It's so very, very good. An absolute masterclass in tension, with believable characters, plot progressions and a fine conclusion.
9/10 & #11 of 2016

Fucking loved Green Room . 8.5/10
Definitely one of my favs of 2016. Stewart was aces as the bad guy leader and the young actors that played the punk band were all good to great in their roles. When I saw this in theaters, I couldn't believe how intense it got (I was literally gripping my seat haha) . Also it features some shocking/gory moments that tripped me out.
Between Green Room & Blue Ruin , Jeremy Saulnier is a director to keep an eye on . Can't wait for Hold the Dark and season 3 of True Detective (he's directing a few of the episodes).

One of the best films of its year. RIP Anton Yelchin.

Brutal, unflinching, and fast-paced. Basically everything you want in an action-thriller.

Let's put it this way. Once the end credits hit, I began hyperventilating (I don't think I had breathed for the last 30 minutes).
After the end credits, I checked my blood pressure. It was perfectly normal.
Or course, my pulse was running at over 130 beats a minute.
Seriously, this is true.

I don't love it quite as much as Blue Ruin (a strong candidate for being the best Coen Brothers film they never made), but Green Room is so brutally effective that it is, quite literally, sickening. The film's got a pungent, jaundiced aesthetic that makes it look diseased and mangy, and that's a good thing. It feels like the movie is sweating from anxiety, which makes us in turn to the same. I also love how it makes you feel that no one is truly safe; the scene where Yelchin's arm is shattered is one of the most realistic, harrowing sequences of the decade.
Along with Blue Ruin, it made Jeremy Saulnier a force to be reckoned with and I was super-stoked when I learned he was helming the third season of True Detective, because I knew he could make you feel that stomach-knotting urgency from Season 1 again. But then, well, we know what happened.

A rather creative concept that I have not really seen before in a movie.
