Backrooms

Kane Parsons nailed the visuals and the aesthetic, but it's clear that the other side of filmmaking is lacking. The pacing is rough, and any momentum the movie starts to build gets killed pretty quick. Found footage scene? New character. New character explores the backrooms? New character has 10 minute talk with old character. It kept slowing itself down so much I couldn't stay invested. I wanted to like it because of the feel, but it just couldn't keep anyone in my theater interested. At a certain point, after so much stopping and starting, the theater was laughing way more than they were tense or shocked.
