    • Trivia
      One of the films that appear in the TV while the people in the bar look for the news is William Castle's House on Haunted Hill (1959), a film in which strangers are trapped in a (supposedly) haunted house. In The Bar, the strangers are trapped in a bar. Another coincidence is the number of people: in The Bar, there are nine people inside the building. In House on Hauted Hill, there are five guests, but counting the hosts and servants, there are also nine people inside the building.

    The Bar 2017

    The movie seemed decent for a while, but just got worse and worse to extremely silly in the sewer-scenes(even started fast-forwarding during the last 20 minutes), and then it ended without any answers given.

    Mediocre acting. Plot decent, but nothing new. Bianca Suarez was hot.
