The Backrooms Hate Situation

"Why is the volume not working?" -My ear's last words

"Too slow, get to the point" will be the death of actual art

Backrooms fans when a PNG of Kanye didn't chase the characters around for an hour

"Went in with an open mind" in twitter terms that's "no matter what I was gonna hate this movie"

I saw a staggering number of people open their phone and start texting, snap chatting, opening instagram during the film. Theater etiquette is dead, this is not your bedroom

“Too much rooms” 6/10 IGN

"It's like describing a movie to someone who had never seen one before. And then asking them to write a review"

Going to see a psychological horror movie and then complaining that its slow and that there issnt enough jumpscares, is what i find most strange about the mindset of the "haters"

the reason why people hate it is because there's a lot of visual story telling/subliminal messaging that they don't pick up on because they're too busy scrolling on their phones

went to see backrooms on saturday and i absolutely thoroughly enjoyed it. i will admit i noticed how slowly paced it was and, as a person who just EXISTS in the modern day, my brain was like "omg why is there nothing happening?!?!?! do something already!!!!!!!" but yk what i did instead of just whipping my phone out? i just sat in the slowness. i noticed every detail of every shot, i soaked in the discomfort and tension, and it made the whole thing so much more gratifying once i started piecing things together. a lot of these people are exactly like clark (as ironic as it is), unwilling to acknowledge their faults and blaming the world for their disappointment with everything.
