- 91The PlaylistOliver LytteltonThe PlaylistOliver LytteltonAn exciting, splattery, funny genre movie that somehow never once feels disposable.
- 80CineVueJohn BleasdaleCineVueJohn BleasdaleScary and funny by turns, Green Room has the potential to become a cult hit, with a genuine midnight movie appeal, and furthers the growing reputation of this young director.

- 80Time OutJoshua RothkopfTime OutJoshua RothkopfThis is a brutal movie that finds unusual freedom in limitations, as do wiry bassist Pat (Anton Yelchin) and bleach-blond concert attendee Amber (Imogen Poots), who both turn out to be pretty handy with weapons. Chalk it up to their killer instincts.
