Backrooms

Given how many endless, empty geometric hallways our main character had to wander through, having Justin Long’s character from Barbarian pop up with a tape measure to calculate the square footage would have genuinely made this a 5-star masterpiece. Backrooms completely nails the…

Anointing a young, first-time big screen director as the new filmmaking messiah of his or her particular genre is a risky undertaking, to be sure. Does the fledgling auteur have what it takes to live up to that auspicious title? Is this an ordination that’s truly warranted? It’s…

New unofficial Christmas movie unlocked. Far more complex than I thought it was going to be, especially considering it was a combination of trauma based creatures and a touch of sci-fi uncertainty. Overall a good watch, and incredibly impressive from such a young creative mind.

Well, that was interesting. This is a well made horror-drama released by A24 that, to my surprise, nabbed $81 million in its opening weekend. Both Chiwetel Ejiofor and Renate Reinsve give solid performances and while a few moments lost my attention, there are few great scenes par…

Hmmm. Perhaps I just wasn't in the mood, but I really didn't get what the fuss was about with this. "Clark" (Chiwitel Ejiofor) is a recently divorced man who has big dreams but who is reduced to running (and sleeping in) his cheap and cheerful "Ottoman Empire" furniture emporium…

I'll start by saying I'm not a hater; I wanted to enjoy it, I really did. But I think some scriptwriting decisions were made that really hurt the final result. I'll begin with the scene where they discover the backrooms. While the opening scene is interesting, the scene where the…

One of the few Backrooms adaptations that truly understands what made the original concept so fascinating. Instead of relying solely on monsters and jump scares, it embraces the liminal spaces, isolation, and psychological tension that defined the Backrooms from the beginning. It…

This is genuinely unsettling. It's a lovely premise and it is well executed. It is creepy and unsettling and weird. It's the things you want out of this kind of horror and this movie pulls it off well. The cast is superb, the direction is great, the use of this concept and its as…

humm well. The epilouge spoils any surprise of what the backrooms is, the therapist patient thing is kind of naff. its unclear who the main character is. I think they tied the Clark character too much to the backrooms, where it should have been its own character. some unsettling…

**Score: 3/10 — An Engaging Walk to Nowhere** I don't like movies that go nowhere, don't make any sense, or lack an actual ending. And *Backrooms*? It's the poster child for all three. I feel like I've wasted a part of my life that I will never get back... time that could have be…

**3/10** - Maybe if it was a YouTube video it would've been respected more. Not sure why some reviews say that this is "faithful" and "not just jumpscares", because that's not fully accurate; It very much operates like a standard A24 horror movie. That's not to say that they do a…

Starts out good but gets weirdly bad, at least to me. Concept is interesting but it was unexpectedly slow and I lost interest in the plot.

Very good movie! I thought it was going to be more of a scary film. It is more phycological than a jump scare. Really makes you think what your mind can do. Definitely worth a watch. Well written and acting is quite good.

While this movie has some truly great segments and undoubtedly boasts one of the greatest custom-built sets of any modern movie, the extremely slow pacing and simply boring scenes unfortunately held it back from being something I could enjoy watching.

I enjoyed this film, was interesting, but the end bit is confusing I couldn't understand it wish the ending was better, mybe we could have understood it

Translating an internet legend to the big screen is a huge challenge, but A24 and director Kane Parsons managed to nail the creepy aesthetic of the famous "Backrooms." By relying heavily on practical effects rather than just green screens, they made the endless yellow maze feel i…

From its trailer, this seemed like a good movie. In watching, though, it was a little disappointing. I don't mind a movie leaving some lingering questions, but I think this one didn't reveal enough. I don't require a neat, fully-resolved Hollywood ending, but I need a little more…

This is another problem with Hollywood, was it Reddit or Creepy Pasta that did it first? I know the Why Files did a decent job with it. They all told scary stories and left the end open.... so Hollywood saw that it was a fan favorite story and they turned it into a movie, but the…

Backrooms has an unsettling premise, and there are moments where the atmosphere works, but it never sustained that tension for me. The empty spaces and strange surroundings are creepy at first, then gradually become repetitive. Too much of the movie feels like waiting for somethi…

Great movie - a thriller, not in any way a horror movie. There are definitely very brief moments that put us on the edge of our seats, but that's more about continually anticipating the next event, or room, or response. This movie is like walking through a maze. It's done a great…

Remember this ALL originated from ONE 4chan image with a string of text, now it's a movie. 💀

Props to them for actually going in there, filming and then escaping to post it.

When the movie ends, and you step out the movie theater only to appear in another one.

They made a 30,000 square foot set of real liminal spaces. Kane Pixels said that when filming was done, and the lights in the set turned off, he would just walk around in it with a flashlight. They shouldn’t have taken the set down after filming, they should’ve opened it as a tou…

The fact that they are not only keeping the VHS aesthetic, but also the soundtrack from the webseries tells me this is going to be pure peak Edit: just saw it, IT WAS ‼️‼️‼️

That dude from 4chan who started all this is probably in disbelief seeing how big it’s gotten

Props to the camera crew for making it out alive to post this trailer

I AM A FUCKING ARCHITECT
