I usually don’t get scared by movies, but this intense thriller got to me inside. I saw this at the Nitehawk cinema in Brooklyn, and found this film to be terrifying. A punk rock band on the road ends up playing at a Nazi skinhead club way out in the rural country, and end up being held hostage when they accidentally see a murder. They know they will die, so they, being punk kid amateurs against armed white supremacists, fight back in a scrappy way to survive, and its rough to watch.
Anton Yelchin was so good as a fragile kid fighting tooth and nail to get out, and it’s sad that this came out shortly before he died in a freak accident. And Patrick Stewart was chilling as the local Nazi leader, who just talks in a quiet, calm voice, and speaks in vague euphemisms about killing the band to cover everything up.
I really do like thrillers, especially ones that make me really uncomfortable to watch, and this was a really great and harrowing film to watch.
