    Given how many endless, empty geometric hallways our main character had to wander through, having Justin Long’s character from Barbarian pop up with a tape measure to calculate the square footage would have genuinely made this a 5-star masterpiece. Backrooms completely nails the atmosphere in the first half. The grainy, handheld "home video" style shots build an insane amount of tension, and making the entire envi…

    Anointing a young, first-time big screen director as the new filmmaking messiah of his or her particular genre is a risky undertaking, to be sure. Does the fledgling auteur have what it takes to live up to that auspicious title? Is this an ordination that’s truly warranted? It’s serious business, both for box office tallies and artistically speaking. But does the heir apparent truly possess the skills, talent and vis…

Both Chiwetel Ejiofor and Renate Reinsve give solid performances and while a few moments lost my attention, there are few great scenes particularly towards the end. Don't know where the hype came from but good for this (and Obsession) for capturing the mainstream audiences. **3…

    Hmmm. Perhaps I just wasn't in the mood, but I really didn't get what the fuss was about with this. "Clark" (Chiwitel Ejiofor) is a recently divorced man who has big dreams but who is reduced to running (and sleeping in) his cheap and cheerful "Ottoman Empire" furniture emporium in small town America. The electrics in his store start playing up and upon investigation he is intrigued by a glimmer of light that appears…
