\"greenroom\"
\nGreen Room<\/em> is one of those rare horrors that does one thing, but does it very well. It is an Eli Roth film, only good.<\/p>\n

A struggling punk rock band need some gigs and fast. Unfortunately they are directed to a concert at a place ran by Neo-Nazis, and quickly find themselves in a hostage situation.<\/p>\n

While Green Room<\/em> has been classified as a horror, this is more like a thriller mixed with gorno (that is, gore-porn). The film is surprisingly quiet and framed very realistically. We see our to-be victims on the road, siphoning petrol from cars to keep their banger of a van on the road, dragging their gear from pathetic gig to pathetic gig. They are wasters with angry talent, and we see their desperation in getting any cash at all.<\/p>\n

It is probably a good forty minutes before anything truly violent happens. But boy does it get violent! Green Room<\/em> has perhaps some of the best body injury effects and make up work I have seen since the best of the Saw franchise’s momentary gore. Peoples arms get partially hacked off, faces get shot off, a particularly horrific moment occurs with a knife making contact with a particularly fleshy body part all too slowly<\/em>.<\/p>\n

All the while Sir Patrick Stewart is the chief villain!
\nSeriously! What is Patrick Stewart doing in a film like this? The man has no end of enthusiasm, from Shakespearian theatre to Ted<\/em>, and Green Room<\/em> is a surprisingly interesting role. I was left wanting to know so much more about his character. Stewart needs to play more villains.<\/p>\n

As a film, it isn’t up there with the likes of It Follows<\/em>, it isn’t that unique. It is a classic horror device: “who will survive?” Watching people get picked off one by one with incredibly sharp and impactful manners. There’s a good sense of humour floating amongst the brutality, but at the end of the day it is a solid but familiar experience.
\nI would argue too that my lack of music (especially punk rock) knowledge put me at a disadvantage when enjoying the film a lot more.<\/p>\n

As a massive fan of Sir Patrick Stewart I can’t not like this film, and the intensity and ferocity of the killing is not to be underestimated! It is a fairly familiar experience at the end of the day.<\/p>\n
