Alex Barasch, a culture editor at The New Yorker who's reported on this fresh cohort of filmmakers, talks about the record-breaking success of “Backrooms” and “Obsession” and what it means for Hollywood as a whole.

Rather than relying on obvious monsters, the film preserves the Backrooms’ psychological dread, mystery and open-ended possibilities.
