I first reviewed Green Room back in 2017 for my blog Wight Blood and gave it a score of 9/10. I don’t think I have watched it since so with this Second Sight 4k/Blu-ray release, I had the opportunity to see if it was just as good on second viewing.
The movie follows a punk band as they attempt to tour and book a last-minute gig at a neo-nazi bar with the promise of some decent money. They play the gig and attempt to leave as quickly as possible but after they witness something they shouldn’t have, things turn nasty and they get stuck in the green room with nowhere to go.

★★★★★
Mark Kermode, The Observer

‘The gore is great… how can you resist a film that, metaphorically, throws Simon & Garfunkel, Fugazi and Slayer into the same moshpit? Fast and funny, the whole thing’s a bit of a scrum Dive in and feel the noise’
Evening Standard
‘The real deal: a ferocious siege movie that cuts straight to the bone…’

The Silencing Movie Review: A Gripping Resurgence & Unraveling Mysteries In The Heart Of Echo Falls!
The Silencing Movie Review Rating:
Star Cast: Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Annabelle Wallis, Zahn McClarnon, Hero Fiennes Tiffin, Zahn McClarnon, Melanie Scrofano
Director: Robin Pront
Producer: Cybill Lui Eppich
Writer: Micah Ranum
The Silencing Movie Review Out! (Picture Credit: IMDb)
What’s Good: Pront skillfully blends familiar tropes into a satisfying mystery horror-thriller. The film captures the wilderness through Manuel Dacosse’s cinematography, enhanced by Brooke and Will Blair’s ominous score. Coster-Waldau’s portrayal adds depth, creating a foreboding atmosphere.
What’s Bad: While the film touches on social issues, particularly in northern Minnesota, it may come off as somewhat tokenistic. Despite this, the compelling tone and eerie presence of a masked figure in mist-shrouded forests contribute to the film’s overall appeal.
Loo Break: A suitable “Loo break” in the middle of this intense narrative could be after Rayburn rescues Molly from the sanctuary and keeps her safe overnight in an unused spike trap.

Christopher Abbott essentially has two modes: Intense, and way more intense. The former “Girls” star, whose blooming career is still often seen as a response to his brief time on (and tumultuous exit from) that epochal HBO show, has spent the last few years playing one brooding knuckle-dragger after another, like he’s trying to rid himself of whatever cooties Lena Dunham may have left behind.
From “James White” to “Katie Says Goodbye,” the Greenwich, Ct native seems exclusively drawn to characters who could punch a wall at any moment — you can’t take your eyes off the guy, but it’s hard to shake the feeling that he picks his roles by imagining what might happen if Marlon Brando’s Stanley Kowalski walked off the screen and started wandering through the modern indie landscape.
But that’s all about to change, as Jamie M. Dagg’s “Sweet Virginia” brings...

Michael Caine had an interesting run of genre flicks starting in the late ‘70s. The Swarm (1978) was laughed off the screen, Dressed to Kill (1980) was enjoyed by audiences and critics alike, and The Hand (1981) dropped his batting average once again. Nestled in between all those was The Island (1980), a killer pirate movie from the author of Jaws and directed by the man behind The Bad News Bears. What could go wrong? Well, everything, according to most folk. It’s an odd one to be sure, but the wild tonal shifts that prevent the ship from staying on a clear course make it a fascinating treasure that gets better with each viewing.
Released in June by Universal, The Island had a surefire pedigree for success; the Jaws juggernaut of producers Zanuck and Brown and author Peter Benchley (here, adapting his own novel) promised a good time to be had by all.

Will we ever get over that killer twist?
Revealing Amy as the secret killer, the one who has been trying to revive Malphas from the beginning, adds an entirely new layer to the characters, especially Amy. She played the innocent all summer as Holyoke attempted to murder her.
If only they'd listened. Can they stop Amy? Will Blair and Drew come back to Camp Stillwater, or have they officially escaped?
There's so many questions we still have, especially as to Jessie's being the pure one, the chosen one to stop Malphas.
Check out the photos from Dead Of Summer Season 1 Episode 10 below and tune in Tuesday August 30 at 9/8c!

“I loved the subculture and how it looked and felt,” director Jeremy Saulnier recently told us about his earlier days. “It’s always evolving, thousands of subgenres of metal, punk, hardcore you could find. You could find your tribe no matter what, but within a general subculture it was one of the most diverse. I was attracted to the more aggressive side of the music. I loved metal and just felt I needed to harness that power. As I got older and more into the film, I felt this inevitable connection and I could never find closure on that experience and I had to archive it.”
The result is Green Room, a terrifically intense thriller that’s now in limited release and expanding in the coming weeks. If it’s not in your town yet, you can experience some of it as the full soundtrack has now arrived, featuring a...

Exclusive: Listen To 3 Soundtrack Cuts From Jeremy Saulnier's 'Green Room' Plus Full Release Details
If you ask any band, they'll have a story about the one night that went wrong, or the gig that went awry. But few will spin a tale as harrowing as what The Ain't Rights go through in Jeremy Saulnier's upcoming "Green Room." The thriller starring Patrick Stewart, Anton Yelchin, Imogen Poots, Alia Shawkat, Joe Cole, Callum Turner, Mark Webber, Eric Edelstein, Macon Blair, and Kai Lennox follows a punk band who get booked to play a skinhead venue, only to wind up fighting for their lives after witnessing a murder. The "Blue Ruin" filmmaker directs it with a vice-like grip on the ever tightening tension, and helping raise the hairs on the back of the neck is the soundtrack and score. Reteaming with Saulnier following "Blue Ruin," Brooke and Will Blair bring an edgy, pulsating mood to the tracks they craft here, with the exclusive tunes "Let's Pretend...
