Jeremy Saulnier’s masterful film, Green Room, got a theatrical release last month and I hope most of you saw it theatrically. I’m a huge fan of Saulnier since Murder Party and even saw Blue Ruin twice during a film festival. While I saw Green Room last year at Fantastic Fest, as soon as it was in St. Louis last Friday, I went to see it again. Imagine Assault on Precinct 13 or any siege film for that matter but done in reverse where our protaganists have to fight to get out of a room. Mix in skinheads with Patrick Stewart as the leader, vicious dogs and punk music and you get a general idea. The good news is, if you’re like me, you don’t have to wait long to see the film again in the comfort of your own home. If you were not fortunate enough to get Green Room in your city after the nationwide expansion on April 29th, this is even better news for you.

A Red Band trailer was released for Jeremy Saulnier's Green Room, this week. The film, part horror and part thriller, involves a skinhead rock concert and a murder. This band might have bitten off more than they can chew, in this exciting clip. The Green Room stars Imogen Poots, Alia Shawkat and Patrick Stewart. Fans of thrillers can find more on the film here. The concert takes place at a secluded hall. In this location, a group of skinheads act out violently, leaving one man with a brutal head injury; he later dies. Unfortunately, one of the band members witnesses the final moments of the act, leaving his life in jeopardy. Trying to cover up the murder, the band is targeted by a gang of white power skinheads. The film's Red Band trailer is a terrifying one. The protagonists are chased from room to room by dogs, until they are finally captured.

The Green Room
Directed by Jeremy Saulnier
Screenplay by Jeremy Saulnier
2015, USA
If one was to look at filmmaker Jeremy Saulnier’s filmography, he has three motion pictures to his credit and the first two could not be more different than The Green Room. Murder Party is a hilarious, low-budget, Halloween-centric comedy that also serves as an acerbic satire of the art world. Blue Ruin is a deep, tense, suspenseful revenge neo-noir with Oscar caliber performances. Saulnier’s latest film, Green Room, almost serves to fill in the gap between the ridiculous comedy of Murder Party and the deadly serious drama of Blue Ruin, in its own bizarre way.
The film follows a punk band, the Ain’t Rights, on the tail-end leg of their tour. Living out of their van, the group travels from venue to venue with siphon gasoline and prefers to book concert dates through old school...

One of the greatest genre film festivals in the world (some say the best) has just announced its second wave of titles, including a few titles so anticipated you’ll wish you’re in Austin next month. Below are 35 more films to add to the 23 already announced in the first wave. They include Ridley Scott’s The Martian, Yorgos Lanthimos’ The Lobster, Ben Wheatley’s adaptation of J.G. Ballard’s High-Rise and Jeremy Saulnier’s follow up to Blue Ruin, The Green Room. In addition to the films, Fantastic Fest is also delivering something special this year with a performance from Itchy-o – “a blazing, 32-member aural assault from the darkest depths of Colorado.” Fantastic Fest will also host the World Premiere of Lazer Team, the first feature film from web series gods Rooster Teeth. “This is a big year for genre cinema. We’re exceptionally proud to honor incredible filmmakers...
