Glitches in the Matrix: Analyst Discovers ‘Backrooms’ Rotten Tomatoes Score Is Somehow Locked at a Perfect 100% From Time Traveling Bots
A technical anomaly has been detected in the Rotten Tomatoes review algorithm, and it's sending shivers down the spines of data scientists. According to a forensic analysis of the audience score for the viral horror film *The Backrooms*, the user rating has been glitched at a perfect 100% "Fresh" since the movie’s premiere—despite zero human viewers logging ratings from the future.
"The code is looping on itself," says Dr. Elara Vance, a digital forensic analyst. "The timestamp metadata for 87% of the reviews appears to be from next Tuesday. It’s as if the film’s own ‘backrooms’ reality is bleeding into our database, creating a paradox where non-existent time travelers are giving it top marks."
Analysts are now investigating whether the anomaly is a deliberate server-side hack or, more terrifyingly, a sign that the *Backrooms Rotten Tomatoes* review system is succumbing to the same existential drift that the meme depicts. The film’s official studio has yet to comment, but the internet is already calling this the "most meta glitch of 2024."
