12 Scariest Movie Moments Of 2016
5. Failed Negotiation - Green Room
While not technically a horror movie, Green Room certainly isn’t short on tension or gore. The film is stomach churningly tense in places, and an oppressive atmosphere clings to it. Once things go sideways and the luckless punk band are trapped within their green room by a band of neo-nazis, all they have to keep themselves safe is a large handgun.
The leader of the Nazis – played with chilling calm by Patrick Stewart – makes them a deal; hand over the weapon, and they can just walk away. It’s a risky move, but they take their chances and decide to hand it over. Of course, it goes wrong, leading to the band manager getting his arm hacked to bits, in addition to losing the gun.
This entire scene is crackling with suspense, and the resulting attack is a real shocker.
