That Backrooms is so watchable, creepy, and memorable is kind of a miracle. That’s because, when you really break it down, the film doesn’t really have much of a story. Most movies need a good story to be good. However, in Backrooms, it doesn’t matter as much. The world that director Kane Parsons has created and lets us live in for two hours is so endlessly fascinating and terrifying, you’ll never want it to end. And that kind of hook is all you really need. Based on a wildly popular YouTube series, Backrooms tells the story of Clark (Chiwetel Ejiofor), the owner of a furniture store who is incredibly depressed. To deal with that, he sees Mary (Renate Reinsve), a therapist who has her own problems. One night, Clark discovers that the basement of his store contains an entrance to an impossible space. A bright, possibly infinite series of rooms that makes no sense whatsoever. And so he starts to explore it. He tells Mary about it. And then he goes missing. That’s kind of the whole story. There aren’t really even any other major characters. Mark Duplass plays a small, mysterious role, and Finn Bennett and Lukita Maxwell are in there, too, each adding a bit to the proceedings. But that’s okay because Backrooms has the backrooms, and boy, are they awesome.
