Blue Ruin

[John Bailey]

IT looks pretty scary for what I'm assuming is a kids' movie.
Green Room on the other hand is pretty hard to forget. Essentially a very
gory horror film with no supernatural elements. In fact quite scarily
plausible. Patrick Stewart is terrific. Reminded me of the UK film Kill
List. Wouldn't say I liked or enjoyed either but they stick to the back of
the brain.
