The Beverly Theater brings an intriguing film screening to the Arts District with "Backrooms," a movie that likely draws inspiration from the unsettling internet phenomenon of endless, fluorescent-lit office spaces and liminal environments. The intimate 150-seat theater provides an ideal setting for this type of atmospheric cinema, where the excellent acoustics and modern screening capabilities can fully immerse viewers in what promises to be a disorienting and tension-filled experience.
Whether this is a documentary exploring the viral internet concept or a horror film that brings those eerie yellow-walled corridors to life, the venue's downtown location makes it easy to extend the evening into the surrounding Arts District. The theater's cocktail lounge offers a place to decompress and discuss the film afterward, which might be especially welcome after venturing into the strange world of the backrooms.
