If you enjoyed Jeremy Saulnier’s epic “Blue Ruin” then you will love the grittiness, the uncompromising & at times the shockingly uncomfortable GREEN ROOM – from the time the punk band “The Ain’t Rights” hit the neo-Nazi club and takes to the stage you just know things are going to get downright ugly – Saulnier’s strength as a filmmaker is the weaving of realism into his characters, most are broken individuals (or soon will be) and Saulnier is the master of taking you into their world, a world that’s not pretty or glossed over, a dark unforgiving ferocious world and if you dare Saulnier will take you there – along with a very intriguing, delicious band lineup the movie is jam packed with interesting characters from the white supremacist club owner a creepy individual played by Patrick Stewart, a crowd of badass skinheads that look ready to peel your head from your neck like an orange, a mysterious girl at the scene of a crime, some vicious hungry looking dogs & a bunch of club management ready to spill blood for their leader – Saulnier weaves these characters almost Tarantino-esque in & out of his picture with great style, you just never know whats coming next – Overall: GREEN ROOM may not be everyone’s cup of tea but I loved it – it’s an unpleasent suspenseful and at times dark humoured little gem that nails you to seat and makes you beg for more runtime at its conclusion ★★★★½

Max (Taissa Farmiga) and some of her rather nerdy friends gets transported through a magical portal, that bizarrely, but brilliantly takes them into an 80s slasher movie titled Camp Bloodbath where the movies killer Billy is stalking his victims, armed with his machete exacting revenge to all who’s wronged him – Camp Bloodbath stars scream queen Nancy (Malin Akerman) who also happens to be Max’s mum, so as you can imagine things get deliciously confusing & delightfully funny – Well if you’ve never heard of Todd Strauss-Schulson you soon will – this is the best I’ve felt coming out of a horror picture at the cinema since Cabin In The Woods, Schulson delivers a love letter to the slasher genre that’s smart, innovative, sexy and downright hilarious – The Final Girls is horror comedy at it’s absolute best and I for one can’t wait for it’s bloody sequel !! ★★★★½
