Backrooms is getting that sort of like, what all this noise about this, you know, this didn't scare me or this doesn't work or whatever.

It's getting that kind of classic backlash, especially to a horror movie and one that is so internet born.

Whereas Obsession just being a down the middle scary movie and people being like, you know what?

It is scary.

I like it.

It reminds me a lot of Weapons.

It's very similar to Weapons.

It does.

Weapons did have a lot of discourse, but for the most part, people were like, well, that movie is good.

And it had a kind of like force field around it in terms of quality.

And this feels like it is operating in a similar way.

Wow.

Shannon Doherty and Brian Austin Green.

Yes, he'd be in the Cooper Tomlinson role.

Yeah, exactly.

And Andrea Zucker would be... She would be the other girl.

The Obsession thing in particular is fascinating to me.

I think Backrooms has been kind of picked over and analyzed and deconstructed in a lot of ways already because it feels so unusual, but there is a long history of liminal storytelling at the movies, and so there are a lot of comps.

With Obsession...

A lot of people are claiming credit for that movie right now, but that was an independently financed $750,000 movie.
