Backrooms

from No Bad Seats · host Regent Cinemas

A film that started in the depths of YouTube horror has somehow become one of the most fascinating big screen releases of the year. This week, we dive into Backrooms and why its unsettling atmosphere, practical restraint, and internet-born creativity worked so well for us on the big screen. We break down what the film gets right, why the tension feels so different to modern studio horror, and how it captures that strange liminal feeling better than most mainstream releases.We also discuss the growing shift in Hollywood towards embracing online creators, with YouTube filmmakers and independent voices finally getting opportunities at a larger scale after years of proving themselves online. From viral horror experiments to breakout feature films, we look at the recent successes changing the industry — and whether this could lead to a new era of filmmaking.Find the show atYoutube - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1aMM1CQ1YVCOuUEJ9fP6uI_zJzkAhi-wSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/77bFLKC9dX2CcjqZNvZpe0Follow us atRegent Cinemas - https://www.instagram.com/regentcinemasalbury/Luke Mac - https://www.instagram.com/itslukemac_/Bratface - https://www.instagram.com/iambratface/
