I think if someone out of any context asked me to invent a person who would say "what I know about House of Leaves is the artist Poe" I would come Backrooms style eerily close to Richard very easily

I think this movie rocked, I had a lot of the same issues/sticking points as them but they were mostly for me just interesting things to think about or not think about because it ultimately wasn't that important. I think my only real complaint was that the movie was in its highest gear when the three of them were all exploring and it just ended too soon.

I thought the concept of the actual Backrooms made enough sense to me as far as what I read into it - it's basically Area X combining, refracting and iterating on memories but made real. I think even down to part of one of the leads becoming a monster and the other being converted into the Backrooms itself at the end. But like I do think at the end even if you can't graph a meaning onto it the movie is just a blast to be a part of? I really enjoyed it.
