Reception
The film has approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on reviews, with an average rating of . The website's critics consensus reads: "'The Oak Room' contains a taut, spooky tale that proves southern gothic can flourish in the snowy north." Brian Shaer of 'Film Threat' gave the film a 6.5 out of 10. Drew Tinnin of Dread Central awarded the film three and a half stars out of five. Meagan Navarro of Bloody Disgusting awarded the film three skulls out of five.
Martin Unsworth of 'Starburst' gave the film a positive review and wrote, "...'The Oak Room' is no facsimile and always feels its own beast. The direction is taut, building the atmosphere gradually until the tension is practically smothering during the denouement - a final shot that rivals 'Blood Simple' for satisfaction."
Andrew Mack of Screen Anarchy also gave the film a positive review and wrote, "The film proves once again that sometimes all you need is a good story to captivate your audience. 'The Oak Room' has at least three."
