CARMEN đź’śJun 4This was a mixed bag. Felt like a standard A24 horror movie tbh with the Backrooms premise. Not bad though

Backrooms isn’t really meant to “scare” you in the traditional sense. The tension and atmosphere is where the horror comes from
Also i haven’t seen the FNAF movies, how is it comparable to a movie like this? They seem like very different types of films

I think he means people are more fan of the world, execution of the aesthetics, lore vs the scares and plot.

It’s not eery or unsettling either. I love horror movies because I rarely come out of them without feeling something, and with this one I felt nothing.
It’s similar to FNAF because it’s reference laden and doesn’t really stand on its own outside of aesthetic and familiarity with the source material. I didn’t dislike it, there were parts I thought were good (namely Ejiofor’s performance) and I don’t wanna be too harsh cuz I know the director is so young but this was a pretty juvenile film imo.
Edit: to explain the FNAF connection a little more, they both feel steeped in the same kind of storytelling native to fan-theory YouTubers and creepypastas, in that there’s an impulse to over-explain without getting at any real substance. The original one paragraph blurb and photo of the backrooms is more unsettling than a feature length movie because it doesn’t have to go anywhere, it’s just a fleeting unease. I think this could have worked better as a found-footage film that didn’t have to explore any character development or explanations outside of the rooms themselves, because they are really all the concept has to go off of.

To each their own brother. I have a horror movie tattoo on my body because this genre means so much to me, and sometimes the flip side of being passionate about something is being a harsh critic. I’m glad you enjoyed it and I hope the sequel is good cuz I’ll definitely see it either way

hard disagree, a movie should contain character development to be marketable
