being alone and lost is not frightening to me
>>220792012AAAAAA an empty building D=
>blackedroomslol nah
>>220791979The original idea is pretty simple, hopefully they won't do the zoomer version of it where you have a dozen different levels and monsters and secret agencies fighting each other like its fortnite.
it's so over

>>220792251>t. hasn't seen or heard of the Kane Pixels seriesPsst! That's the guy directing this movie
>>220791196I watch this shit tomorrow with brother in law. Ive watched some of the directors videos on youtube, 3 parts, 2 were 15 minutes long, the other was 45 minutes long and honestly the most traumatic parts are the sounds, they sound demonic, just like pretty much all A24s releases. Maybe this is a different film.
>>220793095>checked the cinema near me>all seats are booked in pairsThis can't be all brothers-in-law.Do people really bring their gfs to watch horror films?
>>220793168This is uncommon, at least for me, its usually not fragmented this way.
>>220793168>Do people really bring their gfs to watch horror films?
Both my local Cinemark and AMC were only going to have like 3 showings per day but they all sold out in pre-sales. They finally added more today because of the hype. Ended up switching to a different showtime for a better seat.
>>220793168>Do people really bring their gfs to watch horror films?are you being serious? yes. obviously. thats literally the only kind of 'date' zoomers still do.
>>220793168bro
Ive never had a gf and if I saw a theater full of couples i would probably get very upset snd start beating the shit out of every chad i saw
>>220793328That's funny; all of the showings look more like >>220793095 than >>220793168 in my neck of the woods. It's picked up some since the early-screening reviews came out, but for about a month, it looked like my family (we're celebrating Dad's retirement) were going to have a screen all to ourselves.
>>220793168Girls love horror movies. Especially pretentious A24 ones.
>>220793441Yeah because it makes them feel the same way chad feels when he chokes her
>nigger finds the backrooms>immediately starts squatting in it and stealing things>later lures some Whites in and tries to kill themWhat did A24 mean by this?

>>2207911967.7
>Incredibly immersive production design, especially the massive Backrooms set and unsettling architectural details. Strong atmosphere and dread, helped by anxious found-footage-style camerawork and eerie 1990s aesthetics. But the story loses some coherence in the back half, especially once Mary takes over more of the narrative. Renate Reinsve feels slightly miscast, despite her talent. The movie doesn't fully live up to the hype, ending with more disorienting confusion than satisfying impact.
>>220791196>retards like slop
>>220795665What isn't slop to you?
>IGN gives it an 8/10>this translates to a 5 or 6/10 AAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEE
>>220795696You're simping for a movie based on a throwaway 4chan post.You need to reevaluate your aesthetic taste.
>>220795726You didn't answer my question. Why can't a movie like that be enjoyable?
>>220795740Because it was already done 8 years ago. It's fine as a one off youtube video. It's gay and pathetic as a Hollywood "film."
>>220795778The person who made that video made this movie. What makes it pathetic? What is your bar for quality?
>>220795799>The person who made that video made this movieAll the more reason to hate it. It's a cash grab, and you're a fucking retard if you can't understand that.
>>220792251Oh anon
>>220791196I predict this will be massively front loaded.
>>220795828So you're just a whiny little bitch who'd be perpetually unhappy about anything. Got it.
>>220792251I feel like the backrooms would be decent if you gave it any kind of story for substance that isn't this. I think at some point I will try a short backrooms-esque story just to see if it's possible.
>>220795894You're a faggot who consumes any slop that gets tossed in your face.Got it.
If this thing makes a shit ton of money does that mean we will have a bunch of ripoff movies coming out in the next couple of years?

It's probably fine
>>220799336i will saturday
>>220796386I like the idea of being lost in a huge empty space wondering if you're going to die of hunger and thirst more than le spoopy monster is lurking around too. Hopefully someone will make a story based on being lost in the empty pool rooms and stuff and be more mysterious than scary.

>>220799784>But he clearly goes in and out of it several timesYou didn't watch the trailer? That goes away at some point.>Would you go back in there again if you found a place like that?If I thought there was something about the place worth studying or learning more about, while not fully considering all of the possibilities like the main character in the movie, then maybe. Knowing how this sort of thing goes in the series, though, I'd just nope out of wherever that dimensional rift was forming and move as far away as possible. I could tell people about it, they'd laugh, and maybe years later, when my old house becomes a national headline for a string of mysterious disappearances all happening inside of it, they'll probably think I'm some kind of genius mass-murderer who somehow booby trapped my house to kill dozens of people, at least until someone gets the bright idea to film the inside of it... wait, I think that's pretty much the plot to House of Leaves.
>>220799977>You didn't watch the trailer? That goes away at some point.Wrong. The shot of Clark tapping against the wall he slipped through was during his first exploration and before thought of marking the null zone on both sides with blue tape.
>>220800072Fuck me then, I ain't seen it yet. Now I'm closing the thread before you spoil anything...
I will wait until the Wendigoon 3 hour analysis video.

>>220792021It will be once you're starting to get thirsty.
>>220800511Wow a reference to another slop movie from A24? The very same company he's working with right now? He's so cultured!
>>220792372>dolandarkestAh, he's a massive faggot then
>>220799336I saw it. Is passable, but kinda dumb. Basically Clark finds a two way portal into and out of the Backrooms. Since Clark is already mentally fucked in the head, he snaps and goes psycho killer. Gives me the Shining vibes. He starts bringing white people he knows into the backrooms so that he can get them killed. He tells his psychologist about the backrooms and wants to lure her in. Eventually he goes missing, and she for what ever reason goes looking for him. She eventually finds him and falls into his trap to kill her. The main monster ends up attacking Clark and killing him.
>>220791196STUCKMANNIZED
>>220800942To add more details. Clark is a drunk and his wife leaves him. He also has a failing furniture store. He finds the portal to the backrooms in his store. He tells Mary about it, but she thinks hes out of his mind. He then brings others into the backrooms complex and gets them killed. Mary doesn't hear from him and visits his store to find where hes at. She ends up finding the portal and gets lost inside looking for him.
>>220800976For Stuckmann, it's over
>>220793168Horror movies have been scientifically proven to elicit increased libido and wetness in women. If you can get her to feel heightened emotions she WILL fuck.
>>220800942>>220801097How is that scary at all? Sounds like something retarded theater kids would come up with for an improv session.
I just got out awhile ago. Audiences are going to hate it, because it’s strange and not all that scary. I liked it though.
>>220801259Rundown? What was it about?
>>220801217Unless you find big empty rooms scary, its not at all, save for a few scenes with the monster maybe. IDK, but 3rd person POV takes so much away from the film. The 1st person scenes were cool but not enough.
>>220800976I don't get why people shit on him so much for this. He's a Youtuber, he made a mid horror movie. I'd count that as a roaring success, because the expectation is fucking nothing. Most critics never attempt anything creative, because they suck (those who can't do teach or whatever). When they try it's fucking drivel (Kickassia, RLMs entire output), ideally "it was bad on purpose" so they don't have to live with the shame of having put their best efforts on film.That's the par. It's "The Incredible Bulk" and "Zaat" you should be comparing it to. Countless "walking aimlessly in the woods" horror movies.
>>220801572Oh let me add that if he should be ripped on, it's his terrible movie taste and having become even more spineless after making his movie (presumably driven by fear of losing that amazing foot in the door at Hollywood he imagines he's got).
>>220800942Holy kek, so that anons plot leak a few weeks ago was 100% right.What an utterly dull ending.
>>220800976i can't believe roger ebert came back to life just to review his movie
Okay just seen itFirst half was gudSecond was a dumb and cheesy creature featureEntire thing feels like it was made to be harvested for out of context social media shorts
>>220801837What made the first half good? The characters are the worst part of the film.
Can someone who's seen it tell me if the movie is consistent with the kane pixels BR shorts? One thing I liked was the shadowy government aspect of investigating the portals, not too keen if it's just random nobodies exploring.
>>220801872I didn't have to see the stupid tyvex suits and monsters and mainly just cool set design
>>220801572>>220801655STUCKMANNIZED
>>220792012>>220792036Is it really empty though
>>220796065>An episode inspired by the Backrooms was included in the third season of American Horror Stories, a direct spin-off to American Horror Story.[36][37][38] The episode stars Michael Imperioli as a grief-stricken screenwriter who falls in and out of the "Backrooms", ending up in mundane locations where he is confronted by a manifestation of his missing son.[39] The episode was one in a group of five to be released as a "Huluween event"
>>220801877I saw someone say it gets into what happened to the others that were trapped from the YT videos. Not sure if it's true or not
The movie felt like someone was trying to make a half life 2 horror mod but they could only kitbash preexisting game resources
Saw the movie.Clark is an asshole. The plot is a mess. Ending makes no sense. I guess the Complex makes copies of people that enter it or some shit now? Really misses what liminal space exploration should be and instead focuses on needless story, exposition and too many characters.
The entire movie feels like it just sorta happened with a shoehorned silent hill plot The background and set design was well done tho 2.5/5 stars
>>220801572Based Stuckmann with the trash talk
>>220801965Thr main monster is basically a distorted copy of Clark, but then Clark himself is also a psycho killer and beheads one of the girls he lures into the complex. His own copy kills him. Seems pointless to have a human be the villain, while also making a separate monster that is just that human.
I'll just say this: it was WAY better than Kubrick's feature length debut.
>>220801923Not sure about the YT series characters, but theres a scientist named Phil. The Backrooms is basically his mind and his nostalgia. He sees Clark and Mary on the TV commercials and creates versions of them in the Complex. In my opinion, making the backrooms a single guys mind is the stupidest ass pull and ruins and hope for an agreed upon canon
>>220802042Clark getting bitten and flung around like a doll by his own Still Life clone got a laugh out of me.>>220802230>theres a scientist named Phil.>The Backrooms is basically his mind and his nostalgia.Phil isn't Ivan Beck and The Complex isn't the product of anyone's minds, it just takes things from the world and fucks them up.
>>220801955The whole backroom setting in the youtube videos are just made in blender, so yeah you're not far off.
>>220791196THERE'S A CHAIR IN THE HALLWAY! HELP! HELP ME!
>>220802294Maybe I'm reading it wrong, but it feels like Phil is Ivan Beck. Clark's still life is very clearly based on the pirate commercial version of himself. And Mary being a great communicator on TV made her appealing to someone watching her commercial. Kane's storyline for the backrooms is too forced anyways and doesn't need to be explained.
>>220801097Honestly sounds mid should get 5/10 scores
>>220801965Kanes backrooms already had still life’s and bacteria monsters. Still life’s are copies of humans.
>>220802767Kane's "Found Footage" series is good, but anything involving A sync or explanations is retarded. Just show us cool locations and visuals.
>>220802979really? Found Footage tapes are fine but I found the parts with A Sync researchers trying to understand this thing more interesting
>what if you fell through the floor and ended up in an endless corridor with no food or wateryeah no wonder they added creatures to this there's really nothing to work with there
>>220792204no way this talentless nepo nig is in it.hard fucking pass. not even pirating it
>>220796065millhouse isnt a meme and andy sixx having a shit are next to be made into big budget summer blockbusters.cant wait
>>220796421its both
>>220791196that's kinda what that means, ya. 10% of critics couldn't be bothered to say it's at least 'meh'. RT's ratings are fucked. metacritic is still flawed but far superior.>>220795710correct
>>220791196The horror movie pity bump from critics means its more like a 60%
>>220801217Blackedrooms isn't really scary. It's just weird and is about wanting to go in and explore the space and understand it. Being trapped in some infinite space and maybe there being monsters in there would be unsettling if you were actually stuck there, but as a viewer you just want to know what's in there.The horror label is pretty limited. This does fall into the horror category but it's not scary. There is no name for this, the closest would be a mystery but that doesn't feel like the right label either. Maybe there should be a new label like ''horror mystery.''
isn't it crazy how balding miserable losers are here seething about others having fun and going to the movies?get a fucking life retards
>>220803467How is he a nepo?
>>220792426Why is he holding a cross?
>>220796841You just don't get it.
>>220799732I can, it's called having a job. *develops a splits personality and starts making soap*
Finally got to see it. Was it good? Not really. The visuals were neat but the movie has no idea what it wants to be. It tries to do liminal mystery, but also wants to be a traditional horror film featuring decapitated heads, neck gross out shit. It spends way to much time with human characters who can't act to save their life and even the monsters are just human actors. The ending is one of the worst I've seen in a long time, and ends abrutly. All it had to do was give one human a camera and then film a found footage style movie. They can't even do found footage and would rather focus on human character's life and backstories, rather than the backrooms. Then they expect you to care about the main character when he turns out to be evil. Hell they dont even call it the backrooms, its just "The complex."
Is the movie really racist?
>>220804797budget and time constraints studios know this and dont want to put too much in the film in case it fails
>>220804851Clark only hunts and kills white people so yes.They try to imply that Clark has white ex wife, because he makes the therapist wear a red head wig while speaking to him to represent his wife.
The Hollywood Reporter’s Angie Han wrote, “Eeriness for its own sake has its limits. The longer we spend exploring the Backrooms, the less frightening and more random these oddities start to feel. They seem designed not according to some internal logic of this universe or psychology of these characters but simply as an attempt to keep us guessing; it works only until it becomes apparent that there are no meaningful answers forthcoming.”
>>220800545Calm down
>>220804914Lmao the tiny hats tried to force thir agenda into the movie and based Kane only gave them a wig.
>>220804978Don't be mad that you and your butt buddy got blown the fuck out lmao
Does anyone have the script leak post? I can't find it anymore after seeing the movie
>>220793299In Japanoland we call this “The Suspension Bridge Effect”
>>220804440The people on this board and /v/ only find enjoyment from engaging in the exact same rage-bait threads and being disingenuous as possible.
I still don't even see the point in a box office movie of the backrooms it's just weird, it's not like old school scp. Idk why he didn't just keep making the found footage vids and the odd async exposition vid like he usually does. I'm still gonna see it but I assume it's gonna have that hollywood grime all over it and be very bizarre in a bad way.
>>220804797>They expect you to care about the main character when he turns out to be evil.He is just showing his true nature as a nigger.
>>220806769Racism is bad.
>>220806828Tell it to mr pixels
>>220806530Horror movies tend to have insane profit ratios since they don't need stars, just an interesting hook/monster
Obsession won
If you're not careful and you goon to the wrong BBC videos, you'll end up in The Blackedrooms, where it's nothing but the stink of black cum, the madness of being alone in the dark, the endless background noise of rap music, and approximately 6 million square miles of randomly segmented gooncaves to be trapped in.Science save you if you hear a black BVLL wandering around nearby, because he sure as hell has heard you.
>>220806828Yet only when white people do it. Curious.
>>220800942sounds eh, idk why with all the budget kane got, why not fully realize his A sync vision? He could have just made a feature length with people from A sync trying to survive and document backrooms instead we got some generic thriller?
>>220791979>normies are too dull to understand a one paragraph /x/ post, unlike me the 4chan genius
>>220808102It's not that, just read some of the negative reviews on there. They all say something akin to it being confusing and not liking the ending. But all the reviewers who are fans of Kane's Backrooms youtube series seem to like it because they know his lore for the Backrooms.
>>220791196I love Kane's youtube videos, but I hate that this film has become some sort of zoomer rallying point. It just rubs me the wrong way when anyone talks about Kane being 'immensely talented' because I feel like I could do at least as good if given the same resources and connections that he has. He isn't some prodigy to sent to save us.
If you're a hetero male you'll watch it because RenaCUTE is in it.
>>220808549Something tells me part of the reason he's successful is that he doesn't waste his time shitposting on 4channel
>>220808549Probably because zoomers are the only ones who cares about Backrooms so it caters to the audience
>>220808549Paul Thomas Anderson with Boogie Nights is what a filmmaking prodigy looks like (regardless of if you like the movie or his work in general).This is not.
>>220800942thanks. i was not expecting to see it so i am ok with reading spoilers. we live in strange times where hollywood got bullied by will smith into having blakc people in movies no matter what, i feel, and it's not organic, throws me off. just because of that i will skip this one, and others like that until things get back to normal or they get artful at it. does it makes me a racist, for not liking artless corporate forced diversity? i dont even care, but i won't have this conversation irl tho
>>220809560How do you know it's forced disersity?
>>220808549>because I feel like I could do at least as good if given the same resources and connectionslol. It sounds like you're another bitter failed filmmaker

>>220791196>>220800942>>220809560Here is the synopsis:>Clark (Chiwetel Ejiofor) is a divorced, alcoholic failed architect who now owns a failing furniture store, and finds a portal to a Backrooms level called “the complex” in the store’s basement.>Clarke manages to sketch a map of the complex, which he shows to his therapist Mary (Renate Reinsve), but she doesn’t believe him.>Clark recruits his employees Bobby (Finn Bennett) and Kat (Lukita Maxwell) to go into the complex with him to get video proof.>They find a hole in the ground and Clark lowers Bobby into it with a rope around his waist. A creature attacks Bobby in the dark and Clark and Kat are unable to pull him up.>Clark disappears, and Mary goes to the store to look for him. She finds the portal and goes into the complex, where she finds people fused to the walls and furniture.>Mary finds Clark, who snapped and wants to stay in the complex forever to escape his shitty life. He killed Kat because she wanted to leave and warn people, and prepares to kill Mary as well.>Mary flees, Clark chases her, and they encounter the creature that killed Bobby, a monstrous version of Clark’s pirate-themed store mascot, Captain Clark. It bites Clark’s and drags him away to his death.>Mary is rescued by scientists in hazmat suits and taken to a military lab. A scientist, Phil (Mark Duplass), explains that the government has been studying the Backrooms for years and has been unable to figure out what it is, only that it is infinite, comprised of multiple layers, and inhabited by monsters.>After interrogating Mary and determining she is a loner with no immediate family who will come looking for her, Phil puts Mary back into the complex both to keep her quiet and to monitor her as she attempts to navigates it.>The implication is that the mutated people Mary encountered where others the government did this to, and she will ultimately become one of them as well.

>>220791196>impressive, very nice>let's see the popometer
>>220810109none of the last couple of paragraph happens clark had a mental breakdown in the backroom after choking the psychiatrist out and strap her at a dinner table like texas chainsaw massacre, then have once again a therapy session where the foid actually come clean and say its clark fault and he blames the world instead of himself,he agree of letting her go but the monster whos just a copy of clark in pirate costume bite him to deathshe stumble upon the hazmat suit who save her and explain how the backrooms works, it keep creating version of things in the real world but fucked and it create a copy of Mary forgive the awfull English but that how the movie goes it left ambiguity the fate of mary
>>220809676i dont know for sure for specific films but i observe a general trend, where sometimes it feels like an odd choice. like when a women went tru some traumatic breakup with a white man , he died or he was toxic or went missing or wahtever and she finally want to live her life again so to symbolize this turning the page she fucks a black guy... many such cases in the hollywood movies. anyway so now i just take a blanket approach for some times, i dont expect missing out on much but if i am wrong for some films i can always watch them later on
>>220810845>>220810664The King in Yellow is just a series of bizarre but interesting short stories about a play that makes people go crazy and sometimes warps reality according to their delusions. It has absolutely fuck all to do with The Backrooms in any thematic way.Stupid ass fuck.
Movie plot twist is backrooms are now copying peoplethen why they turn Clark into a villain? Wouldn't ve make more sense to say that Evil Clark was the copy and then the real one appears to rescue Mary?
>>220804978he's right though, it's not impressive at all
you reckon the ||lady in red was clark's wife|| or nah?
It's better than what i expected out of a movie based on the backrooms, but that really doesn't mean much
>>220812481It's pretty obvious
>>220812528The YouTube debut episode was better, he's stretched the whole thing really thin at this point. I also say that as someone who consumed this shit from various channels constantly and loved the debut, but it's so tired now. The movie has come way too late to make a big impact.
any camrips?
I just watched it. They forgot to make the movie scary. Also the nigger pirate at the end looked silly.

>>220793168me and my gf go see every horror movie even if it's slop, it's our cozy Saturday morning ritual for years now
Just watched it. Was kind of shocked at how quickly things went bad when Clark and his employees started to investigate the unexplored area. The way the Clark monster slinked back into that horizontal door didn't seem to match up with how mobile it actually was. It almost looked like a tail or something slithered up into the door but the monster didn't have that when fully viewed. Not really sure why Kat was seemingly looking at Clark through glass in that one scene but to Clark it was a wall? I don't recall there ever being any notion of people experiencing different "realities" if you will while they're in there, but I guess it could be something new he sprinkled in there? I know there's a scene in one of the Youtube episodes where the cameraman talks to a guy in his home through a wall, but they both saw a wall, and that ended up being a portal into the backrooms for the guy in his home with him falling in. I liked the music sometimes being retreads of his audio from earlier episodes. That shit just gives off such a nice vibe for me. Was hoping they would go more into Async during the movie, but I guess now that more people may have their eyes on KanePixels stuff, he may start delving deeper into that with his upcoming episodes. I liked it.
>>220791196Waiting for the porn parody Backdoors where it's just anal
Where are people watching it?
Will he review it?
>>220791866>He didn't appearDissapointed, Kane owes Stickman his success
>>220809754I am probably a little resentful, but it is just because filmmaking just requires a lot of money and connections. That is the simple truth. Kane is good, but he isn't so good that I think you should fawn all over him being 20 years old and live through him. I just think people need some perspective. People buy into the PR machine hook line and sinker, because if they didn't, they might wonder why they don't get the same opportunities. A lot of money goes into making Joes feel like these celebrities 'are just like me' and 'This guy would have a beer with me and we would have a good time', and 'this guy represents people from my generation'. When you get confused over people acting parasocial, these are the thoughts running through their heads. Don't give into hero worship.
/x/ was already seething about youtubers stealing their content shitting out creepepastas voice over slop. this is the final nail in the coffin
>>220813559I dont fully understand why the pirate version hang around with the og but when mary is present he just go killer mode
>>220793406you could not beat up a single chad
>>220791196Found Footage 1/2/3 and Pitfalls >>> Movie
>>220813957Yah that didn't make sense to me either. The mural Mary saw seemed to imply the two did create a "bond", but him suddenly going aggro made no sense in the moment. It would make more sense if Clark had decided to leave instead.
So...The thing that killed the A-Sync guy from the beginning was the pirate too? Also wasted chance to show more animals other than seagulls, I liked the red girl monster walking
>>220813957Mary convinced Clark and pirate didn't like it, I dont think there is more than that
lmao niggyrooms lmao
There's nothing original about this, it is someone else's idea, even the image they posted used as the entire aesthetic. Adding a totally not SCP organization/monsters and a bunch of "mysterious" Dharma Initiative ripoff VHS style videos going into the mystery isn't original either. This kid is a hack with obvious industry connections
>>220813829I miss the lifeform.
>>220814060It could have been, but I think it wasn't. It was probably whatever that was manifested by that person
Just got back from seeing it. I liked it but it felt like too big of a chunk of the middle of the moving was missing. We go from Clark and the younger girl failing to escape an unseen monster after being chased, presumably this was Cpt Clarke but it may have been an earlier entity.Then the movie jumps to Mary narrative weeks later, we find out Clark survived but is unhinged, the other girl got decapitated but we don't know how or whether it was OG Clark or Cpt Clark.My headcanon is that the degraded memory versions the Backrooms makes of you partially sync up minds with you if you're in the Backrooms at the same time as the degraded memory versions. The Cpt Clark entity was ok, really didn't mind it because they showed as little of him as possible. The other degraded copies they introduced all looked like low budget Mirrormask photoshop freakshow people, I thought they were the weakest aspect of the movie.The Backrooms themselves as a setting/aesthetic were perfectly on point and whatever music they used right when Mary was about to cross the taped threshhold was peak. Overall though the movie does kind of meander and feel too artsy to grab actual mainstream appeal. You could def cut it down to a tighter edit and bring it from C+ to A- though in my opinion
>>220810109it is pretty obvious that isn't the real Mary but a copy. Something about how the backrooms copies what is being forgotten. because she's being held captive by the agency studying the place, she's becoming part of it as she's gone missing.
>>220814403It's funny how some like the third act and some don't. I thought that was when it was really getting good, the ball kept rolling harder and faster
>>220814480I think there's just too much of a disconnect in the middle part of the movie. Rather than a third act it felt like we got a first and partial second act for Clark and then ??? and now we're on a first act for Mary that races towards a kinda flat finish
>See the movie>Scene shows a photo of the black main character and his white ex>Kid in front of me audibly says “White Woman spotted”Which one of you fuckers was it?Movie was good by the way. My theater chain gave away a mini art print with each ticket.
>>220813421nick nolte you fucking pleb
>>220814561>i got a gold star for paying for the goyslop
Will watching the movie while high be a bad idea? This is crucial information, I planned a schedule around this
>>220813956It's frightening to think that Hollywood is so starved of ideas that 4chan is now becoming their favorite slop bucket for ideas.
>>220814657>4chan is now becoming their favorite slop bucket for ideasWith the example of one (1) movie, that has more to do with the guy who made it than its literal origins.
>>220814701There have been a few at this point actually, Backrooms is just the very latest.
Spoilers ahead. I watched it and I think the bar is so low with horror movies now that I can see how this ends up looking way better than most stuff coming out. I thought it was pretty decent honestly. The giant pirate chomping on the shoulder was a complete "what the hell am I even looking at" moment for me lol. And the whole "used to make MRI's" definitely felt like they knew way more about the place. Also the fact that the shrink ended up becoming one of the "fragmented", I guess you can call them that, near the end(literally last scene) was fucked. "It's not up to me if I can let you go". Feels like they left room for a sequel. I need more answers. I watched a youtube video on it and some guy said that its basically a mirror of ones self in a negative way. It felt dreamlike wherever they were.
>>220814728I don't know if a few schlocky direct-to-home-release/streaming movies in the 2010s are comparable to what Kane and A24 are doing
>>220814747Forgot to add the TLDR version with no spoilers. It had The Cabin in the Woods vibe mixed with the whole "The Further" purgatory realm from Insidious.
>>220814747That version of Mary at the very end was a copy of her, not the one who escaped. If you want more content go watch the youtube series.
>>220814747It was good, just got back from the theater. Pirate Clark was just too fluid and made me very uncomfortable in the best way.
>>220814755They are absolutely comparable and most of those other 4chan movies were indeed released in cinemas, same as this. They had mixed reception most of the time and I won't be surprised when Backrooms also receives mixed reception from audiences for being really mid just like the others.
>>220793168>Do people really bring their gfs to watch horror films?I used to be as retarded as this and brought my gfs along to watch any old movie.Nigger, fear makes women horny. By scaring women, they are more likely to put out. Misogyny is THE KEY to sex, unironically. It's why the 'player'mindset is always destroyed by feminists in one place only for it to independently arise somewhere else. It's so innately correct and women really are subject to simple biological determinism to such an extent, that that these ideas always return like a giant game of sexist wack-a-mole as different guys in different places all figure it out.
What was the point of the midget and the lamp with the laces? Just want it to look more circus like? I wanna know which actor played that part so I can laugh.
>>220813678the theater
>>220796091Genuinely is this the first movie created entirely as a result of an /x/ post?Have there been any other made with such direct origins to 4chan?
>>220814995Pretty sure that was one of the decor things his store was selling in copy form. The fat guy was a customer, lady in red his wife.
>>220815027Slenderman?????????????
>>220793168The two next to me were a couple and the girlfriend brought a blanket they were hugging each other with when it got tense
>>220791196It needs to make at least 95% to break even.
>>220814561Wish i had that kid. The guy next to me wouldn't shut the fuck up and was jumpy as fuck>"Don't go in there! Don't do that! You're stupid for doing that!"I wanted to strangle him
this guy played the pirate character.
>>220814125KEK
Any leaks of the movie? Don’t feel like going to theater
>>220814995Here’s what I took of those mannequins, but I obviously think it’s meant to be your own interpretation.I think it’s two things mixed into one. First, it’s people that were in the backrooms before.Secondly, it’s mentioned in the ASYNC interview at the end that they used to make MRI machines before doing work in the backrooms. Since it’s very clear the whole backrooms works itself based on experiences and memories, I.E. the brain, I think that the mannequins are people that were in the backrooms and currently trapped in there.As for why the woman sprung to life, I’m still trying to wrap my head around that. It’s one of my biggest issues with the movie. The one thing holding it back for me was its open-endedness. I’m not the person who needs all concrete rules explained to me, but I feel like if you rely on it too much, the film ends up feeling like you’re making it all up as you go along. Especially with the living mannequins and the ASYNC interview at the end. You can easily come up with your own interpretation, but it plays around with everything that we know, so it comes across as even more abstract than it should be.>>220815069They were annoying too. Always spoke to the guardian next to him explaining everything and made so much noise drinking his soda and opening his Twizzlers during heavy monologue scenes.
>>220815072Thumb head
>>220813421kekI want my POOL IS CLOSED thriller
Does Wendigoon have a MatPat-in-the-FNaF-movie-style cameo? He said he was on the movie set in his last Backrooms video. I just think that'd be neat
>>220815202The still-life was of Clark's wife, and was naturally afraid of the monster version of Clark. There's some allegory there of him being a monster. I thought it was a neat detail.
>>220815311He is in the prostate exam scene
>>220815202>As for why the woman sprung to lifecopy of Clark's ex-wife felt Pirate Clark getting near. Nothing more complex than that
>>220815331I'm gonna laugh in the theater if a single part of that is serious
>>220815319>>220815347I’ll admit I didn’t catch that, that’s on me. I thought the bald guy looked like the other furniture store owner from the commercial. But yeah the short guy I have no idea.
>>220799977Just saw it, it never goes away and he can leave at any time. He goes crazy and decides to live there until he gets eaten by a distorted doppelganger of himself in a Pirate costume.Some neat visuals. I liked the shot of the duplicate of Mary's childhood home where the camera kept panning down to reveal more and more stripped down versions of it until it was just a blank yellow room. The final shot of her doppelganger sitting in the rooms looked pretty cool as well. overall though it was pretty mid. As should come as no surprise the characters and script are the weakest part and exist solely to wander around a somewhat interesting looking setting. Never really felt any tension.
>>220813559That wasn't the pirate
just tell me does the whole thing take place in level zero or are there multiple backrooms with a bunch of different entities? Or is it 2deep4u shit and its all in their heads or some bullshit?
>>220812378I was fully expecting that at some point during the dinner scene she'd hit him and he wouldn't bleed and it would be revealed he's a doppleganger.
>>220812378Based on the Mary copy at the end, it seems to take a lot of generations to create a doppelganger
>>220802979Wrong. The episode where they do nothing but dissect a light fixture and describe all its components is my favorite.
locked in the faprooms with her
Just watched it. Overall 8/10. It has a story and the extra bits they added were creative and interesting. I enjoyed the new lore.Unfortunately, the film is really violent. I do not enjoy watching women get pulled apart and eaten. The entire subplot is misogyny and the main character's intense, overwhelming hatred of women because of his ex wife. So, it's really hard to recommend the film with such intense themes. Pepe is in the movie and pepe literally chews that bitch up and shits her out. The entire film is basically this gif.
>>220814747>And the whole "used to make MRI's" definitely felt like they knew way more about the place. It's a reference to CPI which is a few exits down from Mckee. That entire neighborhood is like the backrooms if it was outside, just miles of sealed office buildings and warehouses with no human activity or cars outside.
>>220814403I just enjoy the idea of edible backrooms puppets. It just feels right. It's appropriate for the setting. Fake doll people in a fake world. They're all made out of some sort of foam-like material, they do not bleed, and they have no thoughts or emotions. Basically zombies. Degraded versions of what's real. It's like there's "real" fakes running around somewhere, kind of like Invasion of the Pod People.I also watched this in the most appropriate location, the real world backrooms at southland mall. I don't know how that place is not abandoned yet.
>>220811533Yeah it's pretty clear that it was a copy of Mary and not her same with everything else.
>>220791196Can anyone tell me who owns rotten tomatoes?
>>220792251I honestly wouldn't be against it if done well. Something about russian soldiers getting chopped and eaten by slavic caricatures and cartoons is just funny and would be a good use of 60 minutes.
>>220813559I was thinking that the glass was going to end up being one of those one-way mirror things and ASync had a secret monitoring post there, but it never went that route. It could have also just been something mimicking her but that's a stretch
>>220793168I sat next to an old guy who kept mumbling and choking on popcorn
>>220815923I'm sorry, I'm just lonely
>>220814995They gave it a full name in the credits but I have no idea if it's a reference to something
Just watched it. Was absolute boring dreck. First 10 minutes were okay, then you realize that's the whole movie. can't believe zoomers are that scared of hallways to think this could be a whole movie.
>>220804582across of what?
>>220815927Nah it’s okay, me too brah it was crowded as hell in there
>>220815500Mostly the former, much like the Youtube videos. There's a few points in the middle where they explore further and it shifts away from the classic look (one bit is pretty Poolrooms-esque) but the overwhelming majority is the classic Backrooms look. There are "entities" but they're basically fucked up clones of people and not ooky spooky clown monsters or whatever
>>220795710At least we know it's not woke.
>>220807861Trademark this shit or kane dicksex will steal it and make it BIG without your consent.
>no big tittied big assed furry scp monsters0/10 fucking garbage
>>220816257the day you hang yourself after being exposed to your family cannot come soon enough
Just came back from seeing the movie. It's a definite 7/10. My favorite part of the movie was when the black guy was running from the monster and roaming around the place. It felt like what a backrooms movie should have been. I didn't like how the white dude got killed so early. Or how Clark became crazy so fast. I think it would have been more productive if the film tried to carry that energy onto the second half of the flick before rushing everything along to the end. Like, Clark should have been Act 1 and the couple act 2 while the therapist comes in for act 3 and wraps it up. That would have made for a thrilling ride through the backrooms. Oh and the movie is about trauma not about toxic masculinity, but I know magazine rags and video essayists will miss the point which is spelled out at the ending montage. The therapist was wrong to tell clark he couldn't change. Impressive for a first film. Far better than Chris Stuckmann LOL.
>>220791196Scared the shit out of me.
For the feature film, over 30,000 square feet (2,800 m2) of Backrooms were built, which reportedly led to people getting lost on set
>>220810109The part where clark decides to bring back proof to mary by going in with his employees and exploring unknown parts of the backrooms instead of just showing her directly or taking some fucking photos was very stupid. Horror movie characters always have to be kind of retarded for the plots to work but dat nigger was capital d DUMB.>>220814060but clark decided to stay and he told pirate clark that but got chomped anyway. makes no fuckin sense
For Backrooms 2: Back 2 the Rooms I hope they explore the red city from found footage 3
>>220816483I want to see pic related fight giant clark in the backrooms version of final destination.
>>220816535
>>220816535>>220816552they should make the aliens sequel to alien where they go into the backrooms with guns and flamethrowers and start blasting
>>220816483that title is pretty good
>>220816483Are they actually following any specific "lore"? Who even owns "backrooms" as an IP anyway
>>220816483Back 2 Back rooms would be a better title
>>220816320I think the big problem with Clark going cuckoo bananas is that there's an implied timeskip but we're not really clued in to how long. If they said he'd been there for a few weeks or whatever it'd come off better
>>220814480to me the part where clark brings his employees was the best part and the film didn't reach that peak again.the mixture of brutality, mystery, tension and sacres were great.once you find up it's a literal allegory to his subconscious mind, even the monster, it loses the mystery and creepyness and all.It was clear from the beginning that the movie will touch on that psycological subjects but it was too on the nose
>>220793168Lol ive taksn so many whores to horror movies, its such an easy pairing
>>220816689There is no definitive shared lore to the Backrooms beyond the basic premise of "there's a parallel dimension you can fall into and it looks like an abandoned building". The webseries the director made has its own story and specific "lore" that it follows but the movie barely acknowledges any of it.
>>220792251SPOILERS ASSHOLE
>>220810944>Bruh did you see the Backrooms(tm) that movie had sick POW, I went temp just from watching it, for real man you better elder sign yourself before going in
how did clark leave a message on mary's answering machine? He didn't take a phone with him and we don't see one in his stuffing person goon cave. Also what was with the cardboard cutouts? I think they mark places where ASYNC employees operate but no idea what the message they're broadcasting means
>>220793406When I saw Iron Lung probably ~60% of the people there were late teens/early 20s alt girls and it made me want to Gosling.
>>220816897It was a cardboard cutout of Jesus. The message that was playing was basically a common greetings in every language. Async was using those as a way to lure in creatures(Copies in the movie) in order to conduct visual research. That's why they were usually in areas monitored by a camera. A similar thing was done in one of the youtube episodes.
>>220816897they help them monitor the monster/people roaming inside
>>220816740>>220816757 I don’t think there was a time skip, I think he died or something and became possessed or a part of the backrooms after he set the camera down in that pool room. I think it would have made more sense if the movie followed what actually happened to him in there, or if he just died like his two employees. I agree that the tension and atmosphere was completely ruined when the entities were introduced as his friends, and he was just sitting having a conversation with the therapist lady.
>>220792021Funny enough, this is the same way the main character feels. He loves it in the backrooms and plans to stay there permanently but then a giant pirate eats him.
>>220816979preety sure capy didn't kill after he picked up the cameraIt hink he killed him after the session because the shrink made clark change his perspective, so capy didn't see him as himself anymore
I do find it weird that that has become some Gen Z beating of the chest. I liked Kane's videos before they were cool, and now it feels like a weird thing I don't want to be a part of. I guess as a zillennial, I don't really identify with millennials or Gen Z.
>>220817227Doesnt the concept of backrooms date back to liminal space scene which is firmly millennial coded?
>>220817302Yeah, analog is liminal adjacent, and that is millennial. I don't know why it has become a generation war thing.
why did they cast a middle aged black guy for the protag?i won't be watching it.
>>220816979Kane's backrooms have a mentally degrading effect on people. Clark was already on the brink before going in and this just pushed him over the edge.
>>220817302>>22081733110-12 years ago there were 4chan anons posting on twitter about abandoned malls. also various horror games have scary empty rooms where zombies pop out at you. empty rooms have always been somewhat scary if you've played enough games or watched enough movies where something was wrong and a sinister twist was around the corner. even goldeneye N64 from the late 90s had moments like that.that's what i remember.backrooms is definitely ripped off of that /x/ guy's post about specifically yellow rooms that stretch on and on.
>>220804797>Then they expect you to care about the main character when he turns out to be evil. They make it pretty clear early on that he's not a good person, that he's got anger issue, that he's a drunk, that he is a wife abuser, and so on. You can even see from his architectural drawings that he's a shitty architect too. They literally spell it out for you that he's miserable because he's a piece of shit who externalizes all of his problems.>Hell they dont even call it the backrooms, its just "The complex."I don't think they even call it that, and I rather like that detail. Why the fuck would they call it the backrooms? It's like a malignant alternate reality intersecting with our world at random points. They don't know what it is or why it does what it does. They explicitly only explore it because they are desperately trying to make sense of it because it keeps swallowing up people and spitting out monsters.
I liked it, but Skinamarink was better. It is still the best take I have seen on the liminal concept.
>>220808549>because I feel like I could do at least as good if given the same resources and connections that he has.Then do it, faggot. Download blender and start making short films like Kane did, which is how he actually got his start with no resources and no connections because he was a teenager.
I missed the opening of the film. I got in the theater right when Clark enters the backrooms for the first time. Can I get a QRD on everything I missed?
>>220816320Clark is already crazy by the time he enters the backrooms. It's why he goes back. It's why he doesn't call for help. He enjoys the backrooms. The backrooms is him. It's his home. It's a world he has no pressure or expectation within. It's everything he wanted.
>>220816431bro it is hard enough not getting lost in santa clara where they filmed it, because everything looks the same and all the roads loop back to mckee like in vivarium
>>220809949It's not. He fucked up a ton of details. So did this guy >>220810109they're trying to put the wikipedia summary in their own words and they're fucking up all the details.
>>220817354>why did they cast a middle aged black guy for the protag?because he eats the rest of the casthe's an insane oakland nigger this entire film is why santa clara used to ban black "people" from moving in
>>220817520A brief FF style scene of an A Sync character exploring the backrooms solo, gets chased byban unseen monster, dies. Then just character setup stuff, Clark going to therapy, fragments of Mary's childhood. An electrician visits the store because the power bills are through the roof and the lights are acting weird, checks the breaker box and there are weird switches on it that don't seen connected to anything.
>>220801877The company shit and the stupid squiggle monster are the worst part of the youtube videos though. Random nobodies exploring is the good part.
>>220817227That's the nature of many things in this vein. I liked the first couple FNAF games. What they became in the decade+ since are way beyond me.
Give me the camrip or i will cry
>>220817583Jesus I missed a lot. I went to a theater nearby instead of the one down town. Those fuckers show a minimum 30 minutes of trailers. Ran a little late expecting I would still be on time. Sounds like I missed a solid 20 minutes at least.
>>220817614Nigga it's just 50$, you can spare it to support independent filmmakers
>>220816462>but clark decided to stay and he told pirate clark that but got chomped anyway. makes no fuckin senseIt's probably because he thought he could reason with a place that is fundamentally unreasonable and alien. The actually confusing part is that Captain Clark was non-violent towards him and seemingly leading him deeper in, which somehow led to Clark becoming familiarized with a large portion of the Backrooms, which were already changing its layout, and he somehow became able to track down Mary and then knock her out long enough to drag her deep, deep, deep into the place. And only after that does Captain Clark snap and decide to brutally murder him on the spot.
Too lazy to watch the YouTube videos. Do I have to watch them?
>>220817620It's not about money
>>220817616Anon you replied to and for some reason it seemed like they skipped all the trailers at my theater too. I showed up at the listed showtime and usually that means a half hour of ads but instead the production company cards were coming up when I walked in.
>>220817664No but you should
>>220817664Are you familiar with any backrooms media
>>220817678Damn. Very annoying. I figured the movie just got to a quick start. Oh, well. Will probably watch later on a cam rip or when it comes to streaming.
IT'S UPhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrzdr78XK2Y
>>220817616NTA, but also, the chunk of rock the therapist is always staring is a handprint she put in the cement with her mom. You see the flashback of them pressing their hands into the wet cement before a crane dumps a load of debris over them, snapping her out of her memory and showing that in the present day, her childhood house is being demolished and she's still not over it.I think the next scene is Clark driving up to work, listening to the audio books from his therapist. Someone spray-painted "RIP OFF" on his store window. The roleplay scene from the ending is a callback to an opening scene where Clark and Mary are doing therapy and she asks him to go over the night his wife kicked him out of the house. Then we get the stuff with the electrician and the weird extra switches on the fusebox. There's also a scene where he's trying to record a commercial in that terrible pirate costume with a poorly strapped on peg leg where he's awkwardly hobbling around on the crutch (which we see a copy of on the floor in the backrooms later). The commercial is terrible and has a confusing pirate theme while he talks about sultans and kingdoms. His employees, the chick and the white dude, comment about how it's confusing.We see that Clark is living in his store and the power is fucking up, which leads to him discovering the entrance to the backrooms after he switches everything off in a fit of rage and sees the glimmer of light in the wall.
>>220817732Dafuq didn't know still lifes could review movies like that.
>>220791196This was boring as hell, people will collectively say it's good while nitpicking everything about it because (it actually sucks). It's not good, don't waste your time. Nothing happens, no story progression, really weak bad twist. This could be a 30 min youtube film and that's being nice. The script is BAD.
>>220817688How long?>>220817702I saw a summary of it from wendigoon but that was like a year or 2.
>>220817790Sounds like you didn't watch it.
>>220817804Hmmm you can skip prototype, and maybe archive.tar, overflow and motion detected.
>>220817654Considering how the monstsrs are perverted copies of humans, I thought it was supposed to be ironic for Clark that he gets eaten by his pirate duplicate because he was eating the carpet people himself
>>220817998I feel like we were missing some kind of clue. Like maybe Captain was angry that he brought someone into his "home" or that she was too much like his wife, which Clark is still assblasted about. Or that Captain knew something about Clark had changed because both him and Mary were finally fully honest with each other about their problems and their behavior. Or even just something like the Captain being a violent reflection of Clark's outbursts, so that was just always going to happen sooner or later.At any rate, I feel like we needed like 2 more minutes of something to clarify that bit. Monsters gonna monster, so that's whatever. But how things got that way to the point that Clark believed he could reason with and communicate with his monster doppleganger needed clarification.
>>220817830I did, cope away lil guy
>>220818092Then why are you lying, faggot?
>The black guy is a feral psychopath What did Kane mean by this?
>>220807816Tiktokslop. Cope Faggot.
Coming from someone who has no knowledge of any Backrooms lore or KP's previous work I really enjoyed it. I could honestly watch Clark wander around the Backrooms for another three hours just seeing random shit, it was calming. Loved the camcorder FPS stuff. It wasn't scary.
Just came back from the screening. As a big fan of Kane’s webseries, and his other projects like The Oldest View and People Lived There, i feel like this film is the perfect example of studio interference ruining a potentially great film.i get this is being treated as essentially a spin-off of the webseries, but using ASYNC when theyre never explained well to the audience nor diving into the noclipping was so fucking retarded. Also changing the monster away from the fungus/moss things was a massive mistake and it dragged the last quarter of the movie so much. The ending was also fucking mid. It feels like a watered down The Backrooms and im just left thinking that i would have rather it be its own thing and not have any references to the webseries if its going to half-ass the lore. Given the projected gross, i hope the success leads to Kane being given full creative control for future features but i hope he goes the Robert Eggers route and dips from A24 ASAP because theyre clearly trying to meddle like Miramax did in its latter years with Gangs of New York
>>220817597Yeah, I think you are right. I just need to accept it.
>>220818096Lying that it sucked? You are mentally ill and retarded. Nothing happens in the whole film, it's bad. Nothing is ever explained because the director isn't capable of writing a story.
>>220818397I got the vibe that Kane was in way over his head, he had no idea what to do with the story or create a story in the first place. The script is weak and the dialogue is pretty bad. He is capable of making a good film or at least directing one, but he needs a script writer.
>>220809820>t.
>>220818483Kane didnt right the film, some guy who was a writer on Ash vs The Evil Dead has the only writing credit. Kane simply directed when they should have allowed him to write considering Kane actually knows how to end on suspense with stuff like FF3 and Oldest View. The writer should never get a job again and Kane should not let Hollywood touch The Backrooms ever again.
>>220818512Thats the funny thing, he didnt write the script. Some guy named Will Soodik did. Kane only directed and lended some music. He clearly wasnt allowed to have full reign on the production.
>>220818483Lying that nothing happens, that there's no story progression, that there's any kind of twist.Fuck off you desperate retard.
>>220800511Under the Silver Lake is just such a bunch of nonsensical horseshit its comical. That scene has no meaning and no consequences it's just a stupid idea the director had, made it happen, filmed it and then the movie moves on.
>>220818397>Also changing the monster away from the fungus/moss things was a massive mistake and it dragged the last quarter of the movie so much. I thought the black monster in the first two acts was the Bacteria lifeform thing? While the entities in the third act was the Still Life monster type that was introduced in Found Footage 3?
>>220817512Skinamarink was NOT better. Its not even cinematic. Its a YouTube video. Backrooms is kind of mid to ok and its leagues better than that trash
>>220818556Are you an autistic zoomer dick rider he didn't even create the idea lmao, go buy another ticket and pretend it's deep.>Lying that nothing happensmonster is just a copy of yourself>no story progressionblack guy literal is unable to move on in his life, nothing is resolved, he eats a styofoam copy of someone, about 40 minutes of a character or character walking around empty hallways, yes I would say almost nothing happens, it's boring. MRI company is learning about the backrooms but "lol we dont know what it is doe!">twist"Is that a HECKIN COPY of THE THERAPIST!!! oh M G!!!!"I'm glad I saw it for free. >>220818535>>220818547Kane didn't even create the idea of the backrooms, if this is the future of cinema then I would say cinema is legitimately dead. I feel bad for people who wasted money on this shit.
>>220818630I found the main monster choice at the end worked for me. It was horribly unnerving and how it moved around was perfectly unsettling. I will say.I wish we got better glimpses of the other monsters from earlier in the film.
>>220818594UTSL is a masterpiece compared to this zoomer garbage
>>220804266Backrooms is badong
>>220818690No sane person holds that opinion. That movie is a directionless waste of time.
>>220818723absolutely filtered
>>220818535>Kane simply directed when they should have allowed him to write considering Kane actually knows how to end on suspense with stuff like FF3 and Oldest ViewI mean their endings are literally just "and then they all died at the end".
>>220791196If Kane had any balls he would've forced the audience to watch sissy hypno at the end for 3 minutes
>>220816740Async opened the portal that glitched reality in October 1989 where portals (null zones) started randomly appearing.The latest clip in the series at Kane's youtube channel "Static Dead End" where they explore the room beyond the pitfalls area is set in May 29 1990.Also in the movie we see that the motion cameras in the Backrooms pick up Clark roaming around on June 29 1990.
>>220818821There is a confirmed time dilation aspect in this continuity, it's what happened to that missing Async employee that the company tried to disappear
>>220818758
The pirate seemingly being chill with Clark at random was weird but i guess from the way he talked about the therapist leaving he was enraged at the idea that he was going to let her go or whatever, i'm more confused as to why the copy of his wife was initially aggressive when he first sees her but when he snaps she's passive and only responds to the pirate showing up
It's like the first part of the movie somewhat tries to remain accurate to the general concept of the eeriness of the backrooms being the uncanny feeling of the empty office space or whatever but then they said "wait a minute, this is fucking boring as shit, add a deeper layer with no lights where everything is destroyed and a monster"
