#Backrooms (2026)

This came out around the same time as Obsession, and people wouldn't shut up about these movies. However, only one of them was worth the hype, and it wasn't this movie.

We start in a furniture store where a guy investigating electrical problems comes across a weird opening that leads to the backrooms. Similar to the Simpsons Halloween episode where Homer finds the realm that makes him 3D. Funny enough, Obsession was also inspired by The Simpsons. They were ahead of their time.

The place is weird and unsettling, with wacky architecture and everything is clipped into the walls. It's a good idea, but the movie doesn't really do much with it because that's basically the majority of this entire concept. They try to add some psychological burdens to the place, as well as scientists researching the phenomenon, but there's no real logic and no real payoff.

It's not a bad movie, but it's not great. I know people were gaga over how "low" the budget was, but I'm just not feeling it.
