Backrooms
My mind immediately started drawing parallels to Severance.
Much of the backrooms concept revolves around the mysterious nature of the office/backrooms. The deliberate decision to keep the workings of this environment is what gives tugs at the curiousity of the audience.
While this does create an interest in the audience much of the emotion and heart of the story is on the characters personal journey and this is where the backrooms lacks in. The characters simple do not have a compelling enough backstory and a sort of character that makes the audience root for them throughout the movie.
While the conpect of the backrooms is very interesting I simple don't think there was enough for it to be made into a 1 hour 50 min movie.
Nevertheless it was nice to watch a movie that is unique and creative, which is unlike the repetitive crap that is out nowadays.
