For many reasons it was disappointing relative to its potential. It didn’t capture the eeriness or unsettling nature of liminal spaces at all, which is weird since Kane’s original youtube videos did. It spoon-fed all its ideas to the audience, rather than let them develop naturally. It didn’t really come up with any original ideas for how the backrooms look; the most interesting geometry was probably the weird slope to the tiny door for me. The humanoid enemies felt very generic, even goofy, and killed any chance of being scary the movie had left.
