, Lautaro Delgado Tymruk, Osvaldo Santoro, Diego Cremonesi, Octavio Belmonte, Mathias Domizi, Verónica Intile, Arturo Bonín, Sergio Boris, Rodolfo Ranni, Susana Beltrán, and Pochi Ducasse, with a special appearance by Osmar Nuñez.

Daniel de la Vega produced the film with Néstor Sánchez Sotelo.

Judging by the trailer, On the 3rd Day looks like it will be able to provide an unnerving viewing experience, so we'll be keeping an eye on this one as it moves toward distribution.
