Backrooms
An unsettling abandoned room filled with scattered dolls and shoes under dim lighting
I would say that at least in circles around the internet, the movie Backrooms is getting all the buzz and hype. From the Youtube web series that I haven’t seen (too old) comes the directorial debut of a talented twenty year old. The movie reminded me of Being John Malkovich and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, but I have seen others describe it like Alice in Wonderland or The Shining.
Honestly, it was it’s own unique story, and can’t be compared to anything else. It does leave you making up your own mind about what is happening, with a very vague and open ending that may frustrate some people.
I loved this movie, and with earlier releases this year like Hokum and Obsession, the box office has really returned to form with high quality movies that do not rely on CGI or formulaic story telling.
