Horror Film

Director Adrian Chiarella's Australian horror film explores the trauma of conversion therapy, reframing it as a story of exorcism. While the concept is strong and original, successfully exposing the horrors of such practices, the film ultimately falls short as a horror movie because it fails to deliver genuine scares.

With a budget of only 10 million dollars and a viral web phenomenon in the background, "Backrooms" broke the box office records of the A24 company. Now it lands on HBO Max.

Eli Roth's new horror film hits theaters this Thursday, but the Film Review Board has imposed a series of unusual restrictions, including an absolute ban on minors entering the theater, even with parental supervision.

From $750,000 to over $443 million in revenue: how did an independent horror film become a cross-continental craze? The film that not only scares viewers but has become a cultural obsession in its own right.
