Given how many endless, empty geometric hallways our main character had to wander through, having Justin Long’s character from Barbarian pop up with a tape measure to calculate the square footage would have genuinely made this a 5-star masterpiece. Backrooms completely nails the a ....

Anointing a young, first-time big screen director as the new filmmaking messiah of his or her particular genre is a risky undertaking, to be sure. Does the fledgling auteur have what it takes to live up to that auspicious title? Is this an ordination that’s truly warranted? It’s seri ....

New unofficial Christmas movie unlocked. Far more complex than I thought it was going to be, especially considering it was a combination of trauma based creatures and a touch of sci-fi uncertainty. Overall a good watch, and incredibly impressive from such a young creative mind.

Well, that was interesting. This is a well made horror-drama released by A24 that, to my surprise, nabbed $81 million in its opening weekend. Both Chiwetel Ejiofor and Renate Reinsve give solid performances and while a few moments lost my attention, there are few great scenes particu ....

Hmmm. Perhaps I just wasn't in the mood, but I really didn't get what the fuss was about with this. "Clark" (Chiwitel Ejiofor) is a recently divorced man who has big dreams but who is reduced to running (and sleeping in) his cheap and cheerful "Ottoman Empire" furniture emporium in s ....

I'll start by saying I'm not a hater; I wanted to enjoy it, I really did. But I think some scriptwriting decisions were made that really hurt the final result. I'll begin with the scene where they discover the backrooms. While the opening scene is interesting, the scene where the pr ....

One of the few Backrooms adaptations that truly understands what made the original concept so fascinating. Instead of relying solely on monsters and jump scares, it embraces the liminal spaces, isolation, and psychological tension that defined the Backrooms from the beginning. It eas ....

This is genuinely unsettling. It's a lovely premise and it is well executed. It is creepy and unsettling and weird. It's the things you want out of this kind of horror and this movie pulls it off well. The cast is superb, the direction is great, the use of this concept and its assoc ....

humm well. The epilouge spoils any surprise of what the backrooms is, the therapist patient thing is kind of naff. its unclear who the main character is. I think they tied the Clark character too much to the backrooms, where it should have been its own character. some unsettling mom ....

**Score: 3/10 — An Engaging Walk to Nowhere** I don't like movies that go nowhere, don't make any sense, or lack an actual ending. And *Backrooms*? It's the poster child for all three. I feel like I've wasted a part of my life that I will never get back... time that could have bee ....

**3/10** - Maybe if it was a YouTube video it would've been respected more. Not sure why some reviews say that this is "faithful" and "not just jumpscares", because that's not fully accurate; It very much operates like a standard A24 horror movie. That's not to say that they do ....

Starts out good but gets weirdly bad, at least to me. Concept is interesting but it was unexpectedly slow and I lost interest in the plot.

Very good movie! I thought it was going to be more of a scary film. It is more phycological than a jump scare. Really makes you think what your mind can do. Definitely worth a watch. Well written and acting is quite good.

While this movie has some truly great segments and undoubtedly boasts one of the greatest custom-built sets of any modern movie, the extremely slow pacing and simply boring scenes unfortunately held it back from being something I could enjoy watching.
