Backrooms

from Shoot The Hostage · host Shoot The Hostage Podcast

We managed to find time to wander aimlessly through the fluorescent lit yellow wallpapered nightmare of Kane Parsons’ Backrooms. Join Dan and a moderately functional Sarah as she recounts the joy of following a horror movie with a 3am trip to a real-life liminal hospital corridor for a CT scan. In this episode we dive into: The rise of Kane Parsons and how a 20-year-old turned a creepy pasta inspired YouTube series into a feature film. Why 75% of the budget was seemingly spent on suspended ceilings and why that works. The unusual vibes of the film. How Dan managed to connect with this one while filling his disenfranchised man quota. Why movies like Obsession and Backrooms are dominating the box-office now. We shall return! On August 3rd we're back with a brand new season. This time chosen by Dan. The new theme is "Size Doesn't Matter" and the first film we're sizing up is Ant-Man (2015).
