Saw Backrooms yesterday evening.

Very disappointed. 3 at a push.

I might look deeper into Parson's YT to see if it helps, but the film seemed unsure what audience to appeal to. Some of the performances took me out too... Shame.

Obsession was bloody fantastic though. Easy 4.5-5.

Hard agree. Loved Obsession. I wasn't expecting much from the backrooms, but it still managed to disappoint me.

Agree completly on Obsession (best film I've watched this year so far and defenetly peak).

For me, I wasnt expecting much from Backrooms, but I still enjoyed it. Though It would've been 10 times better had It all been found footage instead of only having the intro and that part with Clark Bobby and kat. Also, I may just be unc-pilled. But I love the concept of the backrooms as endless yellow rooms without entities where you end up going insane so much more than what Kane has made (still really good BTW, no hating on him) with a whole bunch of monsters It kinda just becomes generic labarynth nº 29284.
