My wife is tired of hearing about Backrooms. That should tell you everything. Four stars and a heart. I was 100% bought in from the moment I sat down.

Kane Parsons signed a contract at 18, shot this film at 19, released it at 20, and just posted the largest opening weekend in A24 history. Chiwetel Ejiofor and Renate Reinsve are great — but the real star is the dread. Fluorescent hum, endless yellow wallpaper, footsteps you can't source. The quiet is the horror.

See it in a theater, with a crowd. Feel what it's like to be in that space.
