‘Backrooms’ Will Make You Shudder – ScreenHub Entertainment

If you asked me ten years ago about horror based on internet lore, I would have rolled my eyes. Such not-so-great efforts like that awful Smiley film or something like Unfriended or the Slender Man movie. Films like that were cash grabs made by studios with little knowledge of internet culture and no interest beyond seeking a profit. If you asked me that one of … Continue reading ‘Backrooms’ Will Make You Shudder – ScreenHub Entertainment

In May of 2026, a movie was released on Criterion Collection that not many remember. For me, the release was a pleasant surprise and hopefully one that will bring greater recognition to a film I consider to be one of the most unsung masterpieces of the 1980s. That film is 1983’s Testament.

In the darkened corridors of a ship in space, a woman runs, electrical tones scream, and lights flash and glare in an uncomfortable strobing effect that overwhelms the senses. The visions get quicker and more chaotic, to the point that you can’t see what’s happening, but you can feel something. Feel something almost primordial. Whatever is happening, it’s violent. And just when you can’t bear … Continue reading The Art of a Good Film Trailer – ScreenHub Entertainment
