Backrooms terrifies while destroying at the box office, plus Ice Cream man disgusts | Bloody Good Horror Review
Bloody Good HorrorShow Notes
BGH enters the liminal this week as we review 20-year-old Kane Parson’s “Backrooms”, the film that’s been slaughtering the competition at the box office this summer. We discuss the liminal horror movement and its ties to Gen Z anxieties, the movie versus the web series, found footage, cameos, trivia and more.
Plus, Eli Roth (and Jon’s) project Ice Cream Man has a disgusting red band trailer full of murderous children, and Scary Movie has the dumbest (or best?) popcorn bucket you’ve ever seen.
Backrooms is an american science fiction horror film directed by Kane Parsons in his feature-length directorial debut and written by Will Soodik. It is based on Parsons' web series and inspired by the "Backrooms" creepypasta. The film stars Chiwetel Ejiofor, Renate Reinsve, Mark Duplass, Finn Bennett, and Lukita Maxwell.
