Gen Z, the first audience whose primary gateway horrors were found in the dark expanses of the internet rather than the confines of the big screen, has been catered to in the last decade by such films as Slender Man and Five Nights at Freddy’s.
Like Slender Man, the Backrooms spontaneously generated on message boards and forums, growing from a 4Chan thread to a whole fandom built on images and posts in what was effectively a group writing exercise.
For the last several years, he has been working pretty steadily as an actor and musician, writing pieces for such big projects as “The Simpsons,” “Superbad,” and “The Losers.”
It would be more correctly categorized in the war fantasy genre shared by films such as Jack Starrett’s “The Losers” (1970) or Quentin Tarantino’s “Inglorious Basterds.”
