Backrooms: A Scary Film With A Lot Of Depth
Backrooms as a horror movie asks an important question: “How scary, really, can you make an environment?” The answer—as it turns out—is very scary. As long as you make sure the location is both uncanny enough and has a strong enough sense of unseen threats, even a series of mostly yellow walls and yellow floors and awful fluorescent lights can become riveting. A slow pan to a dark hallway where you can hear something trudging around is infinitely scarier than any slasher villain I’ve ever seen.
