Kane Parsons’Backrooms bringshispopular series of viral videos into movie theaters. You don’t need to know anything aboutParsons’ two dozen YouTube shorts about “The Complex” — a mysterious space filled with bizarre rooms and hallways that seem to go on endlessly in every direction — to understand or enjoy the big-screen version, but the movie is very clearly set within the same continuity as the shorts, and builds upon the mythology that they introduced. So whether you want to go into the movie with a little background information, or you see the movie and want to go deeper (metaphorically, of course) into the Complex, the YouTube videos are the next obvious place to go.

In the first “Backrooms” short, someonemaking an amateur moviewith their buddies stumbles to the ground and somehow falls into the liminal space of the title. While exploring itsendless corridors and rooms, he encounters and then gets chased by a mysterious monster. The creature eventually grabs him and the unseen narrator drops his camera, which falls and falls and then somehow winds up thousands of feet in the air back in thenormal world before crashing to the ground. Although shot for basically zero budget, this first short — which has been watched over 78 million times on YouTube — features incredible atmosphere and impressive production design.

The fourth short begins with anonscreen title card that reads “Test #6,” followed by assorted B-roll of scientific equipment and the same doorway portal, now in October 1989.

Another very short clip, roughly 150 seconds total, featuring posters of various missing people — some as young as two years old — along with an animated line graph showing a huge rise in disappearances following the experiment that opened the portal into the Complex. Then a hard cut (and a flash of the logo for the Async Research Institute) takes us into the Backrooms themselves, with VHS found footage of a team of scientists in hazmat suits. The groupexchangesdialogue, but it’s muffled by their suits anddifficult to understand.In one room, they find what looks like a dead body seated by a wall that’s covered in what the voiceover describes as some kind of “fungus.”

(He never reveals what he’s seen.) The cameraman falls through one of the holes and discovers a new subterranean level. While waiting for a rescue he hears someone screaming.

Scary? Hardly! These are the worst horror movies in history, according to the users of Letterboxd.

Death Note (2017)”,”photo-description”:”

Average Letterboxd Score: 1.5

People love the Death Note manga, about a mysterious book that possesses the power to kill anyone whose name is written in it. They also generally liked the Japanese film adaptation; it was well-received enough to get several sequels. The American Death Note film, not so much. The movie got bad reviews from mainstream critics and even worse responses on Letterboxd, where it ranks far lower than something like Troll 2 (which has an average score on the site of 2.3). No one has the power to kill a movie by writing it down on Letterboxd, which is very fortunate for Death Note.
