Backrooms | Movie Review [ENG-ESP]@davidpena2116d

As the years go by, new horror stories emerge, and at the same time, many may turn out to be true or false—just like the Backrooms, a phenomenon that has been mentioned in countless online stories, YouTube channels, and other platforms. It consists of a simple image: endless yellow corridors. That’s why the time has come to adapt it, and the film known as Backrooms is set to premiere. It has generated a lot of buzz for being that combination of horror and science fiction, leading us to wonder: what would happen if you ended up trapped in a place where everything is yellow?

This is a movie for those who enjoy this horror genre and that mind game, as it draws heavily on those internet references and builds a horror experience based on the sensation of disorientation. Furthermore, from the very first minute, everything here is the same—the same place, all yellow—and it becomes familiar, but over time, you can start to notice shifts in mood and fear.

A medida que los años van avanzando nuevas historias de terror nacen y a la vez muchas pueden llegar a ser de verdad o de mentira, tal como lo son los Backrooms algo que se ha mencionado en muchas historias de internet, canales de YouTube y en muchos otros espacios, la cual es una imagen simple, pasillos amarillos interminables y por eso llego el momento de adaptarla y que se estrenará la película conocida como Backrooms, donde ha dado mucho de que hablar por ser esa combinación de terror con ciencia ficción y nos lleva a preguntarnos ¿qué pasaría si terminarás atrapado en un lugar donde todo es amarillo?

Esta es una película para los que le gusta este género de terror y ese juego mental, ya que toma gran parte de esas referencia del internet y construye una experiencia de terror basada en la sensación de desorientación. Además, desde el primer minuto, todo aquí es igual, un mismo lugar, todo amarillo y se convierte en algo conocido, pero que con el tiempo ya se pueden notar cambios de aptitud y de miedo.

It had been a long time since I’d heard this, and seeing how movies today draw inspiration from the classics is truly admirable. One of the things that really adds value beyond the scares is the silence of the empty hallways and the feeling that the rules of the world have stopped working. Plus, everything seems to connect in impossible ways, creating a labyrinth that defies all logic.

Each scene, despite being almost identical, conveys fear and that mix of nostalgia and anxiety that comes from being trapped in a confined space—the most agonizing feeling there is in this life. It also makes perfect use of artificial lighting and empty spaces to generate a constant sense of unease, which is why every second of the film feels more real, and as a viewer, you remain attentive to each of the mysteries surrounding this universe and the constant uncertainty about what is really happening.

Tenía mucho tiempo que no escuchaba esto y ver cómo hoy en día las películas toman referencia de cosas buenas es de admirar y una de las cosas que realmente le aporta valor más allá del susto, es ese silencio de los pasillos vacíos y de la sensación de que las reglas del mundo han dejado de funcionar, además todo parece conectarse con otra de manera imposible, creando un laberinto que desafía toda lógica.

Cada una de las escenas a pesar de ser casi iguales transmiten miedo y esa mezcla de nostalgia y ansiedad al estar en lugar encerrado, siendo lo más desesperante que existe en esta vida. Como también aprovecha perfectamente la iluminación artificial y los espacios vacíos para generar una incomodidad constante, por eso cada segundo de la película se vuelve más real y uno como espectador sigue atento a cada uno de los misterios que rodean este universo y a la incertidumbre permanente sobre lo que realmente está ocurriendo.

I really liked the result and this adaptation of Backrooms, as it offers a different take from other films in this genre and shows that you don’t always need to show too much—often, what we don’t see is far more unsettling. Plus, there’s no action here, but there is a disturbing experience that surely no one would be prepared for. So if you’re looking for something different, this is for you—and to realize that sometimes the scariest place isn’t where something is chasing you, but where it seems like you’ll never be able to find the way out.

Me gusto mucho el resultado y esta adaptación de Backrooms, ya que es una propuesta diferente del resto de las películas de este género y es una muestra de que no siempre se necesita mostrar demasiado, puesto que muchas veces, lo que no vemos resulta mucho más inquietante. Además, aquí no habrá acción, pero sí una experiencia inquietante que seguramente nadie estaría preparado para eso. Por eso si buscas algo distinto esta es para ti y darte cuenta de que a veces el lugar más aterrador no es donde hay algo persiguiéndote, sino donde parece que nunca podrás encontrar la salida.

Hello everyone, I think a few years ago many of us were fascinated by the so-called creepypastas that came out of these forums. A horror story would be created that, over time, became very captivating. Classic, well-known characters emerged from there, such as Slenderman or Jeff the Killer. The thing is, back then, I have to admit I was a big fan, and these stories evolved until the well-known Backrooms came along, which are still very popular today, expanding more and more. And just this year, to the surprise of many, an adaptation of this creepypasta was released, which generated a frenzy from its trailer, and I recently had the opportunity to see it, so today, taking advantage of the opportunity, I'll give you my opinion about "Backrooms".

Hola a todos, creo que hace unos años muchos teníamos alguna fascinación por los llamados creepypastas salidos de estos foros. Se generaba una historia de terror que con el tiempo se hacía muy llamativa. De allí salían clásicos personajes conocidos, como lo eran Slenderman o Jeff the Killer. La cosa es que en su tiempo, tengo que admitir que era muy fan y estas historias fueron evolucionando hasta que llegaron los conocidos Backrooms, los cuales hasta la actualidad siguen siendo muy famosos, ampliándose cada vez más, y justamente en este año, para sorpresa de muchos, salió una adaptación a esta creepypasta, la cual generó desde su tráiler un furor y recientemente tuve la oportunidad de verla, por lo que hoy, aprovechando, les daré mi opinión acerca de "Backrooms".

Dirigida por Kane Parsons y escrita por Will Soodik, es una película estadounidense de categoría ciencia ficción y terror psicológico basada en la serie web de Kane Parsons, bajo la productora 21 Laps Entertainment y distribuida por A24. Esta recibió muchas críticas hostiles en cuanto a lo que es el desarrollo y el adaptar una historia como lo son los backrooms, alcanzando el número uno en taquilla.

Focusing on the plot, Clark owns a furniture store and attends therapy sessions with Mary, trying to cope with his divorce and his struggles with alcoholism and anger. Meanwhile, Mary is hiding a traumatic past. One night, while checking his store, Clark discovers something amiss, leading him to a labyrinthine space resembling offices with a curious and strange appearance. Seeking answers, he ventures inside with some acquaintances and a camera to investigate, setting off a series of events that reveal the unexpected and unknown world of backrooms.

Centrándonos en la trama, Clark es el dueño de una tienda de muebles, el cual va a sus consultas con su terapeuta Mary, tratando de superar su divorcio y sus problemas de alcoholismo e ira, y a su vez Mary oculta un asado traumático. La cosa es que una noche, mientras Clark revisaba su tienda, descubre algo irregular, llegando así a un espacio lleno de lo que parecen ser laberintos y con forma de oficinas con un aspecto curioso y extraño, y que, buscando respuesta, se sumerge con unos conocidos y una cámara a ver qué hay, dando paso a varias situaciones que irán dando forma a lo inesperado y desconocido que es el mundo de los backrooms.

Now, my initial thought about this movie was that it would delve into the various entities commonly associated with these areas, depending on the grade level and other factors. I feel that this was precisely what I was hoping to see; they certainly nailed it, particularly with the familiar classroom setting and the fact that the true extent of these spaces is unknown, following, of course, the creepypasta. As an aside, it's known that some curious events occurred during filming. Even so, from my perspective, I felt they focused on only one thing. While it initially seemed like a good hook, as the movie progressed, I didn't feel the connection I was expecting. This isn't to say it's bad, but I felt it lacked some of the classic elements that define this well-known story.

Ahora bien, mi pensamiento con esta película antes de verla era que se adentrara sobre los diversos entes que se suelen conocer que están en estas áreas, dependiendo del grado y demás. Siento que en sí era lo que buscaba ver en esta película; ciertamente le atinaron mucho, como lo fue el escenario conocido de los classrooms y el hecho de que no se sabe hasta dónde suelen llegar estos espacios, siguiendo, claro, el creepypasta que, incluso, como dato adicional, se sabe que hubieron ciertos eventos curiosos mientras se filmaba esta obra. Aun así, desde mi punto de vista, sentí que se enfocaron en una sola cosa; si bien en un inicio siento que es un buen enganche, a medida que pasa, yo, y siendo mi pensamiento, no sentí esa conexión que esperaba, y no por eso es que estoy decidiendo que sea mala, solo que sentí que faltó ver algo de los clásicos elementos que dan el sello a esta conocida historia.

Even so, as I said, it's a film that has received good reviews so far, as it takes into account key aspects and captures that unique mystery of backroom stories. So, if you're looking to learn about these topics, it's more than just a good recommendation. Well, without further ado, I hope you enjoy it. Thank you very much for reading this post.

Aun así, es como dije, una película que hasta ahora ha recibido buenas críticas, ya que toman en cuenta aspectos clave y dan ese misterio propio de los backrooms, por lo que si lo vemos desde algo para conocer sobre estos temas, es más que una buena recomendación. Por lo que, bueno, sin más que decir, estoy esperando que sea de su agrado. Muchas gracias por leer este post.

I Don't Like It In Here.

Backrooms appears to be one of a few films that have been responsible for breaking the internet recently, and punctuating a new state of affairs in which big production studios no longer seem to be necessary for artistic visions to see the light of day. The film is a psychological vision quest of a thriller that focuses on a disgruntled furniture store manager named Clark.

Kicked out of his own home for a drinking problem that remedies his frustration and resentment for not pursuing a career as a respected architect, Clark looks to battle his demons with the help of a successful psychologist named Mary. Here we are presented with the typical, self-assured shrink who adorns insufferable self-help books and lends her soothing voice to promotional materials that promise the unlocking of fresh new avenues for us sufferers of life.

Yet, Clark's dissatisfaction with the hand that he's been dealt is put on the back burner when he discovers a mysterious crack of light through a wall in the basement of his furniture store. He enters this newfound doorway, not like Lucy discovering Narnia, but rather like the kids of Hogwarts passing through Platform 9 and 3/4.

Alice, Meet Rabbit Hole

Clarks comes to find that this invisible doorway leads to a vast abandoned office space consisting of various rooms, endless hallways, corridors, stairwells, and storerooms. Each new room has the air of a modern art installation, providing always new entry points which present new pathways that both extend and yet also always connect to new and previously visited rooms. In exploring this vast labyrinth, Clark simultaneously, and metaphorically, explores the avenues of his mind, which is precisely what I believe the Backrooms serve to represent. In both exploring and attempting to explain this area, and by extension, his mind, Clark comes to demonstrate the parameters of the so-called impossible profession of psychoanalysis.

All of this is expressed very precisely in a key scene in which Clark kidnaps Mary in an attempt to explain the bizarre area they find themselves in. However, in his words, attempting to explain the Backrooms (one's mind) is like trying to explain what a dog is like to someone who has no experience of one, and then expecting them to explain it to someone else. What this leads to is a key omission from Mary: she cannot help/fix Clark, or anyone for that matter. This realisation speaks to the curious nature of the human mind, our unique lived experience, and the limitations of our language to express it. I wouldn't for one moment be surprised if one of the creators of this film happened to be well-versed in Lacanian psychoanalysis, the backrooms providing the known, and yet suggesting the unknown, thus presenting middle possibilities that hint at the Real.

Even the main actors in this drama serve as Jungian archetypes in a certain way, with each presenting their experiences and interpretations with domain-specific signifiers. Clark is the architect/merchant, capable of establishing an understanding of structures and layouts with his particular lens in a bid to find patterns and thus produce understanding. Mary, as the psychologist, enters at a different point through an analysis of language and behaviour. Whilst the scientist completes the trinity through empirical data, which hopes to synthesise everything. And while this presents a hierarchy, they are all equal in their ignorance and their inability to reconcile their respective set of signifiers to arrive at a common understanding. These, I claim, are the backrooms that are continuously created through our relational networks. Endless networks, indeed.

Get Me Out...

Keeping with the tone and general themes of this offering, Backrooms is a film that needs to be experienced rather than explained. It's a film that takes the more subtle approach to scaring the audience, letting the empty corridors and rooms do the heavy lifting, with ambient music that gradually builds tension and intrigue around every corner, matched only by deafening silences that tease with the possibility of terror. The 90's aesthetic also lends to the overall disturbing look and feel of the film, those unsightly, dull carpets, old-style furniture, and paint jobs amplifying the sense of decay, mystery, and madness. This is indeed a creepy offering that shows that less is more, and yet also that more is less. The audience may be right to feel confused, but through this film, we gain an interesting perspective on ourselves, or rather, the mysterious workings of the backrooms, which are our minds. I need a nap.
