Every time an adaptation of some aspect of pop culture comes out, there are bound to be many who actively dislike it. That is the thing about adapting: some parts need to be skipped, cut, or reworked, and they don’t hit it off with everyone equally.
But in the case of the Backrooms film, young gamers are finding the most ridiculous reasons to declare it as a zero out of ten experience, ignoring the fact this movie adapts the original 4chan greentext creepypasta and not every single overblown derivative version of it. And trust me, there are many of those.
People mad that the Backrooms movie didn’t have a bunch of levels and entities and random TikTok songs in every scene is killing me
