Another guy who started on YouTube by the way. He's the original backrooms creator.
That's a solid cast. Looking forward to how this turns out.
I'm guessing this is a guaranteed success. Even better if it's a really good movie.

I remember seeing the game for the first time - looked wonderfully realistic and creepy, but the giant troll thing at the end ruined it. Doesn't matter though, there's a lot of potential for this and I'm very interested.

Funny you should say that because I hear this a major criticism of some of the newer "Back Room" and "Luminal Space" videos. Some folks are not liking the addition of monsters and other creatures. They say it takes away from the psychological form of horror these formats originally built on. .

Saw the trailer and genuinely thought it was a video game (there are others in the “liminal spaces” genre, believe it or not) until it said it was coming to theaters.
edit: oh I see this was based on / inspired by a game of the same name. Interesting, I guess.

Trailer looks great, they didn't give too much away either which I like.
