It was dogshit DUDE WHAT IF BACKROOMS BUT ITS ALL YOUR PAST TRAUMA LMAOKane needs to never work in the business again. Stick to YouTube kid. The entity is a giant retarded looking version of the main guy. BECAUSE HE HAS PAST TRAUMA!!! GET IT???
>>220818292of course it's dogshitmovies like these are always written by freshly graduated screenwriters
Don't get lost in the chocolate factory or else a giant Nerds monster will bite your head off with his strawberry flavoured Laffy Taffy tongue.
>>220818292>Kane needs to never work in the business againSilence, jealous loser.
>>220818292>DUDE WHAT IF BACKROOMS BUT ITS ALL YOUR PAST TRAUMA LMAOAre you serious? Wasn't that the exact plot of that Japanese movie Exit 8?
>>220818292>Stick to YouTube kid.Brutal
its the same thing with obsession and honestly most horror films. you need to actually tell a compelling story in your movie. zoomers dont get it. they want to give you an aesthetic with no substance
>>220818292I don't think it was specifically trauma so much asthat Clark's personal and mental situation reflected the nature of the Backrooms (a hellish loop where he lives in a drab isolated environment surrounded by furniture but desires to build something more) and that's why it resonated with him so compared to the previous found footage protagonists (who were just unlucky teenagers that literally stumbled into the Backrooms). Clark was also a piece of shit and that the Backrooms simply payed back in kind with the Pirate Monster version of himself
>>220818292looks like a half-life 2 mod
>>220818391and "Smile"
It's better than woke DEI slop. At least the movie had the balls to make the black character act black. I appreciate the fact that this movie is a window to how drugged out, fucked up niggers see the world.
>>220818292so they didn't understand the fucking source? classic Hollywood
>4chan post>purgatory nightmare you literally cannot escape from>reddit movie>epic two way portal zone you can go in anytime with scary monsters and found footage and the heckin evil company running their evil experimentsWhat went wrong?
>>220818699Sounds like Coraline if it was actually good
>>220818292>Kane needs to never work in the business againHe probably made good money and can go back to working on his own thing anyway
>>220818292Please no. Help me escape from this clean, reasonably well-lit environment which lacks furniture. Arggh.
Yes. That's what the backrooms are.It's a thing that people "think" it is.Backrooms were created for storage for a corporation. Infinite space but it got out of control and what they created they didn't tame. Didn't realize what they made.>It's kane's lorewhat did you expect OP?Stick to YouTube? he gave us what we were always going to get. The backrooms.
>>220818292Was gonna watch it now I don't have to thanks anon. Cinema is dead, tv is dead, zoomers killed it.
>>220818570>"WHY DIDIN'T THEY REMAIN ACCURATE TO MY DEEP TIKTOK WANNABE SCP LORE??"lol
Watched the movie today and uh yeah it was fun until the third act. Then it just devolves into wannabe rob zombie esq mascot horror shitstorm. It ruined the entire movie. The third act felt very dated like I was watching "house of a 1000 corpses" and not a liminal space 2026 horror movie that was brave enough to not show the dumb monster and ruin the movie.
Whats the next creepypasta/analog horror trend hollywood will jump on?
>>220820466I could see Kane doing mystery flesh pit national park and fucking that up too.
>>220820466Slenderman gets the A24 treatment (it's just a babadook remake)
>>220820466Anasi's Goatman Story
>>220820441Pirate monster is just 1 monster. Backrooms has pretty much infinite monsters they can come up with. Pirate Monster was a tolerable compromise since you can't expect normies to sit in a theater for 90 minutes just to "watch" a shadows kill people. I liked the idea that most of the monsters were made of edible foam which is an interesting concept.
>>220820617Blair Witch printed money and barely showed anything. I think this movie would of been fine if we caught glimpse of crazy shit happening to people. But showing the monster after explaining it in flat lighting sucked out all the scariness from the rest of the movie.
>>220820617There are two kinds of monsters so far. Lifeforms, which are bacteria that originate from human corpses and have been mutated by the Backrooms into its own living organism.Still-Lifes, which are attempts by the Backrooms to replicate humans as it does with rooms and objects but to the same mixed and uncanny results.
Kane 100% got fucked by A24 thinking things will be different from all the other times everyone else got fucked. I've watched the interviews and Kane is all in cope mode about how the backrooms are just this weird space you can fall into, he downplays any kind of metaphor or allegory, clearly annoyed that people who watched the movie keep bringing up 2deep5u themes.A24 pushed him to put a nigger in the movie and make it ''deep''A24 will not let you make a straighforward movie about something weird or scary, it has to be some kind of a metaphor.
>>220820897>straighforward movie about something weird or scarybecause it's not going to stay weird and scary for the length of a movie unless you develop it. it just gets dull. Blair Witch Project was a marketing success not a filmmaking one.
>>220820964And it pissed off a lot of people in the process.
>>220820897His brain-fried zoomer approach to the subject matter would have been just as ridiculous.The fact is, the concept was always as empty as the rooms.
>>220818292>exit 8>traumaslop>backrooms >traumaslopRule of three, what's the next gimmick horror movie that's going to bore everyone with uncreative psychotraumadump?
>>220820897>he downplays any kind of metaphor or allegory, clearly annoyed that people who watched the movie keep bringing up 2deep5u themes.Kane disparaged interpretations of the Backrooms as some kind of afterlife or purgatory, or having some kind of specific intent for those who end up in there. He prefers the more scientific angle of it just being some kind of glitch in the universe, the people who end up there are simply unlucky and the infinite environments/monsters that it producws is like the coding of an AI image generator going haywire.You can still see this in the movie, the humans try to infer meaning from what they're experiencing while the Backrooms is just attempting to fit different parts and pieces based on those who enter its domain (and failing terribly). Everything bad that happens to the protagonists in the film is the fault of Baron Mordo and his personality flaws.
>>220818292Wait it wasn’t Kanye?Fucking GAY
>>220820104Nah Async didn't create the Backrooms. It simply made reached contact with the dimension after the accident with the particle accelerator. The infinite storage space project was their attempt at "taming" and commercializing it for the larger company that was funding the whole thing.
>>220818391yup they just copied it.
>>220820466I heard Smile Dog is in production but maybe its fake news
>>220818292>The entity is a giant retarded looking version of the main guy. BECAUSE HE HAS PAST TRAUMA!!! GET IT???The monster is so goofy it just instantly tanks the whole movie
>>220819854>lacks furnitureGuess you haven't seen the movie
>>220819854Any place can become a form of hell if you're trapped in it.
>>220820611I'd watch that. Hell, there are alot of skinwalker stories that could work. There was one about this guy Tom who was an absolute /k/ommando who saves all his friends from a skinwalker that I always thought would make for a good movie, assuming it was cast well and written in a relatable and fun way
Watching all of you suddenly act like you don’t like this is so funny. Everyone on here having read an /x/ greentext before and it’s always literally>the Russian gooping mines>once upon a time I was a PMC, there there were Russian guys, and they got gooped with evil black slime and it was scary!!!Wow, he really soiled the source material from the shitpost on your Cantonese basket weaving forum. God you fags are sanctimonious about the most asinine shit. This thread is making me hope I go watch a stinker tonight just to spite this sentiment.
>>220822748I never disliked it but i also never loved it like most people seem to do.It's just big room with lanky monster
>>220818522cringe
>>220818570You do realize it was directed by the same kid that made the Backrooms series on YouTube, right.

>>220818292"Trauma" about what? TRAUMA ABOUT WHAT?THE MOVIE IS ABOUT NORMAL MIDDLE CLASS MEN FINALLY GETTING BACK AT OVEREDUCATED WHITE WOMEN FOR BEING PRETENTIOUS PRUDES WHO ARE NEVER SATISFIED WITH ANYTHING.

>>220821071TADC finale
>>220820466the going into games machine
>>220818391He's not. He's just an idiot who can't recognize thematic parallels. The two main characters are mentally ill and frustrated that the habits and behaviors they keep relapsing into aren't fixing their shitty lives. Black guy tries to retreat into living in a shitty half-remembered version of his house that he got kicked out of for being a drunken asshole all the time, and thinks he can live happily ever after in an amoral, uncaring labyrinth. Then it kills him, because it is NOT the therapy dimension and it is not a place that is trying to help anyone or achieve anything.
>>220820897Except that the movie makes it very clear that no one fucking understands it and that it isn't tied to any one person or place and that A-Sync is absolutely fucking clueless also, despite exploring it for an unspecified amount of time before the movie starts. Trying to assign meaning and psychological trauma to it is what gets the main character killed. Kane isn't coping at all.
Why can't horror movie makers make anything beyond traumaslop nowadays?
>>220820495Could actually be cool with the right person. Would need a pretty big budget though.
>>220823202The people who made the Backrooms a thing in the first place left ages ago. The only people left here are idiots like me who can't break their addiction to shitposting, and mentally unstable zoomers who are desperate to show other mentally unstable zoomers how angry they are about everything so they can fit in with all the other performatively outraged mentally ill zoomers.Most of the threads about this movie from the last week or so have been made by and filled with people who clearly didn't watch the movie and are getting pissed off because some other idiot who didn't see the movie gave them the most incorrect, braindead, uncharitable summary of the movie.

I know I should go to a therapist about this but am I wrong for thinking Clark deserved better in his marriage? It’s laid out plainly that he worked constantly, with all of that money being funneled into:>a household he wasn’t in control of>providing utilities/food for both him and his wife>his wife’s law degree and interim vacationing I’m also reading into the throwaway line, “I know you like to sleep early” as coming from her reaming him keeping her up when I’m sure she can sleep longer than he does given that he runs a retail store. In the bed he pays for. And I get that ultimately he blew up at her and got himself kicked out, but I feel like the real answer here was to assume direct control over his household before he got frustrated about being negged to death by the wife who doesn’t bring anything to the table, not even kids. However, the advice presented here seems to be, “no one in your life owes you anything no matter what you do for them, it’s your fault for complaining and coping with alcohol and you own nothing but you just need to reframe how you think about owning nothing.” I’m worried that I’m so mentally ill that this’ll come off as bait but genuine question
>>220823659>we dont need a movie about itI think the Backrooms movie did an alright job of presenting some original shit that isn't the same reused maps and assets that every content farm and wannabe Kane Pixels keeps reusing. I don't think this means we need a movie, but we do need people who are actually creative enough to do something other than the same shit we've seen everyone do to death over the last 5 years.A weird parallel dimension that "misremembers" places and things over and over until it becomes a warped labyrinth is more interesting than >Oh not I "noclipped" out of reality and now there's an fungus stick figure chasing me and I have to travel through all these "level" on this most upboated reddit posts and the most popular levels from other people's youtube videos!
>>220824308I think it's important to acknowledge that Clark was going to be a failure no matter what. He's a shitty architect (his drawings and designs look retarded) who runs a shitty furniture store (stuff is presumably overpriced, hence the "rip off" graffiti, and his furniture is cheaply made and easily broken) that has a confusing gimmick that he can't keep straight, and he gets drunk as often as he can. The "hard day" at the store he had was probably nothing. He just chose to get drunk (wasting more money he doesn't have) and then blamed his wife because she's going to law school instead of making money for him so he doesn't have to worry about the problems he's causing for himself as much. But even if she was making money, it wouldn't make him a better person.We also don't know shit about his wife. She might be a horrendous cunt or she might be amazing. The movie doesn't actually care to explore that because it doesn't matter, since all of Clark's problems are primarily self-inflicted. Even if his wife was more accommodating and helpful, he'd still be running a shitty, failing furniture store with no customers. He'd still be seething that he's not an architect. He'd still have that habit of hurting other people first and pushing them away so they can't hurt him first. The only thing he did right was seek therapy about it, but his biggest mistake was that he picked the shittiest therapist imaginable, who is somehow just as damaged and mentally unwell as he is, who has no actual advice or insight on how to unfuck him. She even convinces him that he should just stay mentally ill forever because she doesn't actually have any answers.
>>220818699The maze is the actual torture device, but the public only wants to hear about the minotaur trapped in it.
>>220818391>>220818699The Backrooms wiki sucks"Levels" suckThe entity list sucksRoblox sucksAll the baby lore that got made up and Kane jettesoned suckedKane's lore is that the Backrooms encompasses the Hall of Mirrors effect, where the last thing you saw gets overridden by the next thing. In the Backrooms, where no one should be, this doesn't happen, so you imprint on the Backrooms. No one gives a flying fuck about a gay ass bunch of levels and that shitty Roblox lore deserved to be ditched. It wasn't part of the original lore either, so why are you salty? I know you can't possibly be pissed about the original 4chan post being violated because it's a handful of sentences with no fucking lore to violate; just "DUDE, WHAT IF NOCLIP AND ROOMS N SHIEEET. MONSTER HAS SEEN YOU FIRST." Problem is Backrooms you faggots want to preserve the 'sanctity' of the original not getting the version you grew up with was never the original but a mocked bastardization. Levels are such a fucking gay ass concept they repel fans from the Backrooms. One of the levels is just the fucking moon. That's fucking stupid. There is a reason no one outside the now dying Backrooms wiki interpretation ever gave a fuck about any levels other than the original and the Poolrooms. It completely misunderstood the 4chan post. The only ones clinging to that are Roblox groomers, fact.And what the fuck is Exit 8? Did you mean the 26 year old book House of Leaves which is all about a nigga wandering a series of hallways confronting a maze that rearranges itself to fit his sense of adventure, guilt for watching some African kid die, and how he needs to commit to his hoe of a wife? That book that the Backrooms is constantly compared to? That book that came up with the concept in the fucking year 2000 and has been around horror circles forever or do you seriously think this idea came from a fucking 2025 movie and is only 1 year old?
>>220818292wasn't his youtube shorts about the backrooms being a separate dimension to explore?didn't notice any trauma shit
>>220818292>DUDE WHAT IF BACKROOMS BUT ITS ALL YOUR PAST TRAUMASo....as above so below?
>>220818292>The entity is a giant retarded looking version of the main guy. BECAUSE HE HAS PAST TRAUMA!!! GET IT???please tell me this isn't the monster
>>220824523Thanks for the thoughtful response anon, I didn’t feel like getting into it in my first post but I gathered that he wasn’t really “good” at anything, and assumed that the Clark we see now was once-great but had been worn down by his circumstances over the years. But like you said, we don’t see enough of their relationship so that’s a bad assumption for me to have. I also just assumed that the therapist was a voice of truth which was just me being retarded lmao - the movie did go to lengths to show how broken she was, herself.He sucks and it’s ultimately up to him to not suck, but I still think it’s unfair for him to get kicked out of the house he solely owns assuming the peak of his abuse was getting embarrassed and losing his temper over dropping that glass and waking his wife up that night
>>220824694>>220824716The movie is more or less about two extremely mentally ill people who find the backrooms. One of them tries really hard to project his problems and trauma onto it because this version of the place makes warped copies of remembered places and things. Like a fucked up echo of reality as perceived and remembered by humans. By the end, it's very clear that the backrooms is not a place for people to process their trauma. It's a fucked up, uncaring, nasty place that will eventually kill whoever ends up in there, no matter what they're going through. The only right way to interact with it is to get the fuck out and stay out. Trying to do therapy in the Backrooms will get people killed every time.
>>220818292hollywood doesn't have the balls for millennial kino
>>220823434House of Leaves invented traumaslop and Backrooms is a House of Leaves ripoff. HoL is more about Navy and Karen's collapsing marriage with Johnny intermittently hijacking the plot to talk about his mommy issues and getting the shit beat out of him by a marine then it is about supernatural hallways. Backrooms is a HoL ripoff. Ergo, you get shittier HoL.I'm surprised you fags are surprised by this. It's the logical direction to take the backrooms. Surely you didn't expect the gay ass lore for children about backroom levels and entities and having to carry particular drinks on you at specific times. No one likes that shit.
>>220823434everything written by millenials and zoomers is about traumadumping
>>220823553>new mummy movie is demonslopWorst news I've heard all day.
>>220824743I’m sorry
idk i always thought the horrifying part about the backrooms was that you could randomly noclip and fall out of reality into them at a moments notice and end up trapped until you die so all this shit about there being stable portals and evil government labs and shit just kinda ruins it for me
why is it just a reddit portal? the very most basic midwit idea of the backrooms is you find yourself there by a noclip bug in reality and can't escape, and A24 completely failed at that. it's not even inspired by the same idea, they just like the spooky office style liminal space I guess
>>220824745Yeah, I don't think he deserves his situation exactly. His wife might be just as much of a piece of shit as he is. She might not deserve the house or his financial support. We don't ever get the impression that Clark is violent or malicious. Like it's not implied that he beat his wife or that his temper ever makes him do worse than drink and yell. Still a shitty way for a husband to be.I think you're right that he doesn't deserve to have his life destroyed over one argument and a broken glass though. Maybe there was a far longer history of erratic behavior that we're not told about, but I guess that's because the movie isn't really about that. Like it's meant to be something about looking for answers and running away from your problems, but ultimately the backrooms stuff is almost entirely accidental and incidental. Maybe he wouldn't have felt like he needed to reenact that same fight over and over if his therapist wasn't an also insane retarded pill-popper? Maybe he wouldn't have strayed deeper into the backrooms if he didn't feel like he needed to relive the past.
>>220824808>>220824820It's implied that there aren't supposed to be stable portals, but that they are popping up seemingly at random all over the place. I don't think they ever make it clear where A-Sync's HQ is at or if the government is involved at all either. They only say that they are just as confused and desperately trying to figure it out. They found it by accident and now its connecting itself at random to other places.The stable doorway in the wall is more of a plot contrivance though. So Clark can find it, then come back with people, and then have someone else come after him when he disappears. If they established that the door eventually just fucking vanishes and that exit is gone forever, that would have been a tidier way to handle it.
Damn, is it actually just traumaslop? I was gonna go see it in IMAX today, but looking at the thread here, I might cancel.

>>220818292My biggest gripe: Not enough poolrooms. Imagine a scene where it's dark upon entry and the therapist accidentally falls into water. She gets pulled down further, and further, until she hits bottom, falls out the ceiling onto the cold, wet tile, and boom, it's another poolroom (well-lit), but the pool is on the ceiling. Poolrooms.
