Backrooms is a box-office phenomenon. But to understand its power, you need to understand liminal spaces: where the concept comes from, the psychology behind it, and how filmmakers have been using it for decades.

In this video, we break down the full history of liminality — from its origins in anthropology and Jungian philosophy, to iconic uses in The Shining, Twin Peaks: The Return, and Vivarium — and explain exactly how artists manufacture that eerie feeling of "betweenness."

🎬 WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:
• What a liminal space actually is (and where the term comes from)
• The 6 psychological factors that make spaces feel liminal
• How Stanley Kubrick, David Lynch, and others used liminal spaces in their films
• Why Backrooms works — and why the concept feels so universal right now
