Honest Trailers gets lost in the beige hell of Backrooms
Hell is a room stuffed with surplus office equipment.
Honest Trailers tackles Backrooms, the horror franchise where the monster is fear, the maze is infinite, and the production designer apparently died in a 1990s office park.
The genius of Backrooms is that it understands the creepiest places in America are not haunted houses or even the supermarket. Fear is a windowless corporate hallway with old carpet, buzzing lights, and the faint smell of a meeting that should have been an email. Honest Trailers, naturally, treats this as the grand mythic horror setting it is: office beige with murder vibes.

It is impressive that it took so long to go from renown recurring dream to horror film. next-up: "can't locate the class that you've got an exam in today!!" and "i've forgot to care for that pet that i got and haven't done anything for in like three months!!" and "oh no, my teeth are falling out!!" nonetheless, yellow and well-lit is a nice touch; very... liminal.
