After sitting through my share of low budget anthologies
recently, I figured it was time to change some things up. Last night, following
a trip to Family Video, I decided to give 2015s Green Room a chance.
Plot/ A band straying into a secluded part of the Pacific
Northwest stumbles onto a horrific act of violence. Because they are the only
witnesses, they become the targets of a terrifying gang of skinheads who want
to make sure all the evidence is eliminated.
After a couple of uneven entries, this one changed all of my
frustrations. An intense thriller, this one definitely falls closer to horror
than the thriller genre. The acting is solid throughout, the scripting does a
masterful job at creating atmosphere and tension while keeping the movie
realistic, and the tone/pace of the film and violence is perfect. While I
enjoyed the entire package, some viewers may not like all of the violence and
the realism created in this world. To me, that is the only potential downfall
of the film. In the end, if you enjoy violent and tension filled movies, this
one is definitely for you; check it out!
