Green Room (2015) 7/10

Starring : Anton Yelchin, Alia Shawkat, Joe Cole, Callum Turner, Imogen Poots, Patrick Stewart
Director : Jeremy Saulnier
Running Time : 95 mins

A struggling punk band take a gig at a bar well-known for its neo-Nazi skinhead patrons, but when they accidentally witness a murder they find their lives in danger as they are locked in the bar’s green room.

Not knowing what the plot of this move was going in, I was surprised when it suddenly turned from a simple story about a struggling band on the road into a violent and bloody movie which leaves no holds barred. The basic plot of the band trying to escape from the green room is effective as the pacing allows us to wonder if they will actually get out alive. But not making this an obvious horror film, the makers allow us to think of it more like a Die Hard style action movie until the very end.
