Review of Green Room (2016) by Tez555 — 06 May 2020
This is genuinly one of the best horror movies i've ever seen... Hell, one of the best films i've seen in years! I honestly can't fault it. The plot is basic, people get stuck in room, have to fight their way out, sort of Precinct 13 style. Except it's a rock band fending off nazi/skinhead things.
It's not a scary horror film at all, it's more the intense "oh s***" kind of horror. I can count on one hand the amount of films that have made me jump (and they usually require a cinema or very good surround sound) but this had one of the greatest "jumps" i've ever had in a film. It was the shear suddenness (if that's a word) of a characters demise where both me and the wife went "f****** hell!".
Actually if i'm being honest, the only weak link was Patrick Stewart. He's not bad, but he's not as menacing as he should be, his accent's all over the place and his look is pure Walter White rip-off. I think to sum it up, it feels like a British film (coming from a brit) which I think is a compliment. The violence is brutal, there's no slow motion, there's no annoying love story, it's just pure brutal violent excellence!
To the people that give this a low score I really don't know what you want from a film. I suppose you want some more PG-13 horror remakes.
