Backrooms - Anybody Going To See It?

[Bread Pitt]

Opens Friday I believe but you'd never know it from the very little promotional work going on for it.

Great as an Internet series of shorts but might be a little bit marmite as a full blown horror film though.

The first YT reviews are coming out and it's getting very positive reviews as a general psychological horror even from general reviewers who aren't familiar with the Kane Pixels shorts on YT.

The die-hard Backrooms fans are giving it glowing reports, which is a good sign, even though you think they would automatically like it anyway, as very often media just gets mis-translated to the big screen and then fans hate it for not living up to the source.

It does seem from the people who saw it, that the first half of the movie is stronger than the second but on a whole, still positive.

Not much general promotion but loads of online articles about it - so they will likely have a solid fanbase to draw from when it opens. My guess is that it will make back a nice multiple of money invested in profits, unlike a lot of recent big-budget movies which have lost tens or even hundreds of millions for the studios that made them.

I'm definitely in line for this.

The original Youtube shorts are quite something, and I have a major jones for nowhere spaces anyway.

Something about them majorly upends my head.
