... that the horror film Girl on the Third Floor is an "intriguing spin at toxic masculinity"? Source: "What do you get when you cross an ex-wrestler with a dilapidated house that might be alive? You get an intriguing horror spin at toxic masculinity" (

ALT1: ... that the horror film Girl on the Third Floor is all about a bad man paying for his behavior? Source: "It’s all about a bad man paying for his behavior and, thusly, the actions that his misogynistic forbearers committed decades ago, and when that bad man is played by Phil Brooks, it becomes infinitely more interesting."

Jack Sebastian: I've been scrolling past these hooks for a bit now and they've never really sat with me. Even though they come from reviews of the film, I almost think ALT0 needs quotation marks around "intriguing spin at toxic masculinity" to not sound promotional. ALT1, to be quite honest, is not very interesting at all. The article is a new enough and long enough redirect conversion. There are some places that might need inline citations; though it's kind of hard to cite the plot, the festivals section has no citations at all. I'd like to see some citations in those areas and maybe those quotation marks on the hook. You have fewer than five credits, so you are QPQ-exempt. I'm also going to float an ALT2:

I've added quotation marks to the comment in ALT0 about toxic masculinity, but ALT2 is pretty nifty, too; I've added how Stevens was also the screenwriter, further emphasizing that the story was about the house he was renovating in the first place.
As well, your suggestions about the direction further expansion should take are good ones. I can't really expand on the plot until the film releases (as per COPYVIO), but I will definitely keep working on this, as more reviews come into play after its general release. -

Another reviewer will be needed for the new ALT2 (and I don't mind the addition to it), but I do think the citations for the festivals it appeared at are something that can and should be done now.

ALT2 hook cited and verified to source, and is interesting. Citations are required for the Release section (it's OK if you use primary sources such as the websites of the festivals), and I would remove the Box office section header before there is anything substantial that can be written in that section.

Per suggestion at WT: DYK from @
Valereee:, and pending concurrence from nominator @
Jack Sebastian:, is it possible to request a Special Date appearance, for this nomination to coincide with the film's USA release date of October 25, 2019?

Not to worry. Once you submit a nomination, the date of submission does not change. The date of your submission is the one used to determine the article's eligibility. So, you'll be OK on this one. I also added a bolded note at the top, so anyone approving and promoting this can see it.
