We both enjoyed the unique new horror film "BACKROOMS." It's the first movie I've ever seen in which the set was the main character. Intriguing from start to finish. #movie #movies #film #films #horror #horrorfilm #scary #scaryfilm #horrorfilms #scaryfilms #backrooms #liminal #liminalspaces #liminalspace #quirky #original #entertaining #edgeofonesseat #ChiwetelEjiofor #RenateReinsve #MarkDuplass #FinnBennett #LukitaMaxwell #avanjogia #RobertBobroczkyi #KristaKosonen #KaneParsons #furniture

Unfortunately I can't say I would recommend Cabinet of Curiosities, as a whole, but the final episode is directed by Jennifer Kent (who also wrote and directed The Babadook) and stars Essie Davis and Andrew Lincoln. They make an incredible team. It's a gorgeous short film in itself, with all the depth you'd expect from a Kent story.
