Plot: A punk band, after playing a gig at a Neo-Nazi club, witness a murder and find themselves under siege from the murderous club patrons.

This is the movie which features the delightful, much-loved national treasure Sir Patrick Stewart shedding his nice guy image to play a terrifying Neo-Nazi. Believe it or not, that's one of the least startling things about this utterly shocking thrill ride.

A cold, steely and ferociously gruesome claustrophobic thriller, this is the kind of film that makes you feel like you're watching it with an iron first clenched tightly around your throat. As it goes without saying, it's one hell of a stressful watch but it's such a powerful, hard-hitting and thrilling piece of cinema that you'll still be sorry when it ends.

This was easily one of the best films of 2016, horror or otherwise, and it's one of the finest low-budget thrillers in recent memory.
