humm well. The epilouge spoils any surprise of what the backrooms is, the therapist patient thing is kind of naff. its unclear who the main character is. I think they tied the Clark character too much to the backrooms, where it should have been its own character. some unsettling moments, but overall the writing let it down. some nice creppy surreal imagery, but the imposed story of Clark took over. Would have been better as pure horror atmosphere, where the mysteries of the backrooms reveal themselves as the characters travel through them. Clarks family drama just detracted from this. Its a pity, could have been better Im afraid..
The therapist back story was so unclear what it actually meant. I didn't really care for them.
