- Mike Shulmanpřed 23 hHow do you review a movie like this? A movie that really plays by its own rules and doesn't give you much help understanding what's going on. It's not easy... fortunately I've been a fan of the YouTube shorts so I had a little bit of an idea what to expect. The way they expanded the shorts with a story that actually made the Backrooms into a creepy, slow burn full length horror film was great. You could tell a lot of care was taken with the script. The acting from Chiwetel Ejiofor and Renate Reinsve was great. There was more dialogue than I expected and the 2 of them made this film work. That said the main attaction of Backrooms is the well... the Backrooms. And the set pieces are all extremley creepy and disconcerting. Yet there's a familiarity about them for anyone who grew up in the 90s. The feeling that nostalgia mixed with horror gives you is... I don't even know how to describe it but it enhances the experience greatly. I won't give any spoilers but lets just say this movie only starts to explore the possibilities and the sequel is already being fast tracked. Backrooms 8/10
- John Dpřed 1 dnemComing from the mind of Kane Parsons, this was an amazing movie; it did all his YouTube stories justice and provided a one-of-a-kind experience. It left me wanting more. The music and set of this movie really blew me out of the water, and I would recommend this to anyone who is into mind-bending horror; this is the movie for you, and my movie of the year.
- Hipster ZOMBIEpřed 2 dnyWhat began as an anonymous creepypasta on 4chan has now evolved into a full blown feature film with A24’s unsettling adaptation of The Backrooms. Directed by series creator Kane Parsons, the film expands his viral web mythology into a suffocating psychological horror experience that feels less like a traditional movie and more like a waking fever dream you can’t escape. For the uninitiated, The Backrooms is essentially that recurring nightmare where the hallway keeps stretching farther away no matter how fast you walk, blended with the sterile emptiness of abandoned office spaces humming under fluorescent lights. Random junk litters endless yellow corridors, reality folds in on itself, and there’s seemingly no exit. Chiwetel Ejiofor delivers a quietly devastating performance as Clark, a man already trapped in the soul-crushing monotony of his own life before stumbling through a multidimensional doorway into the ominous labyrinth known as the Backrooms. Saying much more would spoil the film’s carefully layered mysteries. Renate Reinsve is equally compelling as Mary, Clark’s therapist, whose own fractured emotional state may be more connected to the Backrooms than the film initially lets on. Rather than relying on cheap jump scares, Parsons leans heavily into atmosphere, existential dread, and the terror of isolation. The result is hypnotic, unnerving, and deeply ambiguous. Its open-ended finale is certain to spark endless debate, especially among longtime fans of the mythos. Some horror audiences may find its slow-burn psychological approach frustrating, particularly those expecting a more conventional scare fest. But for viewers willing to surrender to its strange rhythms and oppressive mood, The Backrooms is one of the most haunting and uniquely unsettling horror films A24 has released in a while.
- James Saenzpřed 3 dnyi’m pretty sure the credits are incorrect here, as renate reinsve is credited as “dr. mary kline” when she should be credited as “mother.” the degradation of memory, the failure of recollection. at what point is a memory no longer a memory, stripped of authenticity and deconstructed into vagueness and dreamlike fugue? the nightmare is in the artifice, and the loss of clarity. parsons taps into the collective subconscious, funneling the generalized fear of the uncanny valley of the backrooms. the complex exists as this non-euclidean liminal space that’s bursting with amalgamations of approximations, and this eerie familiarity is so unsettling and is where the horror really shines in the film; the second found footage segment effectively blends this uncanniness with traditional horror tropes and made for a genuinely harrowing experience. abstraction of reality creates this sickening disorientation within time and space and i believe this allegory for unreliable memory is the strongest feature of the concept of the backrooms, so it’s kind of disappointing when the climax of the film culminates in a bog standard monster chase throughout the complex. sure, the still life clark works conceptually as a manifestation of his insecurities, pathetically lashing out at anything within reach, but it also drains a lot of the appeal of this style of horror; even though the still life is not representative of the complex as a whole, it does feel like it reduces the core narrative to a man vs. monster conflict that deflates the tension once the “big bad” is revealed. i still really enjoyed my time and parsons clearly has creative talent, and i’m absolutely sold on whatever projects he attaches himself to moving forward. besides, that final shot really affected me and i know i’ll be thinking about it for days to come.
