## Resource

On this week's film show, critic Emma Jones joins Eve Jackson to review the latest cinema releases. They discuss "Backrooms", the record-breaking horror hit from 20-year-old director Kane Parsons, now the youngest filmmaker ever to top the US box office. Starring Chiwetel Ejiofor and Renate Reinsve, the film is shaking up Hollywood's ideas about who gets to make movies.
