Pirate nigga is so funny. Looks like the Mandela Catalogue monsters who everyone swore up and down were the scariest things put on the screen since The Thing. Must've read some pseud describing the uncanny valley a million times.
I don't like gay generational war, but a zoomer making a movie about liminal spaces where the monster is a human with fucked proportions is just too perfect. It'd be like a boomer making a movie about beating commies to save Israel, you can't make it up.

i think it's the fear of growing up and misremembering the hallways of your past. using nostalgia as a fear. "is that how I remembered my schools corridors? that furniture store my parents took me too? what was that person's face?"

I think it was really well set up. If I interpret it right. The monster existed way before Clark even entered the backrooms. It was always a twisted mirror of his life on the other side of the store. That's why it felt familiar and like a home to him, it made him feel seen and heard.

People complain about it being a traumaslop but it does a perfect job taking what was basically an aesthetic and giving it meaning. It has been done before like Silent Hill and such but it was cool to see. Clark was an interesting tragic and sympathetic character.

>>220930841

>>220929813

>>220931105
Ignoring the monster-chasing-you aspect, the idea of being stuck in a uncanny place with basically no way out except a slow death due to lacking food and water is nothing if not a terrifying thought.

This film is about mk ultra mind control programming. The guy at the end with the labcoat (Phill) was the glowie handler.

>>220929813
That pirate nigger bites people to death.

Also it's a puppet made by Great Ape studio.

>>220929813
For me the backrooms is more scary for the whole no clip from reality bit, just the idea reality can glitch and someone unlucky can just fall in a hole into the backrooms. No preparation or way out, just dealing with the nightmare reality with watever clothes you had on.

>>220929956
The way the character explains it to the therapist he's holding hostage is that the place builds off memories from people who have been close to the physical structure. The way the things or people are remembered always look distorted.

The proper way to tell the story is to have evidence of the monster existing but never to show it. House of Leaves/Navidson Record does this pretty effectively.

The absolute closest the movie should get to showing the monster is a strong paranoia/suggestion that it MIGHT be in a room/hallway nearby but out of sight but you should never see it or even have any confirmation that it is actually just around the bend (ie: no unambiguous sounds or later proof that it was there).

That's retarded. Backrooms should be empty and ordinary (with the slightest sense of decay maybe, smell of mildew and the lights buzzing and flickering every now and then) and completely ambivalent about anyone inside them. Silent Hill works because the whole 'point' of Silent Hill is that it is a ghost; strong imprints of the past now a festering wound on reality. Symbolism works there because ghosts are deeply symbolic and tied to strong emotions or memories. Backrooms is just a giant, unfeeling, inescapable maze that maybe has a monster in it. Classical labyrinth myth.

it works in the original pasta because it never reveals what "it" actually is, it leaves it to your imagination which is far more effective. having it be some five nights at freddys animatronic or goofy pirate nigga just deflates the whole thing. they should have never shown an entity, just hints that there is something else in there, but never revealing what it actually is.

Everything Kane Parsons added to the concept reduces it. The premise of liminal spaces was
>you somehow spaz through reality and end up trapped in the dev environment forever because you didn't get there on purpose so you don't know how to leave there on purpose
Having it just casually accessed by reliable doors that are always where they used to be so you can pop in and out at will destroys the feeling of helplessness and incomprehension that made the liminal spaces meme good in the first place. Having scientists living and working their day jobs in the backrooms makes it seem almost trivial.

True. Imagine turning into one of the rooms and seeing someone just laying there dying of dehydration or starvation.

>>220935279
I would agree if I ever thought that was scary or interesting to begin with. When you're telling me there's no way to get out and it just goes on forever, what you're effectively presenting me with is just the concept of starving to death. And starving to death is probably a terrible way to go, but the environment doesn't add much to the scare factor of that.
If you're instead given immortality, what you're presenting me with is just boredom, which if you're younger than a gen-z'er you've probably experienced at some point, and know it's not actually THAT bad..

>>220936024
Perhaps the most interesting thing (which got abandoned) was that mold stuff, where it would infect people. Having the monsters of the backrooms being made from biological matetr from human remains would've been more interesting than "bro it just badly copies a memory from your brain"

>>220929813
Giant nigger pirate is scary enough because
1. Cant relax around black people they are evil vicious and dangerous
2. Giants are scary because they are bigger than you. Black people are already tall, an even taller black person. I shiver at the thought.
3. A black pirate? I don't know how thats a possibility but he has to be capable of real fucked up shit to become a pirate captain.

That may have been how it was on the YT series, but it's stated in the movie to be copying from memories and the copies behaviors are influenced by the persons mindset, which is meant to explain why the pirate goes full retard and kills the black guy.

Confront him for being a poser in a very public place. Preferably with all your other friends around so you can shame him for being a poser.
It couldn't be that you don't know everything your friend likes or does. He definitely is just being a poser.

I feel like I'm the only Zoomer that never got the appeal of the backrooms, it always felt like a weird dated relic from the early 10s creepypasta era.
I get that it emerged over COVID as a creepypasta version of liminal spaces and ambient music but I've always had a hard time of getting why it caught on given the setting itself is the only appealing part of it while everything else is pretty generic. As other anons have said it'd be a lot more novel and interesting if the "entity" was some lovecraftian being beyond comprehension we only experience from POV shots.

That's because it is. Limininal space had been a thing for a long time (especially in the photography world) and adding monsters drew in people.
>I get that it emerged over COVID as a creepypasta version of liminal spaces
It preceded COVID by over a year actually as that was when the original pasta appeared, that debut Kane video wasn't until sometime in 2021.
>As other anons have said it'd be a lot more novel and interesting if the "entity" was some lovecraftian being beyond comprehension we only experience from POV shots.
Pretty much. Kane's original video was good since you only get a glimpse of the monster and what it is or what it's made from or why it exists were all interesting and mysterious. The fear of the unknown is the greatest fear of humans and discovery is our biggest drive, so not revealing anything was integral. Instead we got this movie which throws all that fear and discovery right our the window.

Ok here goes
The main character, Clark, the black guy, leaves a message on the therapist's answering machine that raises concern so she goes to the furniture store he owns, finds the entrance to the alternate reality, and goes inside looking for him. The therapist finds Clark, he chokes her unconscious, and she awakens tied to a chair sitting at a dinner table with a six eyed man to her left, Clark in front of her. A woman who has a repeating face from ear to ear stands in the corner of the room (which mimics a typical kitchen) and a midget who looks like the dude who played the Oompa Loompa in Tim Burton's chocolate factory movie sitting in a wheelchair. On the table is three plates. Clark explains to the therapist lady his theory about what the alternate reality is and how it formed the people around them, how they feel no pain (while running a knife to the hilt into the six eyed man), how they don't communicate.
"The best part," he says "you can eat them." So he unbuttons six-eyes shirt, takes the knife out of his neck, carves a huge slice, and pulls out a chunk of wet, white, stuff covered in a thin layer of skin, and sets it on the plate in front of the therapist. Nobody actually takes a bite of the white squishy stuff.
