Backrooms
holy fucking shitttt.
i’ll be honest, i didn’t have a lot of hopes going into this. the backrooms is a notoriously difficult concept to adapt, but fuck they pulled it off.
i was genuinely on the edge of my seat the whole time, jenna walsh i am so sorry for hyperventilating into your shoulder while trying to explain that the backrooms is kind of like generative ai. perfect tension, it’s like the kind where you’re trying to peek further ahead only to realise that it’s a movie and you’re gonna have to wait until the camera pans.
also, amy o’keeffe, how gay do you have to be to immediately recognise the motel natalie scattorcio stayed in in yellowjackets.
and i know everyone says this about everyone single thing they can possibly relate to their interests at the moment, but guys this is really was ethel cain vibes. very ptolemaea in the sense of “there’s nothing you can do, it’s already been done.” as i type it out, im like what are you talking about. but i definitely remember thinking it. the score was incredible, really a highlight for me. very perverts coded. hayden i know you like obsession may i suggest backrooms?
such insane performances from everyone i have to say bc omg blew me away. special mention to the white boy in the crop top. king i knew you were cooked the second i saw you in that crop top and i saw you were staying in the yellowjackets motel. clark you were amazing. give him all the oscars that you don’t give to mary. mary i loved you so much, stay final girl.
i feel i need to add how fucking terrified i was guys ill be honest i had to confront girls for sitting in our seats before the movie started and that was less scary. and we all know how much i despise confrontation. genuinely was hyperventilating five minutes in and gave myself heart palpitations if anyone sees this remind me to mention that to my dad. so sorry to the boy next to me who witnessed this. we had a real bond from making eye contact whenever we stuffed our faces with popcorn. stay crazy king.
and to quote charli xcx: kind of i think i’m gonna die in this house vibes?
