Green Room [DVD + Digital]
M**S
Top 3 of 2016!
First off, I was worried this movie was going to be awful, because any time someone tries to incorporate punk into a movie, it's usually terrible. I got passes to see this movie at an advance screening, and within 15 minutes I knew this movie was nothing like I had expected it to be. It turned out to be a well written movie about a band who becomes stuck inside a room backstage (also known as a "Green Room") and they have to fight to survive. All of the acting was top notch, and the plot was phenomenal. I found the ending to be fantastic, and left the movie wanting to watch it again. I've watched the Blu-ray a few times and the movie still holds up after repeated watches. When someone ask for a movie recommendation from 2016, this movie is at the top of the list.

Unexpected twists. Very happy I gave this movie a shot
I am not a fan of most horror style movies nor do I care to leave a review for them but this one was nicely done. Im not going to spill the whole story like others love to do, writing their walk through novels of the movie, which I feel ruins a review. People can get an idea of what its about with the option of playing the trailer.It had a good amount of twists and unexpected turns. I honestly did not know what to expect around every corner. It escalates rapid in some moments and others not so much but it flows nicely enough to keep your attention. There were moments that had me yelling at the character. Its kind of like Goldilocks and the three bears, it was done just right. It wasnt full of back alley tripping with a killer right behind, and what the characters did and tried to do seemed a little more realistic compared to most horrors where people are stumbling idiots and damsels in distress. It does have gore and plenty of blood but its not overly done where stuff is squirting out and shooting across the room. I was skeptical and honestly didnt want to give this movie a shot, but decided after a long days work to give this one a try and very happy that I did. The trailer leaves out a lot and skims most of the stuff which is how it should be, which honestly had me waiting to be disappointed after watching the movie but it was nothing like what i was expecting it to be. I can see myself watching this a few times again with friends or on a slow late night.

One of the Best Films I've Ever Seen. Period.
I will not spoil anything, or discuss the plot as the less you know going into this movie the better. This is not just a fantastic horror/thriller, it is an incredible movie all around. I was on the edge of my seat, uncomfortable throughout (in the way it was intended), and absolutely enthralled. Patrick Stewart is terrifying, Anton Yelchin does great, the whole cast puts in awesome work. It's an unforgettable ride and a modern underground masterpiece.

You'll find yourself holding your breath watching this
Not a horror, but more intense than the usual "thriller" category. I've watched it twice now and it was still gripping the second time.My husband formed a loose theory that Patrick Stewart was cast in this role because Captain Jean-Luc Picard is credited with saying, "It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness; that is life." At times, it feels like the movie is made keeping these words in mind.I don't do spoilers, but, as an example of why I recommend this movie, I watched it the second time with my mother in law and she was quiet throughout the entire movie. This is an unheard of phenomenon and will go down in history as the only movie to ever shut her up. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Will get your adrenaline going
Hadn't heard much about this movie other than how it was rated on rotten tomatoes and that it didn't do well at the box office. This movie instantly became one of my favorites. It drew a lot of emotion from me and really got my adrenaline pumping. Easily one of the most intense movies I've seen in a long time if not ever! Would not suggest for someone who can't stand a violent movie (there are neo-nazi's so that gives you a little of an idea of where the movie goes) though this shouldn't deter someone from watching if they can handle any level of violence. Patrick Stewart is amazing and so is Anton Yelchin, makes me really miss his acting skills RIP.

Includes Nazi dogs!
I was drawn to Green Room for a couple reasons: I really enjoyed one of writer/director Jeremy Saulnier's other movies, Murder Party, as well as reading that this movie was more punk rock than The Ranger. I'll agree that it was (loved the DK opening cover to bait the skinheads), and that these kids lived to play on the road, siphoning gas to get to their destination. I thought this was very well-written for what is essentially a punk rock/white supremacist-clashing genre picture, although I'll admit I was confused at various points (exactly who was Amber?). I'll chalk this up to being hurled into the chaos with these kids. Most of the violence is a shock, meaning it's unexpected and graphic, making it all the more effective. Intense movie. I thought for sure the edit of the Fear song got them a free pass on royalties, but there it was in the credits. And if you ever wondered what John Fogerty is singing in Sinister Purpose, turn on the subtitles! (Bad Brains print their lyrics, so no surprises there).Ooh, bonus points: In the extras, it shows that the actors learned and played the songs!

Leaves you thinking if not a bit angry while entertained.
I felt like this touched the core of fears and paranoia in a growing tense and polarized society. This movie kept us on the edge of our seats for the majority and had a clever premise that hits a nerve! The themes herein can be more than many viewers can handle no matter the age so be careful, if you can't handle gratuitous scenery and violence, this will not be your film. You leave this movie questioning humanity and how some people can be this way. All of those concepts made the movie EXCELLENT for me and helped get past any issues with the story or production.

Harte Szenen, hervorragende Stimmung und nichts für zart besaitete Geister
An sich fängt der Film besonnen an und legt dann jedoch innerhalb kürzester Zeit den Hebel um, um dem Zuschauer ein äußerst gelungenes und zudem beklemmendes Filmerlebnis zu kredenzen.Allein schon der Gig im Neonazi Club erweckt in einem selbst den Fluchttrieb und dann kommt alles Schlag auf Schlag..... Und wird natürlich noch schlimmer.Die Protagonisten sind im Club gefangen und die wilde Meute Neo-Nazis will den Musikern an den Kragen.Von Hundeattacken, über hinterhältige Angriffe mit scharfen Gegenständen, die die Extremitäten nahezu abtrennen, und der Anwendung von Schusswaffen, die noch für zusätzliche Atemlöcher sorgen ist alles dabei.Dabei scheint die Situation aussichtslos, weil der Kopf der Neonazi Bande nicht nur gleichgültig skrupellos, sondern auch besonnen und durchdacht handelt.Es beginnt ein Kampf ums nackte Überleben.Ja... Der Film hat eine Härte, die nicht jedem bekommen wird. Daher sei der Kauf wohl durchdacht. Wer jedoch keinen unruhigen Magen hat oder selbst Gore-Filme schaut (ich würde diesen Film jedoch nicht zu solchen zählen), der bekommt hier tatsächlich ein gutes Stück Filmklasse.Die Atmosphäre ist dicht, düster und authentisch. Die schauspielerische Leistung steht dem in nichts nach. Dies ist durch Darsteller wie Patrick Stewart ( Raumschiff Enterprise und X-Men), Imogen Poots (Need for Speed) und Anton Yelchin (Star Trek) auch nicht dem Zufall geschuldet.Wer sich für diesen Film entscheidet bekommt viel Härte, ja, aber auch definitiv etwas für sein Geld geboten.Auch jenseits der Härte kann der Film vollends überzeugen.Meine Imdb Bewertung 9/10.Durchschnittliche Imdb Bewertung, zum Zeitpunkt dieser Erstellung 7/10

Meisterwerk
Düster, beklemmend, hervorragend gespielt und spannend bis zum Ende. Green Room macht alles richtig, setzt auf tolle Schauspieler, die aus dem Szenario wirklich alles rausholen. In Blu ray ein Hochgenuss, jedoch nichts für schwache Nerven!

Una piacevole scoperta
Un film pressoché sconosciuto che è davvero un gran bel film. Veloce, senza troppi fronzoli e con un livello generico di recitazione davvero alto.
