The Nothing, The Backrooms, and the Death of Imagination

Why Artax Haunts Us

Artax sinks into the Swamp of Sadness. Atreyu screams. The mud takes the white horse inch by inch, and his eyes go dark as he disappears completely. You are a child, crying into a bowl of popcorn, and you will never forget this moment.

Decades later, that helplessness found a new shape. It haunts Kane Parsons’ film Backrooms, where a failed architect named Clark, played by Chiwetel Ejiofor, finds himself trapped in an endless labyrinth of yellow carpets and buzzing fluorescent lights.
