It debuted and Cannes last year, and we’ve been waiting for
Jeremy Saulnier’s Green Room ever since. Truth be told, we’ve
been fiending for whatever he did next after Blue Ruin, and
this looks like one hell of a follow-up. It just played at Sundance and opens
for the rest of us in April, and ahead of that A24 just dropped a vicious new
red band trailer.
This is punishing, violent stuff, a throwback to self-contained
horror-thrillers of the ‘70s and ‘80s, where
a group of heroes find themselves besieged by hostile forces. In this
case it’s a bunch of white supremacists led by Patrick Stewart, who is positively
chilling.
The story revolves around a punk band called The Ain’t
Rights who get a last minute show in the backwoods of Oregon at the end of a
long, disastrous tour. What begins as just another shitty gig, a prelude to
their breaking up, takes a turn for the harrowing when they witness a murder. Trapped
backstage, the band must fight Darcy (Stewart) and his goons. As you can tell
from this trailer, shit gets brutal.
Green Room opens everywhere April 15.
Check out the trailer and a new poster below.
