Ich feier die Backrooms Videos, zumindest den originellen Core um Kane Pixels, A-Sync Research und einige andere Creator. Irgendwie liefern die Horror auf einer ganz speziellen Ebene, die das Genre bisher nicht abgedeckt hat. Ob das auch in Spielfilmlänge funktionieren kann - ich würde da erst mal ein Fragezeichen dahinter stellen, aber ich bin auf jeden Fall gespannt.
