After a therapist's patient disappears into a dimension beyond reality, she must venture into the unknown to save him.
“A harrowing trip to the dark heart of fractured memory, loneliness, and inner turmoil. It takes what’s psychologically horrifying about the liminality of life and transmogrifies it into something truly terrifying.” - Lex Briscuso, IGN
“It’s the carbonara of creepypasta cinema, adding savory Kubrickian elements to its source material’s heavily salted Blair Witch Project videocam style and displaying an inventiveness that makes up for any sense of derivativeness.” - David Fear, Rolling Stone
“Backrooms is deeply unnerving. Better yet, it’s haunting, leaving behind lingering shivers and ongoing anxieties. It’s smart, "elevated" horror for the tired-of-slashers crowd, but it has plenty of slasher shocks as well.” - Tasha Robinson, Polygon
