source footage: quick video through a glass elevator coming back from watching Backrooms in a multiplex theater.
I spent the first 15 minutes grinning and thinking, ok, acting is good, sound and music are amazing, and it's good to be back in the world of Backrooms from the internet. I can relax, surrender to the story and enjoy myself..
then spent the rest of the movie gripping my seat, jumping out of my pants and laughing (quietly) at myself. Loved it.
one problem though: it wasn't until the end credits that I realized I wasn't going blind.. the projector was out of focus.. good at the bottom, but pretty blurred at the top. that sucked of them. but I'm glad I'm not losing my mind or my vision.
there is a scene where Mary finds the backrooms (that's all I'll say).. if this film isn't at least nominated for sound or music I'll be surprised.. and that scene alone will have earned it. also, wonderful acting and direction in that scene. just she and the wall. astounding.
I hope I didn't spoil anything for you.
I'm not a fan of the horror genre, but films like this might just make me one.
