Trailer Backrooms

Inject this into my veins.

Not sure how I feel about the protagonist being so old, but that's probably an artifact of seeing the original videos, which feature much younger people in them.

I've loved liminal spaces for a while in RPGs and it's exciting for this to get the jump into mainstream awareness.

Yup. Gotta see it.

Looks like some similar beats to the book House of Leaves as well. I think the genre of liminal horror is really interesting. It will be interesting to see how it translates to the big screen.

This gives me Blair Witch Project vibes, in a good way. The feeling that something awful, somewhere off camera, is happening.

One of my film-watching rules is that I will give anything A24 does a shot. Hasn't steered me wrong yet.

That looks a lot better than the initial trailer. Isn’t there a similar liminal space horror movie coming soon? Something with a subway-esque theme I thought?

Was thinking both THAT and about some parts of a couple nightmares I had several years ago.
