I have been a fan of director Jeremy Saulnier’s work ever since his feature debut Murder Party was given a home video release back in 2007, and it has been great to watch his career progress through Blue Ruin, Green Room, Hold the Dark, and episodes of True Detective season 3. Anything he does will have my attention, so I was excited when another Saulnier film called Rebel Ridge was announced back in 2019. Unfortunately, we still haven’t seen Rebel Ridge because the Netflix production was delayed by the pandemic lockdowns, then by the departure of lead actor John Boyega a few weeks into filming, reportedly due to “family reasons.” Saulnier did eventually manage to make the movie, though, and he talked about the troubled production during a recent interview with Film Stories.

As I get older, I find it harder and harder to find horror movies from the 80s and even 90s to qualify for a recommendation towards a best horror movie you never saw. First is the influx of all these great companies like Vinegar Syndrome, Arrow, and Severin Films, not to mention Kino and Scream Factory, who pull out all the stops finding the most hidden of hidden gems to clean up and release. Second, we have a ludicrous amount of streaming services, and the free ones typically can find these smaller movies that cost way less to license a streamable version. Between my generation recommending everything under the sun to their coworkers, friends, and family as well as newer generations being willing to stream something if its easy to find, the 80s is well represented, for better and for worse. The 2000s are Chock Full of movies that came...

Being set around Halloween, Scream VI was packed with immediately recognizable horror costumes. Jason Voorhees. Freddy Krueger. Michael Myers. Pinhead. Not to mention Ghostface. They were all in there. But during a party scene, one of the characters is wearing a costume you might not recognize. It’s a knight’s suit of armor, but made out of cardboard. That’s the same costume the protagonist in the 2007 horror comedy Murder Party (watch it Here) wears. If you didn’t recognize it, then we have to tell you all about Murder Party – because it’s the Best Horror Movie You Never Saw.
Murder Party was the feature directorial debut of Jeremy Saulnier, who has gone on to direct films like the revenge thriller Blue Ruin, the neo-Nazi horror film Green Room, and the mystery thriller Hold the Dark, as well as episodes of True Detective season 3. Saulnier also wrote the screenplay for the film.

Netflix’s upcoming dark comedy “No Good Deed” has added Linda Cardellini, Luke Wilson, Teyonah Parris, Abbi Jacobson and Poppy Liu to its cast. The series comes from “Dead to Me” creator Liz Feldman, making this a reunion of sorts with Cardellini.
They join Ray Romano, who was previously confirmed to also star in “No Good Deed.”
“No Good Deed” revolves around three different families who are all trying to buy the same 1920s Spanish-style home. “But as the sellers have already discovered, sometimes the home of your dreams can be a totle nightmare,” the logline teases.
Feldman is the creator, exec producer and showrunner behind “No Good Deed,” which has been picked up for eight half-hour episodes. Silver Tree is set to direct the pilot and additional episodes; Tree is also an executive producer along with Will Ferrell and Jessica Elbaum for Gloria Sanchez Productions.

Macon Blair is one of the great "those guys" of modern cinema, with a presence so memorable that you can't help but sit up in your seat when he pops up in a film. Seasoned movie buffs may point to his work in films like "Murder Party," "Green Room," "Logan Lucky," and "The Florida Project." A billion dollars' worth of people saw him this summer in a key supporting role in "Oppenheimer." Offscreen, he won a fair amount of acclaim for his directorial debut, the Netflix release "I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore." But the Macon Blair who made that offbeat dramedy is also the same maniac who made "The Toxic Avenger," the surprisingly lavish remake of the infamous z-grade B-movie from 1984, which put Troma Entertainment, with its now-legendary history of disgusting schlock-by-design, on the map.

Welcome to the Ghostface Glossary, a guide to every horror reference and nod throughout all six films in the Scream franchise thus far. Click the link to see previous articles.
After a lot of pausing, rewinding, and zooming in, as well as researching, we’re catching all of the many horror-specific references Williamson, Craven, and Co. included in this beloved postmodern slasher franchise. If we’ve forgotten any glaring ones, kindly let us know.
“Who gives a fuck about movies?!”
“Forget about the movies— the movies don’t matter.” Jason Voorhees, Patrick Bateman, Frank Zito. Now Ghostface. New York City may be the most exciting city in the world, but it can also be one of the scariest, and it was only a matter of time before Scream migrated from sleepy Woodsboro to the East Coast, giving much-needed kinetic energy and gritty set pieces to the long-running, postmodern slasher franchise.

Jude Law (Captain Marvel) and Nicholas Hoult (Mad Max: Fury Road) have signed on to star in the true crime domestic terrorism thriller The Order, which is set to be directed by Justin Kurzel (Nitram) from a screenplay written by Zach Baylin, the Oscar-nominated writer of King Richard. Baylin’s script is based on the book The Silent Brotherhood by Kevin Flynn and Gary Gerhardt.
The Silent Brotherhood tells of the escalating crimes of the titular white supremist domestic terror group. The Order has the following synopsis: In 1983, a series of increasingly violent bank robberies, counterfeiting operations and armored car heists frightened communities throughout the Pacific Northwest. As baffled law enforcement agents scrambled for answers, a lone FBI agent (Law), stationed in the sleepy, picturesque town of Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, came to believe the crimes were not the work of traditional, financially motivated criminals but a group of dangerous domestic terrorists,...

It’s the way it always is with Netflix. You get a load of new content every month, but you also lose a bunch of old favorites, too, as the rights agreements expire and they hop over to some other streaming service. September will be no different, as we’ve now got a list of everything that’s set to be removed from Netflix on the first day of the month after next.
There are a number of notable titles among them, too. First of all, the first two Bad Boys movies are leaving the site on September 1st, so make sure to give them another watch sometime in the next few weeks. Unfortunately, Netflix is losing a couple of classic horrors as well. Namely, 1988’s Child’s Play and the original Candyman, ahead of the Jordan Peele-produced remake that’s on the way.

Earlier today, we got our hands on the full list of every new movie and TV show being added to Netflix next month. It’s an impressive offering, too, featuring originals like Project Power and the fifth season of Lucifer. But as is often the case, just as every new month brings us fresh additions, it also results in a lot of great titles leaving the service.
August is no different and along with revealing everything that’s being added, Netflix has also announced what we’ll be saying goodbye to in the coming weeks. Some of these just arrived on the platform quite recently, too, which makes their exit especially unfortunate. But unless it’s original content, not a whole lot lasts forever on Netflix and so, we’ll always have to come to terms with the fact that popular shows and movies could be removed at any time.

Legendary Entertainment is taking a trip into Tromaville for a reboot of The Toxic Avenger, and Macon Blair is now in the driver's seat.
Variety reports that Macon Blair will write and direct a reboot of the cult classic Troma movie The Toxic Avenger for Legendary Entertainment, who acquired the feature film rights to The Toxic Avenger in late 2018.
Troma Entertainment's Lloyd Kaufman and Michael Herz, who co-directed the original Toxic Avenger, will serve as executive producers on the reboot, with Alex Garcia and Jay Ashenfelter supervising the project on behalf of Legendary.
Released in 1984, the original Toxic Avenger follows bullied janitor Melvin Ferd, who falls into toxic waste after being pursued by his tormentors, only to rise from certain death and transform into a disfigured defender of Tromaville. The film was followed by three sequels, a ’90s cartoon show, a stage musical, and a Marvel comic book series.

Review by Stephen Tronicek
Behind every bloodsoaked frame of the four features of Jeremy Saulnier there’s something deeper, darker to be explored. Saulnier, the man behind Murder Party (2007), Blue Ruin (2013), and Green Room (2015), has become an extremely reliable and continually interesting source for genre entertainment. He makes gore films that analyze the trappings of gore films, how the power fantasies of our innate desire for bloodshed can be contrasted with the cultural myths that we somehow believe. His first feature Murder Party explored the way that cultural elitism in itself is a type of violence towards people, Blue Ruin explored the way that cycles of violence prompted by murder and revenge can only lead to darker more desolate outcomes, and Green Room explored the purity of the artistic endeavour contrasted with the violent, hypocritical, masochistic ideology of Neo-Nazism. Now, Hold the Dark has appeared on Netflix to provide a...

Jeremy Saulnier on the Catharsis of Making ‘Hold the Dark’ and Creating Conflict Through Performance
After his first feature Murder Party did not attract the attention it deserved, Jeremy Saulnier spent time away from the director’s chair, spending seven years as a cinematographer. For his next film, Blue Ruin, he took a big and quite literal gamble: he and his wife mortgaged their home to fund the subversive, stripped-down take on the revenge thriller. Unlike the bumbling, all-too-human characters at the center of his work, Saulnier came out of the experience on top, with the film premiering at Cannes and taking home the Fipresci Prize. With a newfound momentum, he followed up Blue Ruin with Green Room, a savage and barebones thriller which carried over his love of very human characters who are very out of their element–along with further exploring his gag-inducing special effects, coal-black humor, and tension.

With the new thriller fast approaching on Netflix next month the key art was released today. Front and center is Jeffrey Wright, the protagonist in Saulnier's film.

“Hold the Dark” director Jeremy Saulnier wasn’t messing around when it came time to followup his tense thriller “Green Room.” First stop: go outside. Saulnier’s 2015 film is mostly set in an eponymous waiting room in a Portland club that just so happens to be a Nazi haven, and follows a punk rock band as they try to get the hell out of it. After months working with such constraints, Saulnier went to the opposite extreme with a thriller set in the Alaskan wilderness and based on the novel of the same name by William Giraldi.
Saulnier told IndieWire he “absolutely” wanted to do something different after “Green Room,” though he laughed when recounting just how different the actual production of “Hold the Dark” proved to be. “Flash forward to me, the cast, and crew in negative 30-degree Celsius weather — be careful what you wish for — but yeah, I wanted to break out,...

I am not going to lie to you and pretend that I know the slightest bit about what a blockchain video of demand platform is. I have no friggin' clue. But, I do know this. Macon Blair has been turning heads as an actor, most notebly for his frequent collaborations with director Jeremy Saulnier and his films Murder Party, Blue Ruin, Green Room and the upcoming Hold The Dark. Then Blair made an incredible first impression as a director with his debut film, I Don't Feel At Home In World Anymore last year. So yeah, Blair is definitely someone to keep an eye on.

We’re in the last remaining days of October, meaning many of us will be trying to cram in as many horror movies as possible between now and Halloween. For my last round of Shudder picks this month, I thought I’d go with a much looser theme: there’s nothing that ties these titles together except that they’re really good movies I think you should watch. Some you may recognize, others may be less familiar to you. All of them are worth streaming on Shudder.
The Bride of Frankenstein (1935, dir. James Whale) It’s not officially October without the Universal Monsters, so big thanks to Shudder for adding most of the big ones to their expanding library of streaming options. There’s no wrong choice when it comes to the classics, but I’ll make the case that Universal never got better than The Bride of Frankenstein, James Whale...

“It” may be a box office smash, but it’s hardly the only horror movie worth talking about these days. Just 17 years in, and the 21st century has already played home to a remarkable number of truly chilling and inventive horror offerings, from a resurgence in J-horror remakes to a continued affection for the classic series of yesteryear, to the massive dominance of the “Conjuring” movie universe and even a “Saw” franchise so dominant that it’s already cycled back into resurrection territory, and that’s just the mainstream stuff.
Aided by a new crop of filmmakers beholden to both their own obsessions and formative years steeped in the classics, the past two decades are shaping up to be some of the very best for the genre, with still more terror being turned out at a frightening clip. From visionaries like Guillermo del Toro and Gore Verbinksi, who can happily...

Viewers know Macon Blair from his powerful performances in Jeremy Saulnier's Green Room, Blue Ruin, and Murder Party, but in the new film I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore, Blair steps behind the camera for his directorial debut, and you can get an idea of what to expect in two new clips ahead of the movie's Netflix premiere this Friday.
"From the producers of Kelly Reichardt's "Certain Women" and Jeremy Saulnier's "Green Room" comes the story of Ruth (Melanie Lynskey), a nursing assistant suffering through a crisis of existential despair. But when her house is burglarized, Ruth discovers a renewed sense of purpose in tracking down the thieves. Accompanied by her obnoxious martial-arts-enthusiast neighbor Tony (Elijah Wood), they soon find themselves dangerously out of their depth against a pack of degenerate criminals.

Yesterday, Netflix officially ordered Jeremy Saulnier’s next film “Hold the Dark,” the follow-up to his 2016 thriller “Green Room.” Though details are generally sparse, the film follows a wildlife naturalist who is summed to a remote Alaskan village to investigate the murder of a young boy by a rogue wolf. While he’s there, he becomes involved in a dangerous triangle with the boy’s grieving mother and unstable father.

After making his start working on screen with writer-director Jeremy Saulnier — first with 2007’s Murder Party, then followed up by the indie smash success Blue Ruin (with Blair taking center stage), and finally with last year’s Green Room — Macon Blair has now stepped behind the camera to direct I Don’t Feel at Home in This World Anymore. An official selection at this year’s Sundance film festival, the film follows Ruth (Malanie Lynskey), a fed up and depressed woman who hits the final straw when her house is burglarized and her deceased mother’s precious spoon gone. Now driven, she sets out on a quest — as much, perhaps, to find new purpose in life as to seek revenge — alongside her oddball neighbor (Elijah Wood). Unfortunately, the duo quickly find themselves far out of their element against the pack of thugs (including Don’t Breathe‘s Jane Levy and...

If you’ve seen the films of Jeremy Saulnier, you know Macon Blair. While he’s been in plenty of other movies, Murder Party, Blue Ruin, and Green Room have placed Blair front-and-center, giving him meaty roles and asking him to pull off tricky characters. As a result, he has become one of my favorite actors and I […]

Lurking within pages, displayed on the big and small screens, and at home on the airwaves, the horror genre thrived last year. 2016 was packed with great genre offerings, and although it's difficult to filter through the creepy contents of such a banner year for the genre, I forced myself to choose the moments that stuck with me the most... and still haunt my nightmares.
Green Room: Never did violence feel more real onscreen to me this year than the scenes in Jeremy Saulnier’s Green Room. The third feature film from the Blue Ruin and Murder Party director is ripe with palpable frights in its depiction of a vicious battle between a punk band and neo-Nazis led by Patrick Stewart’s calculating Darcy. You can practically feel your sweaty palms wrapping around a broken fluorescent tube as the Ain’t Rights prepare for their most important performance yet as...

You may have heard about Shudder, the new streaming service backed by AMC (yes the very AMC known for Mad Men) aimed at rabid horror movie fans. I'd only glimpsed a fraction of what the service had to offer --- until now. And I'm thoroughly impressed, I have to admit. For people like me, Halloween is every day. (Insert Ministry's titular tune here.) For more general cinephiles --- or those who want to get in on the Halloween spirit --- Shudder has an incredible array of horror films from pretty much every sub-genre that I can see. If you want to get started on your Halloween binge watching right away, persuse the Halloween section for fun films like Murder Party, Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer, and...

*full disclosure: a Blu-ray screener of this film was provided by D Films. Director/writer: Jeremy Saulnier. Cast: Anton Yelchin, Joe Cole, Alia Shawkat, Callum Turner, David W. Thompson, Mark Webber and Macon Blair. Green Room is Jeremy Saulnier's third film and this reviewer has seen all three. Since Murder Party (2007), Saulnier's films have become progressively more violent. Green Room is even more gory than 2013's revenge thriller Blue Ruin. Throats are slashed, people are shot and still - there is no justice; one villain survives this brutal and quick paced story. As well, Green Room is notable as being one of actor Anton Yelchin's last films. His end was tragic, but he lives on here. Green Room is a strong indie outing and film fans should see this shocking title. There is no shortage of gruesome moments in Green Room. The film begins with the punk band Ain't Rights.

Very rarely do I find myself caught up in the hype that surrounds a movie before I actually see the thing. It’s almost impossible for any movie to live up to the expectations that can be cooked up in the human brain. Unfortunately for me, that was the case with Green Room. In all fairness, it’s a new movie by one of my favorite up-and-coming directors, and features several actors who I have a ton of respect for. Director Jeremy Saulnier had a very impressive — albeit criminally underseen — debut Halloween-themed horror comedy called Murder Party. While I loved the film, and a lot of super-Halloween horror geeks have added it to their annual Halloween playlist, it was his next film, Blue Ruin in 2014 that got everybody’s attention. Star Macon Blair would return with him to portray a different kind of broken man seeking revenge. Blue Ruin solidified...

After making his debut in 2007 with Murder Party, Indie director Jeremy Saulnier rose to prominence with the critically lauded revenge thriller Blue Ruin (which is rather excellent and you should track it down right now). Now, he’s back with Green Room, a movie that uses its basic premise, a punk band takes on a group of neo-Nazis skinheads, to build a terrifyingly tense, ultra violent siege movie that will stay with you for days. Pat (Anton Yelchin), Sam (Alia Shawkat), Reece (Joe Cole) and Tiger (Callum Turner) are The Ain’t Rights, a travelling punk band desperate for any type of paying gig, who are set up with a gig in an isolated backwoods neo-Nazi bar just outside Portland, Oregon. Despite opening with a cover of the Dead Kennedy’s 'Nazi Punks Fuck Off’, everything goes well for them until Pat stumbles upon a murder in the establishment's green room.

Director Jeremy Saulnier’s back with a new thriller, Green Room. He chats to us about John Carpenter’s influence, action and more.
Blue Ruin wasn’t Jeremy Saulnier’s first feature film (that was 2007’s Murder Party), but it was the one that saw his career roar off into the stratosphere. Made on a tiny budget, the intimate, exquisitely-shot revenge thriller caused a sensation following its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival. Suddenly, Saulnier found his film, funded via a mixture of loans, credit cards and Kickstarter, thrust onto the world stage as it racked up rapturous reviews and even a couple of independent movie awards.
Three years later, and Saulnier’s back with another thriller which, as he says himself, is both bigger and smaller than Blue Ruin. Green Room has a cast of familiar faces (Patrick Stewart, Anton Yelchin, Imogen Poots) and a larger...

Jeremy Saulnier’s masterful film, Green Room, got a theatrical release last month and I hope most of you saw it theatrically. I’m a huge fan of Saulnier since Murder Party and even saw Blue Ruin twice during a film festival. While I saw Green Room last year at Fantastic Fest, as soon as it was in St. Louis last Friday, I went to see it again. Imagine Assault on Precinct 13 or any siege film for that matter but done in reverse where our protaganists have to fight to get out of a room. Mix in skinheads with Patrick Stewart as the leader, vicious dogs and punk music and you get a general idea. The good news is, if you’re like me, you don’t have to wait long to see the film again in the comfort of your own home. If you were not fortunate enough to get Green Room in your city after the nationwide expansion on April 29th, this is even better news for you.

It may have been his recent thriller Blue Ruin that put writer/director Jeremy Saulnier on the proverbial map, but Green Room firmly establishes the filmmaker as a cinematic force to be reckoned with, as he confidently creates a tension-filled masterpiece brimming with hellish intentions and pulsating with a palpable sense of raw ferocity from start to finish. Simply put, Green Room is punk as f—k and features a blistering performance from Patrick Stewart.
Green Room follows a struggling indie punk band called The Ain’t Rights, who are on their way to a gig only to find out it’s been cancelled on them at the last minute. The group reluctantly agrees to play a makeup gig at what they’ve been told is a bit of an “extremists bar,” but turns out to be the hangout for a tight group of neo-Nazis living in the wilderness on the outskirts of Portland.

Chicago – Combining punk rock, neo-Nazism and horror is not an easy balancing act, but filmmaker Jeremy Saulnier (“Blue Ruin”) was up to the task. As a former punker himself, it was natural to transfer the energy of that music, and translate it into a slash and burn scary movie. It’s time to step into the ‘Green Room.’
The film is a gut punch, as a post modern punk band (which includes members portrayed by Imogen Poots and Anton Yelchin) needs a gig so desperately that they are booked into a Nazi skinhead venue. When a situation goes awry in the “Green Room” (the typical backstage waiting area), the band bites off more than they can chew, to put it mildly. One of the surprising elements of the movie is the appearance of Patrick Stewart as Darcy, one of the Nazi facilitators.

One of the most accomplished filmmakers to break into the American independent scene in recent years is Jeremy Saulnier, a NY-based writer/director who has been gaining serious momentum after the success of his 2014 revenge fable gone awry Blue Ruin. Saulnier has returned with an even more brutal thriller Green Room, about a group of punk rock musicians held captive in a skinhead club house after accidentally witnessing a a dead body. Relentlessly tense while balancing a constant sense of dread, the film encapsulates the essence of the interesting and compelling voice that sets Saulnier apart from the dime-a-dozen violent thrillers.
We were fortunate to sit down one-on-one with the director about his latest endeavor and discuss in detail some of the methods to his madness when he approaches a new project. From his writing habits to allowing actors to improvise on set, Saulnier delves deep into his inspiration behind the project,...
