Intense, frightening, and cathartic. Green Room has it all.

Rating: 9/10 (28 February 2016)

A punk band that needs cash and then arriving at the wrong-place at the wrong-time.
It is the most frightening, action-packed thriller that I have seen this year so far. Out of all of the films I had the opportunity to watch at Sundance, this one stuck with me the most. When you watch this film you are trapped with no escape for you or the characters. And I say "when" because you really need to watch this movie.
The Sundance Programmer that introduced Director Jeremy Saulnier, told us that the movie was, "PUNK AS S**T!!" We all laughed because we didn't really know what he meant; and then the film started. IF you don't already know what a green room is, it's a place in a theater back-stage where the performers can relax and have their own safe-space. Green Room takes the place of safety, and rips it apart during the 94 minutes of pure terrifying ecstasy. It will take you to the edge of your seat and then throw you to the other side of the room.
The director has an incredible talent of telling the story as it unfolds. Trust me when I say this: You've never seen anything like Green Room before.
