Backrooms

The cinematography and atmosphere is phenomenal. Some of the best liminal space horror I've seen in a while. It has a decent premise and amazing psychological horror. However, it definitely left a lot to be desired, especially with its execution of the characters (like Mary's backstory which isn't explored deep enough in my opinion or how Clark suddenly becomes insane within 5 minutes) and clunky storytelling. The second and third acts have immense potential, but they are pretty shallow at exploring the themes of isolation and the subconscious, and don't have the same "horror" factor as the first act. Still amazing for a 20 year old director's debut movie.
