finished watching The Backrooms 🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑
Peaks in its penultimate episode with a terrifying stalk/chase sequence that makes up the first half and more varied scenery than any of the rest in this 22-episode YouTube series. It's an intriguing concept and an impressive display of talent from someone who was literally a teenager when they created most of this. Unfortunately, it's a little meandering, dull, and aimless most of the time. Plus, the more the "lore" of the Backrooms is created, revealed, and explored the less interesting the whole thing becomes. Hoping the feature-length movie (also directed by Kane Parsons) really helps me finally understand why so many find this particular slice of internet-derived horror so scary, because outside of that aforementioned 21st chapter of expertly crafted tension, these endless yellow hallways and goofy looking tangled strands of fungus monsters don't frighten me in the slightest.
