Every year we get at least one surprise hit from the horror genre and Green Room could very well be 2016’s diamond in the rough.

The film has gained early notices for its graphic violence, tense atmosphere and a terrifying against-type performance from Patrick Stewart. In comes from the mind of Jeremy Saulnier, the man who gave us the equally brutal Blue Ruin. His latest bloody opus surrounds a punk rock group who play a show for a group of neo-Nazis and then find themselves fighting for survival when things go south.

Audiences could be turned off by such a gruesome film, but early reviews state that Saulnier has crafted a claustrophobic gem that may be too good to pass up. There’s always a substantial audience looking for good bloody scares and the skill behind the camera could elevate Green Room above the rest of the offerings. Plus, it's doubtful any other movie is offering Captain Picard as a Nazi.
