Just watched it. Only after reading this thread did I realize there was a series—I never watch YouTube. So, with no prior knowledge I kinda hated the movie while finding very well acted and creepy.


Watched last night. With wife and teenager. Im in the same boat, didnt know there was ever anything it was 'based off of'

But we all just looked at each other and said that was the dumbest movie ever... I agree it was at least intriguing 2/3rds way thru. Then just totally made you feel like you wasted 2 hours of your life

Seriously, I'd give the YT series a shot. It is exceptionally well done, especially when you realize it was created by a teenager with a camera and some SFX software.

As I said earlier, while not a prerequisite, it really helps if you are familiar with the Backrooms lore prior to watching this movie. Watching it without that would just leave you in a state of WTF, I'd imagine.

Wasn’t scary to me, I enjoyed it though. The whole thing with the 8 foot pirate was cracking me up

I previewed it before I would let my son watch it. I made it about half way through.

It sure does have a lot of F bombs for a movie targeted at Gen Alpha.

More F bombs than a Tarantino movie.

I took it off the watch list.

It was ok, didn’t find it particularly scary. Just odd.

Once the Pirate shows up it's closer to comedy
