Backrooms2026

2026 ranked After this watch, I’ve really settled into this movie, and more stuff has fully clicked with me now. I feel like I understand these characters and what they represent a little more now. Cycles and giving into them or breaking free. Still life Clark can’t change itself any more than the real Clark can. It is his worst attribute made manifest and amplified, whether literally or metaphorically. Clark thought he could tame it or understand it, but he can’t even understand these aspects in himself. And it consumes him.  Mary lets go and breaks free of the cycle and breaks free from the back rooms. Or does she? Maybe you can never really escape. Does anyone really change? This movie is a new classic and a favorite for me. I don’t think I’ll ever really stop thinking about it, and I’m excited to see where these ideas go in the future. Really glad I saw it in the theatre one more time.
