Review: Green Room Limited Edition 4K UHD
4K UHD: Green Room (2015)
Struggling punk band Ain’t Rights are in the Pacific Northwest for a gig, but when it’s cancelled, Pat, Sam, Reece and Tiger must find another way of making the money that they desperately need. When an opportunity for a show in the sticks arises, they can’t say no…but they really should have!
As hard hitting, wince inducing and nail biting as it was on its original release, Jeremy Saulnier‘s Green Room looks and sounds superb on this Second Sight Films Limited Edition 4K UHD release.
Entering the wrong room after completing their gig, the members of ‘Ain’t Rights’ witness a murder, which of course the manager of the club (Patrick Stewart), and who is also the head of a large violent skinhead gang, doesn’t take too kindly of and has to ponder what to do next.
To tell you what does happen would spoil a masterclass in tension building. Suffice it to say you’ll have your fingernails digging into the arms of whatever you’re sitting on for most of its lean 95 minute running time.
Violent and disturbing, yet filled with rounded characters that you actually care about, Green Room is an absolute classic that has been given the usual high standard release that Second Sight Films prides itself on.
And if you’re still thinking about whether to buy or not, let me repeat that this has Patrick Stewart as a sadistic skinhead Neo-nazi…surely reason enough right there!
