Room 37: The Mysterious Death of Johnny Thunders

This movie is amazing! I am a true Johnny Thunders fan and I think the lead actor did an amazing job portraying him and the storyline was excellent. Everything in this movie was great, the directing, acting, costumes, lighting... It's not meant to be a documentary, it's a thriller! I was truly enthralled and the ending pulled at my heart strings. If a movie can make me cry, I give it an A+. RIP Johnny

I thought this was going to be a documentary.

Turns out it's a movie with actors all trying to cash in on Johnny Thunders' death.

It's truly the worst movie I have ever seen. Makes Ed Wood look like Copolla.

Do not support this garbage.

Absolutely captivating. As the movie progresses it takes you through an intense trip that you cannot look away from as your heart is right there with him through it all. Very talented and actor that pulls you right in as you feel for Thunder's every moment. Filled with a darkly eerie vibe, visuals, and soundtrack. The whole cast and crew did a wonderful job. Personally, I was glued the whole time, tugged at my heart, and I would watch it again.

NEVER trust anyone who has good things to say about this movie! Maybe someone who is completely oblivious to rock n roll, has never heard of Johnny Thunders, and has no idea what this movie was supposed to be about. The "based on a true story" line is COMPLETE, 110% utter bulls**t. The only accurate thing about this movie is that it's based in New Orleans, still completely ignoring the fact that he was only there 24 hours before he died. Not near long enough for all the low budget horror movie scenes this was filled with. I can just imagine poor Johnny's disgrace as he looks down on us watching this, making a joke of his name. Portraying him as nothing but a sad junkie, discrediting everything he contributed to music and the creation of punk rock. I just pray no one believes this as true. Makes me very sad for his memory, and i really wish there was a 0, or even negative, star review. If you're looking for a GOOD, true movie about Johnny's life and demise, go watch Born To Lose. Leave this in the toilet.

At end of movie only, I knew that the movie was based on real character, Johny Thunder, a rock star. Before this I didn't know about it. On the contrary I though that the movie would be based on horror of room 37. But it is different. However movie is slower than it deserve as a biopic. While watching the movie you can feel continuously that the movie is very slow. Thus slowness makes you lose interest. Moreover it is not portrayed in the aspect of entertainment. It is pure art movie. Some suspense is created here but none of surprised you nor that has any link or clue or any disclose behind it. Acting by main character is in a awful way. In some angle is justified as Johny taking drugs but other angle it should have a better way to express aloneness and pain. However it is just okay. Maid in the hotel is so attractive (mostly they are not in hotels). Story is also so confusing some stages.. There is no clue who steals the money. Most significant thing of the movie is its length. It may have been shorten at least 20 minutes. Overall the movie is not much recommended. If you have a lot of time to kill and also have a good patience to watch a little story so long then you may take risk otherwise avoid it.
