Intense and terrifying

Rating: 9/10 (5 January 2019)

I watched Green Room without really knowing what to expect. But, I was pleasantly surprised. I found the punk scene accurately portrayed, as well as the animosity most punk rock musicians have towards its crappier subfactions, i.e. the skinhead punks. This movie is a when bad goes to worse situation. Mostly well meaning musicians are caught behind enemy lines, so to speak, doing a frightful gig for skinheads; only because they need the money. The gore and mayhem all seemed to unfurl realistically, which gave the movie a level of truth, that made it an even more bloodcurdling view: due to its realism.
It's a really great horror/thriller film with a lot of cathartic moments. As I said, it's tough to watch at times. This is in a good way, however, since the viewer roots for the main protagonists so much.
I would highly recommend.
