Backrooms'& Obsession Are Glimpses of a Better Hollywood

Everybody’s been talking and writing about the enormous box-office success and staying power of Backrooms andObsession, two low-budget horror films made by young directors who came to fame for their works on YouTube. Their startling feature film hits are being compared with the tanking of the new He-Man movie, Masters of the Universe, and the sinking profits of Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu, a franchise spectacle that started strong and faded fast as bad reviews and scornful word-of-mouth warned off viewers.
