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.

Martyrs (2016)

Running Time: 86 minutes
Release Date: January 22, 2016
Review by: Stacey


 

Yes, they have remade Martyrs.  I feel like I have to start off saying that because apparently a lot of people didn't know that this was even a thing.  From the time that news broke that the Goetz Brothers (Scenic Route) had already filmed the movie- shocking (and pissing off) everyone- it didn't stand a chance in the horror community.  The French 2008 original, which is usually lumped into the category of "French extreme horror" (Inside, Haute Tension, Frontier(s)) and one of my absolute favorites, left a pretty big impact on the folks that have watched it.  And for good reason- that shit is brutal, and dark, and haunting, and heartbreaking, and and and... you get the idea.

Oh yeah, we're talking about the remake, right?  Yeah, that version wasn't any of those things.

Lyle (2014)

Running Time: 65 minutes
Release Date: July 12, 2014
Review by: Stacey



Usually if a movie mirrors too much of an earlier film and isn't a remake, we're gonna have some problems.  That would be said about director Stewart Thorndike's Lyle if it wasn't so damn good.  What we got was a modernized take on Rosemary's Baby without it feeling like a total rip-off.

New Year's Evil (1980)

Running Time: 90 minutes
Release Date: December 26, 1980
Review by: Stacey



"Don't dare make New Year's resolutions...unless you plan to live!" A tagline I can get behind!  New Year's resolutions are for the birds, anyway.  Instead of telling yourself that you're going to start working out more or hating people less (that's going to be a hard one for me), why not ring in the new year by escaping a crazed killer calling himself "Evil"!?

Horror Huddle with Stacey-Beth & Ash: #TBT with Tales of Halloween and Thanksgiving horror!

I know, I know, it's only Monday but if I waited until Thursday to post these videos that have been collecting dust, Ash would have my head on a stick.

That being said, this is going to be a two-fer.  Exciting, I know!
For our Tales of Halloween episode we have Demonika Devour back on and it's a loooonnnng one (55:22)!

If that's too long for you (you should really still watch bc you love us), check out our ep on Thanksgiving-related flicks, Thankskilling and 1987's Blood Rage.  This time around Ash and I finally get together in person and not only manage to keep our babbling limited to 20 min, but we also crafted a stupid turkey hat for me to wear.  That warrants a pity watch at least, right??


Enjoy and leave some feedback!

Amber Alert (2012)

Running Time: 80 minutes
Release Date: November 2, 2012
Review by: Stacey



Holy shit, this movie pissed me off so much in a way that I didn't think was possible just from watching a movie.  I think the last time a movie made me legit angry was when I saw Kevin Smith's Red State (for obvious reasons), but Amber Alert was aggravating to me on a whole other level.
