Thriller. Mystery. Comedy It revolves around a group of people locked inside a bar. Given its single core location, De la Iglesia says that it will work a bit like a stage play, “where tensions between the main characters grabs all the attention.”

	Author	Review
United States	Jonathan Holland The Hollywood Reporter	"Go-nowhere grotesquerie (...) for most of its excessive duration, 'The Bar' is in fast, furious freefall, let down by a lazy script"	NEG
United States	Owen Gleiberman Variety	"A thriller about the patrons of a bar trying to survive an attack plays like an attack -of bad filmmaking- on the audience."	NEG
United Kingdom	Wendy Ide Screendaily	"The lack of originality in the premise is compounded by a screenplay which takes narrative liberties (...) in order to keep the tension on a par with the gross-out element."	NEG
