It's like King said horror is just a reflection of society so if people are scared of rooms and girlfriends now then that is where society is at

The original 4chan post is about a guy who noclips everywhere and is only scared of the backrooms. So it's more about the 4chan post than the movie.

>>221250801
It's more like Liminal Spaces depend on intrusive horror thoughts that people in the 80's would consider unworthy of making a film about.
Take for example, when you're a child out with your parents while they antique and you see an old creepy oriental mask or something.

It would be a scary memory as a kid but silly as an adult. A normal writer with such an experience may implement a horrific mask into a greater story, but he'd never indulge some simplistic childish nightmare about the mask just chasing him around.

Kane Parsons seems to focus on that element, especially in his short film "The Rolling Giant". Literally "That art piece looks creepy, what if you were in a liminal version of this mall and it chased you around!"
It's the pure indulgence of irrational horror, ignoring all expectations of previous horror films to follow classic monster movie tropes.

No we aren't going to turn the antique Chinese mask into some story about an ancient Chinese wizard who enchanted the mask so he could steal blood from virgin teenagers. The mask will just straight up hover around in a liminal space with no explanation just like your childhood self imagined.

There are only a few films that really capture this from past. Poltergeist with the Clown and Tree especially, and House(the Japanese one).

Yeah, but he's constantly noclipping. None of that in the movie. It's a very retarded post

They're purposely missing the point just to repeat their own headcanon about how a generation is pathetic and lame. It's all fart smelling losers thinking they're philosophers who solve a great question.

Old horror monsters reflected the real life horrors of the time, which were mostly old white men running around being serial killers. The horrors plaguing society today can't be used as the basis of horror films because everyone would call you racist or a chud.

It's such a dull, uncreative and uninspired concept. I don't get how normalfags ever thought it was an interesting idea to begin with.

The incel was the horror icon in Obsession. And rightfully so, incels are society's greatest threat and need to be raped and killed.
>>
>>221250787
Obsession isn’t so much a horror movie as it is an insightful commentary on the incel mind.

Getting almost beheaded on the street by a foreigner is liminal. Current day Western societies are liminal.
>>
>>221251354
Yeah, I agree with the other anon.
>infinite
>poorly structured copy of reality
Those words don't actually mean anything and don't make the backrooms any "scarier". You really sound like a pretentious retard, like those faggots who pretend that they're deeply into Blood Meridian when they've only watched that 3 hour documentary from the Wendifaggot.
>>
>>221251418
If the words that I used sound complicated to you, then that shows how retarded you are.
>>
>>221251481
No, I said "more complicated", you retard. As in you're trying to use more elaborated terms that don't actually do anything to make this shitty concept sound more compelling.
You're also a moron who lacks reading comprehension.
>>
>>221251465
>Those words don't actually mean anything and don't make the backrooms any "scarier".
I was literally describing the backrooms. Infinite and a poor copy is exactly what it is. Unlike the original picture that only described the old horror icons.

And that still doesn't make them any scarier. Because overall they still boil down to just being empty hallrooms with grandma's wallpapers that just don't have an exit. It's the equivalent of being locked in an empty room by someone and waiting to starve to death, except the latter can actually happen to someone irl so it's actually scarier.
How are you too retarded to comprehend that?
