Moviegoers are saying
This Backrooms horror film from 20-year-old director Kane Parsons has audiences split between praising its clever take on internet lore and criticizing its confusing, plot-light execution. While many viewers are impressed by the young filmmaker's visual prowess and authentic adherence to Backrooms mythology, others feel lost by the intentionally cryptic storytelling and abrupt ending.

Seren likedBackroomsAmazing set design, sound and world building- weak plot. It obviously intends to be ambiguous, but this is frustrating when the audience if left with so many questions. I was genuinely surprised when the credits started rolling as it seemed as though the plot had just picked up.
- Tate is "meh" onBackrooms
Cartis song has more of a plot than this movie. 5.6/10
Nick dislikedBackroomsif i was on molly i could write this too
zxki is "meh" onBackroomsBefore I mention anything else, I need to talk about the allegories because without recognising them, the film seems as bizarre as a Skibidi toilet. Mental health is, if not the running theme, specifically highlighted in the key dialogues with Mary in the beginning, middle, and end. I can't put it…
