HOLY SHIT. You guys, I'm not sure if I can fully comprehend what I watched. I don't want to over-hype this or anything but...Hereditaryis going down as the scariest movie I've seen yet. Yes, that is quite the lofty statement but I would be wrong if told y'all it wasn't. Now, I'm going to try and be as thorough but as vague as possible because I don't want to give anything away, so bear with me!
I have been impatiently waiting for 2018's Hereditary to be released (June 8th) so this new trailer that was just released is making me even more antsy! You guys, it looks INTENSE.
Someone yesterday told me that the reason I didn't like this one was because I "didn't understand it." 1) If you have ever said this to someone, you're an idiot. And 2) I assure those of you who haven't seen it, or have and didn't like it, there really isn't much to "understand." If you didn't like, it's probably because the trailer was misleading as hell and the movie itself was largely underwhelming.
Synopsis: GREEN
ROOM is a brilliantly crafted and wickedly fun horror-thriller starring
Patrick Stewart as
a diabolical club owner who squares off against an unsuspecting but
resilient young punk band. Down on their luck punk rockers The Ain't
Rights are finishing up a long and unsuccessful tour, and are about to
call it quits when they get an unexpected booking
at an isolated, run-down club deep in the backwoods of Oregon. What
seems merely to be a third-rate gig escalates into something much more
sinister when they witness an act of violence backstage that they
weren't meant to see. Now trapped backstage, they
must face off against the club's depraved owner, Darcy Banker
(Stewart), a man who will do anything to protect the secrets of his
nefarious enterprise. But while Darcy and his henchmen think the band
will be easy to get rid of, The Ain't Rights prove themselves
much more cunning and capable than anyone expected, turning the tables
on their unsuspecting captors and setting the stage for the ultimate
life-or-death showdown. Intense, emotional, and ingeniously twisted,
Green Room is genre filmmaking at its best and
most original. Saulnier continues to build his reputation as one of the
most exciting and distinctive directors working today, with a movie
that's completely different from his previous, highly acclaimed Blue
Ruin, but which is just as risk-taking and even
more full of twists. The entire cast deliver first-rate performances,
but Patrick Stewart gives a transformative and brilliantly devious turn
as Darcy-elegant yet lethal, droll yet terrifying, Stewart makes the
film simply unforgettable.
