Green Room plot
"One way in. No way out."
A punk band traveling through a remote area of the Pacific Northwest is offered a performance in front of a skinhead audience. Because their tour is not going well, they decide to take it. Once they arrive at the venue, everything seems to be in order and they put on a fairly successful performance. But then the situation gets out of hand.

I spent an hour and a half wondering what I was actually watching... well, the movie has a few gory surprises in store and is tense for about half an hour, while you wonder what's going on is and where the film wants to go.
However, that soon becomes clear (where the film is going is a nihilistic massacre) and then, all things considered, there is actually no credit to be gained: bad acting, totally uninteresting characters and dialogues where often there is hardly a rope. To tie to this makes this film an ordeal to watch (even if it only lasts an hour and a half).
In addition, the plot is rather far-fetched and very poorly explained: the "official" statement that the band should not be shot because their death should appear to be an accident is not very strong and is not followed consistently and many of the characters' actions come completely out of the blue. To be honest, I often looked at it in amazement.
Overall, I thought this was a failed film.

When the nihilistic punk rock band Ain't Rights accidentally discovers that someone has been stabbed to death backstage after performing in a remote bunker, the backstage manager forces the musicians to stay in their dressing room until things are resolved. The band members immediately understand that they have ended up in a dangerous situation and that they must use all their intelligence and inventiveness to get out of this situation unscathed. When Darcy [Patrick Stewart], the property owner and leader of a Nazi movement, arrives, a deadly game of cat and mouse begins.
Very cleverly constructed (and multi-award-winning) horror thriller is set almost entirely in one location. Jeremy Saulnier builds up the suspense slowly but surely, and the short-lived but fierce bursts of violence (with convincing make-up effects) are truly shocking, especially when Brownie and Grimm scatter on the scene. The scenario makes clever use of the environment by using PA as weapons (the feedback from the microphone, the microphone stands) and the casting of the sweet-voiced, articulate and controlled Patrick Stewart as the übervillain is particularly effective . A must for horror fans, but to pit bull owners I would say: FASS!!!
