I'm a guy that knows nothing about backrooms, never read any story about it, never saw any post, I only knew that it's a very big yellow room. I only watched the movie because my friends invited me.

I must say, I loved this movie. Very well shot, amazing sound effects, amazing acting from both main characters and an incredible and intriguing atmosphere. I don't even watch and rarely enjoy horror movies, but the mystery behind the backrooms is very compelling.

I have no idea what the complaints about the movie are and I don't care, it was definitely a welcome surprise to the movies I watched this year.

I agree. I knew almost nothing about it going in but I thoroughly enjoyed it as well. It was surreal and hard to define. I don't think I could give a summary of it. It's worth checking out no matter your preferences on film.
