The Backrooms, it delivers for the thinking person’s horror experience

The marketing for The Backrooms is top-notch. As someone who appreciates good marketing and a well-produced trailer, I am in. Our 16-year-old son has been watching the web series of the same name. He made us aware of its cultural prominence and then I started to see it in the classrooms. My students were all watching it, once their assignments were done, I like to tell myself. As a film, The Backrooms has a high bar to overcome.

The Backrooms comes in with lots of buzz and mainly delivers. It’s much more of a mystery or a scare, than horror, and a slow burn at that, but it delivers in the end.
WALK ON THROUGH THE DOOR

The Adam Project fills the big shoes of the films that inspired it

For teens in the early 1980s the only time-travel  jam that was worth your time was The Final Countdown. Years before Europe made it the title to one of the best songs ever, it was a head-bending, what-would-you-do, escape onboard a wayward American aircraft that traveled from modern day times to just before Japan bombed Pearl Harbor. Similar to The Black Hole, that film put an indelible mark somewhere and somehow into my movie-going psyche. The Adam Project has that same vibe, but it’s a movie that is sharper, more contemporary and much faster paced than its time travelling contemporaries. It’s also on Netflix, which is a fact that might add to people’s enjoyment of the film.

The Adam Project is a feel-good movie that blends time travel, action, humor and heart.
