What Backrooms lacks in its script, the movie makes up for in its meticulously terrifying approach to liminal horror that gets under the skin.

Send confirmation emailI'm not a big horror person, but from the moment this was announced I knew I was going to see it. The story is amazing (warning, major spoilers down below) and the acting is very compelling
It presented the idea of the backrooms very understandably, especially to me as a person who had never seen a backrooms thing before hand.
Now, into the spoilers. Captain Clark is terrifying, he is tall and disformed and a perfectly made horror monster, the tense horror of the backrooms was executed so well, the slow build, and the fact that Clark became a semi-villain near the end surprised me. Anyways, all said, go watch the movie.
While it isn't as scary as it could have been, Backrooms features strong performances and makes effective use of its other elements in a unique way.
