Honestly, I don't get the hype. It's just empty rooms with yellow wallpaper, no? But my Gen Z cousins were screaming about it, so maybe I'm just old school. Still, good to see international horror trends reaching Indian theatres. 👍

Yaar, finally something different from the usual 'bhoot-bangla' horror. The psychological aspect appeal to me. In a country where we've grown up on Ramsay Brothers, this will be a welcome change. Hope the makers don't ruin it with unnecessary commercial elements. 🤞

As a horror enthusiast who watched all those Kane Pixels videos on YouTube, I'm cautiously optimistic. The original concept thrives on the liminal space aesthetic, but translating that to a feature-length film is tricky. Let's see if they capture that eerie emptiness without relying on cheap scares. May 29th marked!

International release on the same date as the US? That's rare for India. Usually we get these films weeks late. Excited to experience the Backrooms phenomenon in a packed theatre. The collective anxiety 😂

I love how the internet creates these shared nightmares. Backrooms, SCPs, skinwalkers - it's like modern folklore. But I hope the movie doesn't become too Hollywood. Keep that raw, unsettling vibe that made the original concept so popular. Also, has anyone tried to make a Indian version with endless corridors in old government buildings? 😄
