I found “Green Room” to be a completely unwatchable horror thriller. It’s received solid reviews from critics and seems to have entertained general audiences but I found it almost unbearable. It’s as grimy, ugly movie that is as violent as the “Saw” or “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” movies. It’s about as interesting as staring at a blank wall.

A punk rock band struggling to get gigs reluctantly accept an offer to perform at a neo-Nazi skinhead bar. After they finish playing their music, they inadvertently become witnesses to a murder. The group now finds themselves being held captive by the white supremacists, who are armed with knives, guns and attack dogs. If the band want to escape, they will have to kill.

The characters in this movie are just dreadful. Most of the time, they are whispering or mumbling their lines. Anton Yelchin (“Terminator Salvation”) has the biggest role here and he is just terrible. Poor Patrick Stewart (“X-Men”, “Star Trek: Nemesis”) is dragged into this miserable mess as the leader of the skinheads. He’s such a talented actor but he gets nothing remotely interesting to do or say. The other characters are just awful. Most of them are just there to be stabbed, shot or have their throats ripped out by dogs.

The violence in this movie is very graphic so those with weak stomachs with definitely want to look elsewhere. I was reminded of “Red State”, “Kill List” and “The Purge” as I endured this film. It’s dark both thematically and visually so everything feels really depressing. It’s not particularly scary, it’s just thoroughly unpleasant. I still cannot quite believe that this film made many critics’ list of best films of 2015. It’s boring, it’s gratuitously violent and I just struggle to even tolerate movies like this. I’d rather watch somebody butter bread for an hour and half then sit through “Green Room” again.
