- The hype around this movie is absurd. It reeks of faux depth and a multitude of people mounting a Planetary Defense Force for its inadequacies. A lot of "Just... open your mind" and "It's open to interpretation". If any creative types manage to notate their "interpretations", please feel free to send it to the writers of this movie. They could use them. -Mostly boring. -Dollar General brand "SCP". -Entire premise of the movie was spawned from Creepy Pasta and that is very evident. -Leaves you feeling unfulfilled and wishing someone had filled those backrooms with plot and a proper ending. -Not that many characters in the movie and you end up not caring about any of them. I suppose the character development is open to interpretation. -Sets are repetitive (nature of the story), but some of the rooms look extremely low rent. Some decent. -"Horror" it is not. -This should have been relegated to film festivals and stayed there.
- What 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.
- Backrooms arrives dressed in beautiful scenery and immaculately constructed sets, and yes, the film is visually fantastic. Its depiction of a pocket universe built from forgotten memory echoes is rendered with real craft, and the underlying concept is disturbing in the best sense: a labyrinth with no author and no exit, only the accumulated residue of things people would rather forget. Chiwetel Ejiofor does a wonderful job with his character, though his transformation from a failed, drink-sodden furniture-store owner into whatever he becomes by the film's end happens too quickly and too neatly for my taste. Renate Reinsve also acquits herself well, but her character's arc ultimately felt like scaffolding for a story that didn't need telling, one that never quite pays off the time invested in it. I think the film would have been stronger had it leaned further towards the Blair Witch approach: less explanation, more dread accumulated through absence and implication. Instead, it goes nowhere, much like all the rooms it depicts. What I couldn't get past was the sheer stupidity of the characters when confronted with something plainly impossible. Nobody calls the authorities, nobody seeks out anyone with more knowledge or expertise. Instead, it's a headlong cavalcade into the impossible, followed swiftly by madness, with no thought given to the matter and no reflection offered afterwards. I didn't find the film frightening, apart from the one genuinely unsettling idea at its core: getting lost amid uncharted, endless space and dying slowly of starvation or thirst. That notion has teeth. Unfortunately, the film surrounding it does not. Mostly, I found it a bit boring. There's nothing especially scary here, no real plot to speak of, and no theme worth dissecting. What you get instead is a couple of hours of atmosphere, music, sound design, and characters whose principal function is to wander about and showcase the spaces. The whole enterprise feels like an attempt to capitalize on the Gen Z fixation with creepypasta. There's a valiant effort here to translate what was originally a meme and a game experience into a feature film, but the medium switch simply doesn't work. Backrooms offers plenty of atmosphere but little else.
- I did not understand this movie at all. It progressed quicker than you would think. Days passed and you didn't realize it. It was such a hard movie to follow, since you could not understand the concept at all. Then it was over and I was left going... WTF just happened???
This movie was not good at all
