The film follows a punk rock band that sort of ends up in the wrong place at the wrong time. When faced with a mysterious murder in their Green Room, they are forced to barricade themselves when a group of men begin to come after them. The group attempts to escape in many instances however it is to no avail and quickly the group begins to dwindle down in number. What I really enjoyed about this film is how relatable the core ensemble cast is. Unlike most main characters in film, these characters had no combat skill or experience with any weaponry. All they knew they had to do was survive. Also the makeup team on this film did such an awesome job with the prosthetics and make up all throughout. Unfortunately, where I personally did get lost is the underlying tones of the film and what I believe the creative minds wanted the audience to experience and take away from it. This unfortunately completely flew over my head and for this reason I will be rating the film a 3 out of 5.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

I saw it with not very high expectations, what did I end up seeing? A masterpiece of independent cinema. The suspense, the gore, the performances, the scenes and so on are incredible. Highly recommended

Sometimes, the most horrifying of experiences can happen in places that are set directly in reality! A punk band is performing at a Neo-Nazi bar, only for a murder to cause them to be imprisoned in a room where the nazi residents plan to eliminate the witnesses in brutal fashion. A dark and disturbing film that makes the most of its premise and leaves us with a sense of fear that this could happen to us!

I never expected a movie based on this plot could be one of the best suspense/thriller/horror films ever written. Excellent storyline and excellent writing only topped by the acting. 10 out of 10

For a mess, it's lively. But from Saulnier we'd have liked something more.

Its go-for-broke horror aesthetic a real world cavalcade of terror that had me noticeably shaking long after the film itself had come to an end.

Rated: 3.5/4

London Evening Standard

How can you resist a film that, metaphorically, throws Simon & Garfunkel, Fugazi and Slayer into the same moshpit?

Committed performances, sharp dialogue, a gripping blend of the visceral and the heartfelt, and a credible sense of authenticity all add up to deliver an indie-grindcore night out to remember.

Wonderfully Weird and Horrifying

Green Room doesn't shy away from the violence and shocks, creating some relentlessly disturbing aesthetics. The cast is stellar and the suspense keeps you on the edge of your seat.
