backrooms rotten tomatoes: Critics Give the Liminal Space a Shocking 0% for 'Lack of Plot, Too Much Beige'
Meme historians are losing it over the ironic twist that the Backrooms—a phenomenon born from a 4chan creepypasta about endless, yellow, fluorescent hallways—has somehow landed on Rotten Tomatoes with a score that makes the movie Cats look like a masterpiece. The internet is now flooded with reactions comparing the film's "nonsensical entity chase scenes" to a 2-hour long loading screen, with one user quipping, "Giving this a 0% is the most accurate review in history; the Backrooms are supposed to be soul-crushingly empty, not a monster flick." The irony is palpable: a genre that thrives on quiet, existential dread has been dunked on by mainstream critics for being "boring" and "pointless," while fans argue that the low score is actually the most authentic representation of the experience yet.
