"The most sensational, out-of-the-blue film I've seen." -Quentin Tarantino
"The most badass movie of the year! Occupies a space somewhere in between a nasty midnight B-movie and well-directed arthouse fodder, and fans of either will find plenty to love." -GQ
GREEN ROOM is a brilliantly crafted and wickedly fun horror-thriller starring Patrick Stewart (yes--that Patrick Stewart!) as a diabolical club owner who squares off against an unsuspecting but resilient young punk band. Down on their luck punk rockers The Ain’t Rights are finishing up a long and unsuccessful tour, and are about to call it quits when they get an unexpected booking at an isolated, run-down club deep in the backwoods of Oregon. What seems merely to be a third-rate gig escalates into something much more sinister when they witness an act of violence backstage that they weren’t meant to see. Now trapped backstage, they must face off against the club’s depraved owner, Darcy Banker (Stewart), a man who will do anything to protect the secrets of his nefarious enterprise. But while Darcy and his henchmen think the band will be easy to get rid of, The Ain’t Rights prove themselves much more cunning and capable than anyone expected, turning the tables on their unsuspecting captors and setting the stage for the ultimate life-or-death showdown.
Intense, emotional, and ingeniously twisted, GREEN ROOM is genre filmmaking at its best and most original. Writer/director Jeremy Saulnier continues to build his reputation as one of the most exciting and distinctive directors working today, with a movie that's completely different from his previous, highly acclaimed "Blue Ruin," but which is just as risk-taking and even more full of twists. The entire cast deliver first-rate performances, but Patrick Stewart gives a transformative, brilliantly devious and unforgettable turn as Darcy--elegant yet lethal, droll yet terrifying. Co-starring Anton Yelchin, Imogen Poots, and featuring the feature-film debut of Iowa native and University of Iowa alum Samuel Summer!
