10 Horror Movies With Nazi Villains

2. Green Room

Patrick Stewart Green Room
A24

It had to happen: following in the footsteps of his X-Men co-star Ian McKellan, Patrick Stewart also gets to flirt with fascism in Green Room, playing the leader of a skinhead group (“it’s not a party, it’s a movement”) in modern day America.

The plot couldn’t be simpler: after witnessing a murder, a punk band ends up running for their lives from a group of Neo Nazis. What makes the movie is the casting, with the late great Anton Yelchin a perfect everyman, but the acting honours go to Stewart who, cast against type, is chillingly believable as the group’s leader.

The film also answers several important questions: do Nazis have a sense of humour? Do they own any Dead Kennedys records? If you play Nazi Punks F**k Off, will they see the funny side?
