Nigel Andrews Financial Times For a mess, it's lively. But from Saulnier we'd have liked something more. Rated: 3/5 Dec 27, 2016 Full Review Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com Its go-for-broke horror aesthetic a real world cavalcade of terror that had me noticeably shaking long after the film itself had come to an end. Rated: 3.5/4 Aug 11, 2016 Full Review Charlotte O'Sullivan London Evening Standard How can you resist a film that, metaphorically, throws Simon & Garfunkel, Fugazi and Slayer into the same moshpit? Rated: 3/5 May 15, 2016 Full Review Julianne Bell The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Everyone in the main ensemble delivers powerful performances, but Patrick Stewart is particularly chilling as the aloof white supremacist bar owner Darcy. Oct 22, 2024 Full Review Rich Cross Starburst Committed performances, sharp dialogue, a gripping blend of the visceral and the heartfelt, and a credible sense of authenticity all add up to deliver an indie-grindcore night out to remember. Rated: 5/5 Mar 18, 2024 Full Review Jordy Sirkin Jordy Reviews It One wild, unexpected ride the whole way through, with a brutally satisfying ending. Feb 22, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Jeremy A It was a little too dark. Literally. There were only 2 cool kills. 2.5* Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/19/24 Full Review Scott R I really am very unsure why this movie scored such a high rating. The good things about it were the tension; the gruesome kills; action and the outline of the story. It had a good premise. However, I dislike a movie that have protagonists that have been written to be incredibly foolish and make abysmal decisions. I love Anton Yelchin's work (RIP Anton) such as Star Trek: into Darkness and Odd Thomas. However, he was unrecognisable in the film as a mumbling stoner punk rocker. He makes one bad decision after another that lead to distastrous consequences. His friends were not that likeable so I didn't care if they all passed or not. The cinematography was strong and the stakes were always high. Patrick Stewart got very little to do in this and as the villain was not even allowed to deliver a sinister monologue or statement. In horror movies you need to be able to root for the survivors. If you dislike them, then it's wasted hour and a half. I don't understand the high rating. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/13/24 Full Review Zach S hard to watch. real. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/04/24 Full Review Lars N A tight little thrill-ride with genuine moments of terror and deep discomfort for anyone who dares to watch Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/27/24 Full Review Dave C Delivering threat and violence in a world of fascism and punkcore without any characters explicitly speaking about the right-wing philosophy is something special. Having the visceral reminders of such a world shown in set design, staging, costume design, and real-life paraphernalia is inspired. All these details allow for the film’s swift and hideous violence to play out with the actors focused on delivering the full pain and panic any normal person would experience, and not be weighed down by politics. This is masterfully countered by the steely calm of Darcy (PS), who’s persona adds an icy severity and clinical ruthlessness to the antagonists’ agenda of safeguarding their illegal drugs operation by ensuring there are no witnesses. It’s a slasher-horror crime thriller with recognisably human characters in a very realistic setting, and it works brilliantly! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/26/24 Full Review Allen F This is a fun and new stand off movie. Not sure how I feel about Patrick Stewart being the villain.
