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, 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.
“The most hardcore film of the year, Green Room, is 95 minutes of pure, unbridled Mosh Pit Cinema.”
—Nick Schager, Esquire
About the filmmaker:
Jeremy Saulnier is an American film director, cinematographer and screenwriter. His sophomore feature, Blue Ruin (2013) a quirky, crime drama set in a pretty, but grimier part of suburban America, was a festival darling and cemented his name within the independent movie scene. His 2015 horror-thriller project Green Room was distributed by A24 to critical acclaim. He has since directed Hold the Dark (2018) for Netflix, and episodes of HBO’s True Detective.
