    I thought this was fantastic. Exciting, funny and just the right amount of bonkers. It’s crazy to think that this has been delayed for so long and was made ages ago. It feels so fresh and of the time in so many ways.

    There’s a point in this where a character screams “please just execute me already” and I don’t think a line in a film has ever summed up my viewing experience quite so accurately.

    I'm not going to write much about 'Green Room'. You should go into it knowing as little as possible. Don't read any of the plot or even watch the trailer. Just watch it.

    A brutal, terrifying, nerve-shredding slice of cinema. A masterclass in tension. I had a lump in my throat for pretty much the entire final hour.

    Simply brilliant. After 'Blue Ruin' and now this, I can't wait to see what Jeremy Saulnier does next.
