Critic Reviews for Room 36

All Critics (3) | Fresh (3)

Jim Groom and his co-writers ... have fashioned a deliciously menacing film noir that ... moves well, truly surprises and is magically populated by an ensemble cast ...

Thoroughly entertaining as long as you're not expecting anything too terribly slick.

Audience Reviews for Room 36

Apr 25, 2010

a very low budget british effort, a amature film concerning a criminal checking into room 36, for a deal, with a bit of mistaken identity involved, not entirely cutting edge or original, in fact plot is probely weakest part along with awful dubbing, but someone did get of there arse to make a film for little or no money, and i respect that, it will be there calling card, although i heard the filmmaker made a film in 80s revenge of billy the kid, so not sure where he stands, there are some nice touches , and some amusing moments, and along with 10 dead men and colin, a film ive seen recently from the u.k, where money has been streched to the limit
