Completley pointless, but still decently entertaining

Rating: 6/10 (3 November 2018)

The best way to describe 'Green Room' is as a classier version of a slasher film. Fan's of 80s horror will definitely get their money's worth.
The film's use of colour is nice, the gore is squeamishly effective and the characters I began as indifferent towards, I ended up rooting for.
Whilst watching the film, I kept thinking what the script must have looked like. Can't have been too compelling a read - which is made even more surprising given the presence of Sir Patrick Stewart. He is one of the stronger parts of the film, but at times it seems like the film's content made him feel uncomfortable. He hesitates and just kind of mumbles whenever his character swears, and all violence perpetuated by his character is really, really held back. Nevertheless he is still fun to watch.
I really can't see myself watching it again, or any other films by the director for that matter - but for what it was worth, Green Room was over the top & pointless, but self-aware and just engaging enough to be worthy of a recommendation.
