Review of Green Room (2016) by Kevin M — 06 Apr 2017
A group of kids in a punk rock band get caught up at the wrong gig: It's slightly more tense than your average survival horror flick, thanks in part to Patrick Stewart's lowkey and menacing performance.
A haven for neo-Nazi skinheads accompanied by their intense heavy metal music is a fitting setting for the gruesome violence that ensues. Speaking of the violence, it's relentlessly brutal. Close-ups of someone getting shot in the face with a shotgun and a dog tearing apart a throat are a few examples.
While these elements do take the conventional premise to a fresh horizon, it's the type of horror movie where the kids get picked off one by one, making it a stylish but nonetheless conventional horror flick.
