Rated Backrooms 7/10
Say what you will about atmospheric horror but this film has a perspective on trauma (and healing) and the ways the mind is a maze of infinitely inexact replicas of The Real. I appreciated the directing, the sound editing and mixing, and the performances. I thought the plot was a bit thin and unfocused at times but I also had to dip out of the theater for snacks for a bit, so I may have missed some crucial details. What I did see does at least make me want to give it another try to put together all the pieces in a coherent way, which is saying something since so many offerings in media these days--movies, but also books and video games--are made for the lowest common denominator consumer. Very eager to see what this director does next.
