Writer/Director Jeremy Saulnier’s Green
Room is a horrid, not well-told, little story about not-too-bright members
of a bad punk rock band, who, mistakenly, take a gig at a backwoods Trump
sympathizer-type hangout and end up in a blood bath where three-quarters of the
group are killed.
While Cinematographer Sean Porter captures
the white trash atmosphere for which I assume Saulnier was looking and Imogen
Poots shows up well into the story to add a somewhat engaging character the
audience can actually care about, there’s not much here to stop the viewers
from hoping everyone will die sooner, so they can leave the theater.
I, generously, give Green Room a 2.4 out of 5
for Imogen and the crew.
Hopefully,
Director Saulnier will come up with something more worthwhile in the future.
