    BACKROOMS - FILM REVIEW Special Guest Brose Avard

    This week on the podcast, the hosts dive into the unsettling horror release of the year, Backrooms. A film that has sparked huge conversation online for its atmosphere, psychological tension and its take on internet horror culture. The movie follows a group trapped inside a seemingly endless, liminal nightmare of fluorescent-lit hallways and shifting architectural design where reality slowly collapses around them. The hosts discuss the film's use of found footage, which is reminiscent of classic horror movies like Blair Witch and how it taps into the idea of liminal spaces. Which are spaces that aren't quite a room or a place but rather a transitional area that can be unsettling and eerie. They also talk about the film's cinematography, editing and score. Which all contribute to the sense of tension and unease. Ben and Brose praise the performances of the cast, particularly the two leads, who play characters that are both likeable and unlikable at the same time. They also discuss the film's themes of isolation, claustrophobia, and the blurring of reality and fantasy.  If you're a fan of horror movies or just looking for a thought-provoking discussion, this episode is a must-listen. The hosts' analysis of the film's themes and techniques is insightful and entertaining and their passion for the subject matter is infectious. Join them as they dive into the world of Backrooms and explore what makes this film so compelling. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
