    Crafsman goes to the BACKROOMS!

    June 17, 2026 /

    This is the Crafsman Steady Craftin’s full review of the A24 Backrooms movie directed by Kane Parsons AKA Kane Pixels. The film was a refreshing change-up from normal Hollywood garbage, offering eerie suspense, interesting dream-like designs, and a story that will resonate differently depending on what you bring to it. Themes of memory and regret, acceptance, change, and fear are big parts of this film.

    On October 22nd, 1964 the United States government detonated a 5.3 kiloton device 2,700 feet beneath Baxterville, Mississippi. The massive blast was felt by residents in towns 30 miles away. A second atomic bomb, and gas-type explosion tests were performed as well.
