i liked how it referenced source material but it felt more like found footage, rather than an actual story

It’s very funny that people were trying to act like there is no way a 19 year old could have directed this movie when it is essentially a big budget student film.

While it creates incredible atmosphere and tension I have to admit I didn’t understand it. Due to my lack of understanding that undercuts any of the positive aspects. Would Not Recommend

I was not familiar with the concept of backrooms and i don't know how close it is to the source material, but I had a great time watching this movie, it was interesting, mysterious, tense and kept me invested and wanting more, so solid mystery movie for me. As for the horror parts, I wouldn't call it horror if I am being honest.

I'm familiar with the concept of the backrooms, just don't know the lore. Saw tidbits from streamers. The exploration of the backrooms were the strongest point of the movie. Next to Chiwetel and Renate's acting. They were also top-notch. Other than that it was rather weak. Someone compared this movie to EXIT 8, though they said this is the better execution of the similar ideas. In my opinion EXIT 8 performed better because the story was less. And in that case less is more. I guess we will see a sequel in the future. I don't really mind or care.
