Recommendation
I rewatched Green Room for the third time this week, and damn is that movie so good.
If you like horror, you should watch it. If you like thrillers, you should watch it. If you like gore, you should watch it. If you like action, you should watch it. If you like music, you should watch it. If you like great set design you should watch it.
Basically, if you like movies you should watch Green Room, I cannot recommend it enough.

maybe the scariest movie i've ever seen.
supernatural stuff doesn't scare me. this situation is terrifying.
If you were a punk rock kid, who toured with a shitty band, and played shitty shows in shitty places, you should definitely watch the Green Room.
I just got unbanned for complaining about these types of movies so i'm a bit hesitant to say anything but as a punk who fought skins, I kind of hate these movies.
What do you hate about them?
I don't like racism. The real skins were just teen punks being dumbasses. The Hollywood version made them seriously scary, organized villains by hyper fictionalizing them. Skins were scene kids. It'd be like being scared of an emo kid.
"Run, he's got a bad attitude".
Yeah, no.
Might be a stupid question, but what are "skins?"
Blue Ruin, directed by the same guy, is another one worth watching.
Ya it hits many of the same notes as Green Room, but more of a thriller. The director needs to make 3rd "color" movie
Murder Party also quite entertaining and much funnier than Green Room.
One of the coolest things about blue ruin is that Saulner shot it with a canon C300 Mark I, which is like $1k now. I have a soft spot for movies shot with cheap cameras.
Meh, I didn't like Blue Ruin all that much. It was okay, but more bleak for the sake of being bleak I felt.
Green Room is a much better and more accessible movie and Patrick Stewart absolutely nailed his role in it. It's a movie I can recommend to nearly anyone and they'll find something intense about it that they liked, whereas I can't say the same thing for Blue Ruin.
My favorite film of 2015!
RIP Anton Yelchin.
I love it. My only complaint is if these kids were clued into the scene at all they would have known they were going to play a nazi compound as soon as someone said rural Oregon. But then the movie would have been really short.
I think they did know and didn’t care. My main complaint is thatI feel that the Anton Yelchin character would have a little more street smarts than to try to call the cops in the middle of the club immediately after seeing the body. That felt forced to get the plot going. it’s not a deal breaker at all, the film is fantastic and its a testament to how genuine everything else is that this minor thing stood out.
Tad told them it was a skin bar at the beginning
Nazi punks fuck off!
I went into this movie without knowing anything but the type of villains. What a fantastic thriller. Patrick Stewart plays a convincingly evil character.
If you don't like violence you shouldn't watch it.
It is a great movie though!
The violence is truly brutal in this movie. Most gore-y movies play it up for the shock factor, but the way it's portrayed in this movie is extremely visceral and integral to driving your anxiety.
Anton Yelchin and Patrick Stewart right?
I really like that film
Mike from RLM called it "Nazi Picard Vs. Punk Rock
ScottieCheckov "edit: wrong character for Yelchin
*Punk rock Chekov
It's like star trek!
One of my favorites. I’ve seen it so many times. The writing is so good. The way that just a few lines of dialogue here or there builds such a complete story/world never ceases to impress me. Also Macon Blair rules. I’ll watch anything he does.
RIP Anton Yelchin
I had basically written off horror as a genre I had any interest in watching for like a decade until Green Room. Fucking love this movie.
I also loved Green Room very much, I don’t know many movies that would come close to its tension. In addition, the entire sequence of events was frighteningly believable; during the film I constantly had to think about what I would do in the protagonists' place.
I liked it even so much, that it inspired me to make a short film with a similar premise, named “Red Cell”, but here with left wing extremists as antagonists:

I urge anyone who hasn’t seen this movie to go in not knowing anything about it. It’s a wild ride.
Still love the sudden cut to credits, especially when taking account of the favourite band question from earlier in the film.
I’m not one who’s squeamish towards violent movies, but this movie really got under my skin. I think it’s due to the spiteful, hateful intent that was behind it all, and the sheer casual display of said violence made it even more unsettling (especially towards certain characters that were relatable and ultimately likable). And to think that, to a certain extent, these kinds of people actually exist. It’s a good film, don’t get me wrong, but it’s one in which I’ll probably never watch again due to the display of human darkness that was borderline nihilistic.
I want to see this for Anton Yelchin and Patrick Stewart. It's not too gory and graphic, is it?
It is both pretty graphic and gory. Very violent, as well, though the movie excels in how tense it is. Patrick Stewart is amazing in it, especially since he is the villain.
It is a really great movie, but I just wanted to give you the heads up.
It has some intense graphic scenes sprinkled throughout, but you definitely could skip them or put it on 2x speed and still understand and appreciate the movie, happy streaming
It's on Netflix, right?
Unfortunately not, Green Inferno is on Netflix (Much more gore and violence). I see that Green Room is on Paramoint +
I use Paramount+. Thanks!
Patrick Stewart is phenomenal in it
Good movie but the one liners and small talk is really cringey given the dire situation that they were in the movie. I mean at that point I ain’t talking but shooting the first bad mofo that I see.
The absolute ONLY issue I have with this movie is the fact that the guy with the shotgun during the "sprint" didn't just immediately fire when he came across Yelchin with his back turned toward the door.
Other than that, everything was pretty logically sound.
Agreed. I’ve rewatched it a few times since it came out. The first time I saw it I went in blind with only knowing it’s somewhat of a ‘whole movie takes place over one night’ movie. But shit got super intense out of nowhere then pretty much escalated for the rest of the film lol.
Nazi punks fuck off.
One of my personal favorites for sure.
A lot of great lines and imagery sprinkled in. “You lose…the texture..” is one of my favorites
Man, I remember being 2 of 5 in the theater watching this. Me a brown guy, my friend a black guy, and the other 3, 2 rows away, skinheads. Shit was mad awkward.
At first I couldn't believe Patrick Steward was in the movie, kept saying to myself - nah, can't be him!
i think your post is really a sign for me to watch it!
Great! I recommend going in blind and at night for the full experience
Green Book is better.
What a silly movie, the 'nazis' werent even intimidating, they got all the wrong casting choices, even some skinheads from the street would have done a better job at a fraction of the cost of paying em..
On top of that, they were all going one or two at a time, it was just ridiculous, all they had to do was go together, and get the job done within 5 minutes, they had the enormous upper hand all the way through, then managed to lose against some skinny anti-fa and some girls.. and why the fuck was Patrick Stewart in this playing a Nazi of all things, not one character was convincing.
And the most racist thing about these guys is they said the N word twice, relating to dope lol not even worth reacting over.
Only good thing was the chopped hand.. other than that, everyone was too retarded for this movie to be any good
