I've just suffered through the absolute slow, torture of the 2026 film Backrooms. The first ten minutes graced with an unseen person running through large, empty, depressing yellow spaces, quick jump cuts and sudden sounds played on my nervous system and the hand held camera work made me borderline nauseas. Save yourself, I say from the predictability of the premise, the borrowed sci-fi reliance of the unseen monster, always more frightening than the actual alien itself. I walked out on this film, which was repetitive in its imagery and psychological ideas. So much hype, so much nothingness.
