 Thanks for checking out this movie review and as it is a movie review and not a movie Analysis there will be no spoilers in this the analysis is the one where I jump way into depth Give all the spoilers and usually there's gonna be much older movies than the ones I do for reviews I think I'm gonna keep mainly the newer movies being just reviews and older movies being Analysis because people definitely should have seen the older ones newer ones Maybe not so much. So I don't want spoilers out there on that or at least I don't want to be the one throwing spoilers out for that So this one I say it's newer, but I mean it's from 2015. So we're looking at Not quite but about four years now for this film to be out so It's one I've been meaning to get to so I guess some people would say it's not that new But the thing is there's so many good movies coming out nowadays that it's just kind of hard to keep up So I do consider that newer because some people just may not have gotten there yet But anyway, it is a 2015 film Green Room and it's I mean it's it's build is horror But I think it's kind of more of like a thriller with horror elements to it It's kind of like criminal thriller with horror elements type. Yeah, so Jeremy Sonnier is the person who did it. Although. I don't know he may go by Sonnier I I would assume it's Sonnier, but you know, so overall the film Really enjoyed this film. I didn't know what I was really getting into. I didn't know a whole lot about it I just heard the name before and people were just like, oh Green Room. It's a good movie It's like a horror film the sad thing about this film is when you started up and you immediately realize that Antony Elchin is in it and not sad because he's a bad actor sad because he was a wonderful actor and he has since passed and I think he was extremely underrated for how good of an actor He was and the roles he got one of my favorite roles that he ever did was in the film burying the ex where he plays this guy whose Girlfriend comes back to life after she dies and he's already in a relationship with another woman And so she's like a zombie trying to still be in a relationship with him So he has to kind of figure out how to how to balance these two things It's obviously like a horror comedy. It's really well done and Antony Elchin does a wonderful job Just like he does in Green Room and I'll say overall in Green Room everyone does a really good job I didn't see a single actor in this film who I was just like That's not that good of a line delivery. I thought everyone did great So I don't know if it's that it was just all super quality actors that were involved or Jeremy Saunier was able to get great performances out of people or a combination of those two things because let's be honest It could be both so Going into the film. I do have some notes. I'll be looking down here and there but One of the main things to me is from the get-go. I realized this looks really nice It's very well directed cinematography is really good But the whole film is kind of dark But there are films where it's really dark and it's hard to see things and there are films where it's really dark But they've kind of lit it enough so that it's it's still super dark But you can see everything and this is one of those films where like they lit it enough So it stays dark, but you can tell what everything is and everything's going on So I like that a lot a film example of the other one where it's just too dark And you can't even tell what the hell is going on is the Alien versus predator requiem. I've watched that movie like I Guess one and a half times Because the second time I was like I can't even finish this movie because I can't even tell what's going on The first time I watched it all the way through I couldn't always going on the second time I tried to watch it I just stopped halfway through because I was like I don't know what I'm seeing I still don't know what I'm seeing so That films did it horribly green room did it right did a great job. So But in the beginning of the film what I will say is that it was kind of hard I'm sorry the lights getting a little harsher. It was kind of hard for me to Connect with the characters because they actually seem like kind of dirtbags like not that good at people They were kind of I mean you got the the at the idea that they were they're like punk rock people This isn't really spoiling anything. They're like punk rock people. They do things their own way They seem kind of crappy as as people and I had a hard time kind of Relating to them and like being like oh, these are the good guys in this film but when Everything happens when the conflict starts you immediately become like okay Like you immediately start to connect with them and be like these are the good guys These are people I'm definitely rooting for because of the situation they're thrown into and who they're up against and If you know even a little bit about this film, this is not really a big spoiler But I guess like semi-spoiler ish because I'll tell you who the villain is or the villains. It's Nazis, so Anytime you you have one of these films where you know Even the characters like a little bit unlikable as soon as they're put into a conflict with Nazis You're immediately like that's the person. I'm obviously rooting for right now And I hope they get out of this because Nazis and Nazis are the Huge evil and unfortunately, they're a real evil in the world so You know that's an easy way to immediately be like these people are good because these people on the side are Nazis They're bad obviously So so yeah, I did have a hard time connecting with them until the conflict started So once that happened, I was like, okay, I'm in like this makes you know, I'm feeling for these people more so One of the things is I felt like it was very smartly written In the in the aspect of the story felt real nothing in there felt outlandish there are plenty of films I've seen especially that have a Horror bent to them either they are straight horror or they are like horror adjacent as people say Where it's kind of like oh, it's entertaining, but a lot of these premises just don't even seem relate of our Realistic and and I'm not talking about just realistic as in like based in reality but I mean realistic as it relates to the environment that's set up through the establishment of the beginning of the film and I felt like with this one it is kind of based in like a real world and Based on real world and based on how they set up the environment of the film I felt like everything in it felt like it made sense like there wasn't a whole lot There was like some very very small things here and there that seemed like a little bit like yeah I'm not really sure that that's how that would go But it was like maybe one or two things and they were not super major. They're pretty minor So for the most part, I thought they did a really good job with the writing to Realistically get people from point A to B to C to D like the whole way through I felt like Yeah, this makes sense. Yep. This makes sense and On the note of the writing I thought the writing was so good and the execution obviously with the directing and the acting because the tension was high for this film And they did a really good job of keeping that tension up throughout the film That's my favorite type of horror or horror ish film are the ones where you can have a lot of tension and you keep it taught I guess and I'd say another really good example of one would be The the French extremity film high tension by alexander aja Which is not his actual real name. He changed it, but that's a whole another thing, but that film I think does an amazing job. I know it's called high tension But it actually is super high tension and it keeps it the whole time So that's just another great example But I thought the green room did a really good job of keeping that tension up and that really kept me engaged And I'm sure a lot of other audience members who saw this really kept them engaged It's super crazy to see Patrick Stewart in a role like he was in in this film. It's very very very different I'm not gonna spoil anything about it, but if people have seen this and they're watching this review You know what I'm talking about this role for Patrick Stewart is very different people who haven't seen this First of all if you can't tell from the way I'm talking about it You should definitely see this film if you've had any interest even if you don't have interest in it Going into this you should definitely check this film out It's very very interesting and very engaging, but Patrick Stewart in this seems off But it just seems off because I know who he is in his personal life Like everyone knows his kind of like real-life persona and also all the roles He's played before kind of roll into his persona as well And so seeing him in this role just feels weird at first, but he does an excellent job He makes it work. He fits in there I'd say the only and this isn't gonna be a super long review I won't have any of these be really long, but The only real big problem for me with this film was the volume levels It fluctuated a lot between being super soft and being really loud because there were times where characters were kind of almost whispering they weren't quite whispering but it's just like very very soft talking and It was really hard to hear where I had my volume set But I couldn't move my volume up too much because once the crazier parts hit where people are like yelling and like there's crazy stuff going on It's get gets so friggin loud. So like the range of volume was actually problematic with watching this film That is a relatively minor thing. I guess maybe Move closer to the screen For the for the quieter parts and further away for the louder parts I don't know. Maybe that's something or just have your remote in hand so you can keep moving it up and down But actually while I was watching this film I realized that the batteries in my remote were dead So I could not control the volume actually so I had to leave it where it was So that's why it was such a big problem for me Otherwise, I could have sat there and like you know moved it up and down But you know won't be a problem for most of the people I'm assuming But I did want to say Before I kind of give like a rating on this that Jeremy Sony a I watch this film not knowing who drew who wrote it and directed it And then I looked it up after the fact. I was like, I really like that film That was really good. What other stuff is this guy done? So I looked it up and Jeremy Sonya did a film. I've already seen before it was his first I think actually yeah his first like feature film was called murder party and It is on Netflix right now and I actually think it's on shutter the shutter streaming service as well At the moment. So if you have either of those or both of those you can watch murder party It's a really low-budget film But I remember seeing it many many years ago when it first came out on DVD and I actually own it. It's in my Stack God, it's hard to point these to my stack somewhere over in this area or something No further over but it's in my DVD at slash blueberries, but murder party It's it's a really low-budget film, but it's pulled off extremely well and the writing is really good I highly recommend that one. I like it quite a bit. So When I found that out, I was like, oh well, then obviously I already like this writer director And then now this is the second film I'm seeing and it's also really good. So then I was looking What else does he have? He has one called blue ruin Which I was like, I better add that to my Netflix DVD queue I went and looked and it's already in my queue I was like, oh, I guess I've heard about this some other time and put it in there Most likely from room work magazine because I read that awesome horror magazine room work And they I get a lot of recommendations for horror films out of that. So people are interested check out room work the other one is hold the dark and I saw that when I saw this film and that one's from 2018 Blue Ruins from 2013 Murder parties from 2007 Green Rooms 2015 then hold the dark is 2018 just last year And I saw that it's a Netflix Film so I was like, oh well, it's got to be on Netflix and it is so I plan to watch that film relatively soon I did watch the trailer for it right after watching Green Room and I was like this looks very good It looks like it's really good. So it's in the same vein as like Green Room. It's like a thriller Baby horror Jason type flick. So I think you're gonna get more of the same if you liked Green Room I think it's gonna be more of the same But I will check that movie out and maybe I'll actually do I'll probably do a review for that too. So Yeah, and then true detective. He's going to be doing two episodes of true detective I think he's directing to let me see is he writing. No, he's not doing a writing on true detective He is directing two episodes of season three of true detective, which I don't believe has come out yet But it's this year on HBO. So I only saw the first season of true detective. I thought it was outstanding I have not seen the second season. I probably will see it I've heard it's not so great, especially in comparison to the first season But you know, but it's cool to see that Jeremy Sonnier is getting more work Maybe true detective will be a really big stepping off point for him to get bigger budget stuff But then again, is that really what I want for this individual? Because I feel like as you start getting more bigger budget unless you become super famous You start being more stifled with your creativity and what you are allowed to do film-wise. So I Don't know. It's this kind of thing. But anyway. Yeah, so in summation I do my star ratings out of five stars half stars are included. I'd give this four out of five stars This is a very solidly good film and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who has interest in this type of film There's some gruesome stuff in it. So you have to be able to really handle that but anyone checking this Review out probably is already fine with that as my guess.
