Green Room (2015) - Starring Imogen Poots, Anton Yelchin, and Patrick Stewart

[KilloWertz]

Given all the good reviews this is getting, I'll definitely be checking this out. It might have to wait until Blu-ray if this doesn't go as wide as some of A24's filmes, but this is no longer flying underneath my radar at least.

[MikeScott]

So, Movie City News has an estimated 35,000 from 3 theaters for this, giving it a Friday average of $11,666. That's really killer for a genre film in limited release. Great start.

Reviews are very good, but still not sold at seeing this, at least in theaters. I don't mind gory or violent films per se, but don't really like films with a lot of brutal violence or emphasis on pain/suffering, which based on the trailer seemed to be what the film was focused on.

Is this just one of those films that is simply not playing in Canada? Because it was been released wide in the US right? Yet it appears to not be playing anywhere up here. It's an odd thing that happens on occasion, I distinctly recall having to go to the States to see Sabotage.

Oh. I guess it makes more sense to look at the official than Wikipedia, as I was doing. Thanks. Can't wait.

Seeing a screening of this on Tuesday. Looks punk as ****. Can't wait.

Finally coming to Chicago tomorrow.

[HorrorBlu]

One more week!

I just hope that when A24 says "Everywhere April 29th", they truly mean it. They did good with The Witch, but I'm still weary of A24 after their shoddy theatrical release of Room.

If you like punk and think you'd enjoy a Picard nazi I can't recommend this highly enough. A very realistic portrayal of touring in a punk/hardcore/metal band with very limited funds near the beginning too. Great stuff.

I saw this a couple days ago and I don't get all the hype. It was ok. Certainly it was well-acted(aside from Stewart's accent), the visual FX were solid(lots of blood and guts in this one), and it was wisely brief(less than 90 minutes before the credits rolled).

But you'd think with the reviews it's getting that this was some sort of Top 10 of the Year contender. Personally I think it's something you rent on a Saturday night and watch with a few drinks in you.

Agreed. I was left largely underwhelmed. This movie is just a bunch of dumbass kids killing each other. The main character grated on me with how much of a wuss he was.

And to top it off a notable character is wearing a watain shirt. I'd bet anything whoever made that call is patting themselves on the back. I wouldn't be surprised if some dork sees this movie and buys that shirt.

7/10 for me. When the blood does kick into gear, it's done pretty well.

Really looking forward to see this. Just from the trailer I know I'll enjoy it more then I did The Witch.

It's absolutely Top 10 of the year contender for me. It's currently my number 1, and I can only think of a few films left this year that have the chance to de-throne it.

I was fond of the Out of Step shirt. I actually wore a Minor Threat shirt to the screening I saw.

[MikeScott]

I'm excited to see this but the only thing that gives me somewhat of a pause is that I'm not sure just how hardcore the music in it is. I hate screamo/metal. I'm not 100% sure what kind of music it is. I haven't bothered to seek out any of the songs. Really hope it's tolerable.

Your ranking system is out of sync with your comments. You were underwhelmed yet you give it 7/10 just 3 marks away from a 10?

I'm expecting a really patronising comment from a member I don't particularly like to follow on from this.

Dorks ironically wear black metal shirts already. I highly doubt they're going to pick up a Watain shirt after seeing a murderous, Neo Nazi wearing one in this movie.
