Backrooms

I wanted this movie to bewilder me. I wanted to scour YouTube for fan theories and talk for weeks about what this or that might mean. This was made by a very talented 20 year old but a child nonetheless, who felt the need to explain every single thing and was deathly afraid of having his version of this Internet folklore misinterpreted. A 500 word assignment turned into a feature film I’m afraid. It was surreal to see the backrooms on the big screen and I did get some good scares. But this film is like whatever. Could have been so much more if it would just say so much less.
