>>220836660fuck off, you fucking retard
>>220836722Meanwhile the people who funded the movie, the crew and the actors are all boomers or millenials. Amazing

>>220836747This, they're the ones who started this slow burn elevated horror slop that's popular with millennials
Nope, not getting out of this chair.
>>220836733That's like saying boomer movies are actually Silent Generation movies because they were funded by ancient jews.
>>220836722Obviously it wouold make money, it's another trend a ton of zoomers will go watch. Just like FNAF and Minecraft
>>220836767Kubrick was a millenial?
>>220836660AAHHH I JUST FOUND A DOOKIE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FLOORA PAJEET IS HERE NOOOO
>>220836779If all the people funding them, making them and the actors are from that generation, everyone aside from the director. Then yes.
>>220836804The director is the one with "the vision" anon. Well, and the writer, although the weight of "writer's input" depends on what kind of movie it is.
>>220836660Ahhh
>>220836722Im a millennial and im rooting for the movie to succeed. Same with obsession and iron lung. Anything to kick hollywood in the shins over and over again until they got back to normal.

Should I invite my ex gf who I haven't talked to in 5 months to see this with me? She loves horror movies. I'm fucking a new girl but it's just like casual. I only dated that ex for 3 months but we met eat others parents and shit. I'm not gonna invite to it right away but I thinking of drinking 2 rum and Cokes with my friend tomorrow night and doing it. Last thing she said to me was to text her when I got home so she knew I was home safe. I never did because I was pissed she dumped me right after meeting my family, like she knew she was gonna end it but went along with meeting them anyway. I feel like I won't fully move on if I don't at least talk to her again. Plus I want to take someone to see this movie and my current girl doesn't like horror movies so I doubt she'll want to go.

>>220839276Yet equally retarded.>Hey here's a completely unthreatening, boring and empty environment. ARE YOU SCARED YET??????
>>220839356the backrooms themselves aren't supposed to be scary I think. they're more like the "liminal spaces" trend zoomers are into. it just happens to be the setting of a lot of horror videos and fanfics.
>>220838310It's all fun and games until you hear coyotes howling.
>>220838955Imagine typing all that, actual faggot lol
>>220836660In my 20s and early 30s I used to work in an office building overnights, it was in this massive old warehouse building, the most nonsense partitions were made to house certain sections that were keycarded off for lines of business that had different security handling requirements. It was empty, dimly lit if it all in certain areas and foreboding in its own way. Over the time I worked there, I suffered through worsening nightmares about this place, involving oceans of cubicles that had no proper way to enter them except to climb over it. Was actually unlucky enough to experience a partial coma for a few weeks near the end of when I worked there, where the entire time I was under, which felt like years in the coma but was again less than a month in reality, and I never left the building. Could not find an exit, but I was also the only person in there. The dream like version of it, not the real one obviously.Anyways, the whole point of this is I quit the job not long afterwards, and that shit stopped. Just like, quit if you're not happy. Don't keep doing a dead end job because your psyche is telling you this is what you have to do to survive. You can't buy back the years of your life you wasted with the money you got.
Backrooms is a perfect film.

>>220841578That's just covid. No wonder zoomers are afraid of it
>>220839375>the backrooms themselves aren't supposed to be scary I think.Yes they are. Presentation matters a lot, but it's also about using your own imagination. It's not a dark forest, it's not a dark cave, it's not a dark abandoned building, it's not a dark gothic castle and that's the point. It juxtaposes a familiar environment that we usually associate with being safe and comfortable with the danger of being lost and alone somewhere that you can't escape. The entire time you know something isn't right even though logic dictates it should be which creates this eerie dichotomy. Fa/tv/irgins seethe at this concept because they're retards who lack imagination. They're the ones who need there to be monster chases. It's not enough for them to think that maybe there COULD be something out there with them because they're utterly incapable of picturing even something as simple as an apple inside their empty heads.

>>220836660If you pissed in there, at least everything is already yellow. No one would know.
>>220836660This movie fucking sucked. The buildup in the first two acts was alright, although the irl stuff was kind of off. The found footage, which is what I paid for, is like 15 minutes tops, while the rest of it is just normal A24 garbage that pretends to be deeper than it actually is. The monster is also fucking stupid and not intimidating at all. The screaming mould creatures that are as fast as a human were fine and would actually force the character to not break their fucking leg on a sofa to keep the tension up, so I don't know why they've introduced these goofy mascot midget creatures.This should have been a feature-length found footage horror where a group of people are dropped through the floor of their film set, and they get picked off one by one while traversing rooms with their own memories if they had to go that route. All they had to do was copy As Above.
>>220836660>Someone posted the full movie to youtubehttps://youtu.be/5A31EvvxNyASurprised the upload hasn't been taken down but anyways. About the backrooms movie it was mid. Boring, "ambience" was very boring. It's just a story of people going schizo because of it, reaching a bad ending.
Is the movie actually any good?Everwhere online people are only talking about that it made money at the boxoffice and that it's directed by a guy in his 20s and everyone now acting like only genz should make movies.

>>220836660Some faggots are just mentally impaired. If they found an actual place like the Backrooms, they'd just go bumblefucking around in it not realising anything was amiss at all, because they can't make the obvious logical connections that:>This place doesn't make logical sense on any level, physics, architecture, economics, geometry, practicality, functionality, etc.>Some fag must have built it, is keeping the power on, maintaining it, for some undiscernible, possibly malevolent purpose. That person(s) may be watching you or be aware of your presence.>You're at least possibly trespassing somewhere you shouldn't be and can't be sure of the reaction.>There's no food, water, or other human needs immediately obvious, and there's no way to know which direction to even go to find something like that. The more you travel without coming upon anything like that, the more you have to wonder how long you can last without basic human needs, the more depleted your energy and reserves become. Meaning, if you're not sensitive to that kind of shit at all, and aren't thinking ahead that far, you're low-IQ, and have the retarded time preference of a non-white. There's no in-your-face immediate threat, so you don't sense any kind of problem.>Being alone means not being able to have help or be able to use cooperation physically and mentally with other humans, part of our species' true advantage over other animals/threats. We can communicate and coordinate. Alone we are depowered quite a bit.>Darkness, shadows, side corridors, crawl spaces, avenues of attack that put us at a sensory/physical disadvantage.>The real creepy part about the Backrooms is you only start realising this as you start going further into it, and it increasingly makes less and less sense. So a room not 'initially' being creepy/scary is totally underselling the whole thing.>Not to mention how you got there in the first place and what that might mean in terms of being able to get back out.
>>220842730The entirety of the backrooms are a forgotten memory. The way they describe it in the movie is just “It’s like if someone described a dog and asked you to draw it” but it’s more like everything that ever was or used to be misremembered. Every time it gets a bit fuzzier when you try to picture it, and every time you remember it exists in the backrooms. I think this place can create perfect representations of people but it’s too vast to find them.The monster of the backrooms is holding onto a memory that you’re actively forgetting.
>>220836660no cap my parents would leave me here to play for hours while they went to gamble when we went to the casinos
>>220841637I'd love to see these 'Backrooms aren't scary' faggots get lost in an IRL labyrinth or go cave diving or some shit like that. See how they go.There are real places on Earth where you can easily get lost and die before anyone finds you. But it's just an empty tunnel you guise!

My dad hates "supernatural" elements (though he is a fan of Prometheus) and he always tries to find a realistic reading of every movie we watch that's like thisBasically, both Clark and Mary are mentally ill and their overlapping interest is "furniture", Clark drugged n killed his film crew, then later his wife (the red headed woman) and lastly he tried to kill Mary. The pirate was actually his "evil" schizo side overtaking the part of him that was actually gonna free Mary and let her go. At the end you see it whimpering as it reaches out for her before dying. Mary just becomes like her mother, and remains catatonic foreverIt gets tiring to hear sometimes. Surprisingly though, he never did the Batman is a mental asylum patient read

>>220844234Black man with trauma finds the backrooms, starts enjoying living in there and goes crazy. His therapist comes to find him and he kidnaps her. Black man gets killed by giant pirate entity (who is also him or something idk). Therapist runs for her life and manages to fight it off. She gets found by hazmat suit guys and they have a conversation about what the backrooms are. Final shot shows therapists memories are now also part of the backrooms, including a warped version of herself.
>>220843737I'm very pleasant to be around actually
>>220844406>a warped version of herself.oh so it's like curb your enthusiasm
>>220844234Black guy loser got kicked out of his own house by his wife and owns a failing furniture business. One day he sees a fucking texture misaligned on the basement and goes through the wall into the backrooms. Enjoys his time in there because there's no people and he gets the control he lacks in his real life before his therapist goes to find him. He's completely mad. Gets killed by himself (because everything in the backrooms is a distorted copy of something in the real world, they describe it as a fuzzy memory) and the therapist scapes until the feds get her out. It is left ambiguous if the feds killed her and the movie ends with her backroom reflection alone with her face all fucked up. Its a solid movie I give it a 6 this guy directed it at 18 I wanna see what he does in the future
>>220844494I think she basically became catatonic and stayed frozen in that same position. She ended up like her mother, at some asylum locked in a room probably
>>220838955you should invite your mom to go see it with you
>>220840536>26 and acts/thinks like thisit's so over for you kek
Do the backrooms copy from the area around them, or do they copy from the memories of people who enter them?
>>220839415Why am I a faggot?>>220844526My mom doesn't watch horror movies.
>>220844406>who is also him or something>memories are now also part of the backroomThey ran out of material fast thenNeither of those things are in the backrooms, but then how you make something longer than 5 minutes, or even scary, about the backrooms is a tortuous task
>>220840882>mid white woman is the real protagonist like in every other movie for the last ten yearsmore like 80 years, horror protags are almost always women

The first half was good, but they tried way to hard to be like Barbarian and the movie suffered a lot for it. Black guy went insane out of nowhere, the monsters went from being a really cool SCP style thing, to being extremely lame. The entire premise of the backrooms being explained as a memory of a memory of the real world is just really uninteresting compared to what it could have been. They should have just left it unexplained if they didn't know what to do with it.But even with that premise, they didn't do anything interesting with it. If it's based on warped memories, they could have included anything that anyone has ever experienced, but warped and distorted by emotions. For example, some kid gets attacked by a dog and almost dies, then the backrooms gets a beast like gigantic dog monster. Or, someone has a nightmare about a monster, then the monster shows up in the backrooms. They could have done anything with this idea, but they just made weird looking people zombie things.The odd geography of the backrooms was done really well, but again they sort of didn't go all the way with it since they shifted the movie away from being about exploration and focused on the paychological issues of black man. He was literally an architect, so it's like he was primed to have all the skills needed to expertly explore the backrooms, but they never delve into that idea.It was fun, but I think they really dropped the ball with the third act. I hope they make a sequel and do things right with completely new characters.
>>220840814Yes
>>220842924An extremely obscure Austrian psychological horror film called Hotel (2004) might be the most liminal horror film ever made: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PguNjy7qcAE
>>220845305>that video title>that thumbnail>"the most liminal horror"I can already tell it's some faggot with his faggy zoomer voice talking about some movie I don't give a shit about
BRUH THERE AIN'T NO CHAT IN THE BACKROOMSNO SUBS NO DONATIONS
>>220845343He actually provides a pretty good explanation for the appeal of this type of horror. He acknowledges that it's a divisive film that many people will find boring because he did at first too until he really thought about it and got what it was trying to do.
'OFFICE' suggests associated employmentzoomers hate the idea of actual employment
I watched this last night, had no idea it was literally the first day it was airing lmao. We just randomly chose a movie to go watch. I remember seeing /tv/ seethe about it for months already.
>>220845368lmfao so it is some faggot with his faggy zoomer voice talking>the appeal of this type of horrorThe appeal is that retards born after the PS3 came out thought empty CSS and Gmod maps were heckin scary
>>220845258The character going insane should have led to a 2 hour heart of darkness type adventure with the therapist going after him. The further she follows him into the backrooms the crazier shit gets until she finally arrives and he's already been killed in some gruesome manner by unknown forces. Not sure how to end the movie. Maybe a showdown with a monster but that feels anticlimactic for some reason.
>>220836660Whatever, the concept of endless liminal spaces (and liminality in general) is still cool even though I'm not very familiar specifically with the lore of the Backrooms because I still think the concept of the Backrooms is cool. I love the idea of a distorted and malignant version of our reality that just monotonously extends forever. But I'd prefer the Backrooms to not have any monsters in them, because the primary source of psychological turmoil of the Backrooms should be the Backrooms themselves.
>>220838955I watched it with a chick. She said ”the movie was so weird” but i think she liked it.
>>220836733Correct.
>>220845416Meant to write randomly chose a movie to watch with a black chick i’m seeing.
>>220845480There needs to be a threat or else there is no suspense. If you can't have monsters then the environment itself has to be hazardous, but then the movie turns into Cube or Saw. I think monsters are better but we shouldn't be able to understand them. Still lifes are really unsettling
>>220837022
>>220840882>whiteHer name is Kline and she's a therapist = she is jewish
>>220845558Okay, fair enough, you can have monsters inhabiting the Backrooms. But the main source of dread of the Backrooms should come from the setting itself.
>>220845558The suspense comes from not knowing whether or not you're alone. Actually confirming or showing there's a monster in there with you lowers the suspense. It's supposed to be psychological, not visceral.
but why do the backrooms look like an empty office building
>>220845757Agreed. I really enjoyed the backrooms exploration parts of the movie. I think it has a different vibe compared to your typical haunted house in a horror movie. Usually you want the main character to get out of dodge and NOT TO OPEN THAT DOOR. But with backrooms I found it mysterious enough to get excited the further they went into it. Unfortunately the ending was incredibly anticlimatic with a boss battle with some weird creature in a furniture store set that didn't really look like any of the other backroom sets. I also think the movie could have benefitted from longer cut scenes where the character navigates the maze and you, as the viewer, start to feel the disorientation just as much as the character. Maybe a 10 minute continuous scene following from behind in third person through a dozen or so rooms. Then the character wants to go back but it's impossible for them to figure out where they came from.
>>220845914Because it all came from a random image some anon used and youtubers are incapable of actually coming up with original versions of it.
>>220845884You're saying "there should be no monster/entity" and then saying the suspense comes from the possibility of another creature. That only plays for so long imo. There has to be hints of something out there or else you're just baiting people and most will get bored and say "nothing happened" the movie halfway through.
>>220845558the 'monster' always has to be the proverbial black dog that is the subject enveloping on itself backrooms is an autist's equivalence of that without a need for a retarded giant monster like normies who use slasher horror type shit cause they're too low-iq to think that cerebral
>>220845949Giant retard monster is definitely bad, but declaring there can't be evidence or scenes of any kind with a foreign entity in them is basically a death knell for most audiences.
>>220836771spoiler kinda lmao>>220843367the movie is set in June 1990, ya dumbfuck
>>220842513An honest to God camcorder bootleg in the year of our Lord, 2026. But I have to admit, the bootleg quality recording kinda fits with the backrooms vibe.

>>220845946It worked perfectly fine for The Blair Witch Project and it became one of the most successful films in history. I thought Blair Witch Project was excellent and scary despite "nothing happening", you probably thought it was boring because you expected it to show you the witch. The 2016 reboot was made specifically for people like you.
>>220845920Easy on the spoilers. I'm seeing the film this Tuesday.

>>220847452Wait so someone else couldn't just make a backrooms movie now?
very obvious Kane is one trick pony that will not be able to substantively expand on this concept - although he will obviously be given another swing or two in full support by the likes of A24 and such with the immediate revenue/financial success it has already achieved before even end of opening weekend. Very interesting to see it all playout seeing as it unironically isnt even his "idea" but an expanded upon narrative from a 4chan post, and at the base of it all these liminal spaces seem inherently limited in creative scop. Walking the line between how to make it this "cool" "nu-horror" without just making it... general horror and not just unsettling dreamscapes.Suspect the better thing out of all this will be more experienced, talented creative minds giving a shot at this concept. Maybe the wont though, sounds like while initial reception pre-release was rather positive, as people are existing theaters today they are quite confused and generally unhappy with what they paid to watch.
>>220847452This was always going to happen
>>220847476weird, everything I've seen has been positive
>>220846154I think it's a gimmick. Works a couple times but audiences see something once and then everything is just a boring copy. I don't think anyone is immune to that feeling. Also there have been plenty of movies like Blair Witch that tanked since because novelty is part of the success formula for horror movies.
>>220836722thats like 30 million in millenial shekels
empty spaces are mad spooky bro.
>>220836722I swear the only thing people talk about with this and obsession is the boxoffice money, the fact that they are made by youtubers and some console war tier generation nonsense. Nobody actually talks about the movies.
>>220847212It's a deliberate psyop to attempt to absolve them of blame, because they're responsible for some things that Boomers and Millennials get blamed for
of course a black guy is scared of a workplace that you can't escape
>>220848709Why of course?
>>220847280But she's not physically present which proves that there can still be suspense without monster chases unlike the 2016 reboot which was my point.>>220847500>I think it's a gimmick.Psychological horror is not a gimmick anymore than psychological thriller or psychological drama is. It either works for you or it doesn't, no need to pretend that somehow makes you sophisticated and above it all.>Works a couple times but audiences see something once and then everything is just a boring copy. That's what happens with any kind of trend chasing because people with money have a tendency to run things into the ground chasing a successful formula they think will make them easy money, this is not unique to horror. See also: Westerns, capeshit etc.> Also there have been plenty of movies like Blair Witch that tankedOh yeah? I'm sure you can provide some examples then. Paranormal Activity was successful so that's already out.>novelty is part of the success formula for horror movies.If that were really true then the 80s wouldn't have been littered with slashers that were all successful despite increasingly diminishing returns. You don't have a clue what you're talking about.
Just got back from the cinema and I quite liked it. I went in with the expectation that it would lean neither into the A-Sync plotline nor too much into the found footage style, but I'm fine with that because why do the exact same thing in a feature film as in the YT series?I sure fucking hope he picks the youtube videos back up though.
>>220836767The Babadook was IFC though
AAAAAHH IT’S JUST LIKE WHEN YOU NOCLIP THROUGH THE WALL AND RUN AROUND IN GLITCHED SPACE IN VIDEO GAMES AND THEN DREAM ABOUT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>220847476Like it or not, this has essentially created a whole new genre of film now that Hollywood has their proof of ROI on the "liminal space" meme. Expect tons of "Backroomslike" copycats in the coming years with plots centered around escaping labyrinthine office buildings, with varying degrees of artistic merit. All that matters is getting people into the theater
>4chan post>have no control over being noclipped into an inescapable nightmare>reddit portal>you can... simply choose to go in or not and come back freelyIt's great you want to make a horror movie and all that, but calling it the Backrooms and then completely missing the point is a pretty reddit thing to do.

>mfw the shirt room scene>mfw the christmas tree scene>mfw that last shotI loved that movie, fantastic, better than I was expecting. Was very happy to see clean shots of the Still Life too.. I was also quite shocked how far they went in some places. I wasn't expecting lot of that. I got lucky and had a quiet, respectful theater, so that made it even better.And of course /tv/ is generally upset at the movie, of course. This place will be seething about it for months to come. The amount of confusion surrounding the movie is astounding. I still see people thinking this is movie somehow appeared over night based on the 4chan post or general youtube videos about backrooms with zero knowledge about the Kane Pixel series this is apart of. Maybe the promotional material should have been better at clarifying that, but at least the reviewers I've seen online accept ignorance around it. Still seeing posters here victimizing 4chan like something was stolen from us.>>220848851>I sure fucking hope he picks the youtube videos back up though.Same, want to see more videos.
> Was very happy to see clean shots of the Still Life tooMade me want to live a comfy backrooms life with my human abomination family...
>>220849375>And of course /tv/ is generally upset at the moviethey are upset at everything these days. They think there's something cool, noble or "based" about being performatively miserable. Enjoying things is for normie cattle
>>220847177Not until you realise it's part of the Odesa Catacombs that are very real and are 1600 miles of only partially mapped natural caves and carved mining tunnels that a person actually could get lost in, and once your flashlight runs out you'll be navigating it in pitch black darkness.
>>220845920Yeah, not getting lost in the infinity Backrooms or driven forward until you can't find your way back or get cut off from going back, just kinda misses the point and isn't the Backrooms to me. Why I never liked the fags in the yellow suits much. Though that's a more sensible way to approach things if you're going to explore them - very cautiously.To be fair the loopback in the film was probably the best way to have that cake and eat it too, but in that case why not go on for at least a bit longer and have something more significant happen? Like show some really impossibly vast area that exposes the bizarre geometry and impossibly infinite nature of the Backrooms, so dude realises exactly how fucked he is.Faggot being an architect didn't even play into it in any explicit way, like him realising that shit can't even exist. eg. A wide ceiling or stairway couldn't support its own weight based on the thickness, span, and standard materials it's apparently made of. The average fag might not realise that kind of thing is weird until it got too extreme not to notice, but an architect would spot it immediately and not even want to walk on something that shouldn't be able to take his weight, etc.
>>220836660I liked the Backrooms concept since day one. There's been good shit about it since, and lame shit since.This movie is sub-par and way below expectations, and I'm tired of pretending it's not.
I’m going to be honest as a Zoomie, I have no idea why people find the backrooms, liminal spaces, poolrooms etc scary. It’s not scary. Seems like a paradise to walk around in without anyone else there. My generation has no social skills, why would a space without people suddenly be scary?
>>220836771you can put eustace in literally any crazy place and post his quote and I will laugh every time
>>220845920>I also think the movie could have benefitted from longer cut scenes where the character navigates the maze and you, as the viewer, start to feel the disorientation just as much as the character. Maybe a 10 minute continuous scene following from behind in third person through a dozen or so rooms. Then the character wants to go back but it's impossible for them to figure out where they came from.You know, I was thinking the movie was missing something, and I think that was it. If they had the scene with Clark first exploring last a bit longer, with him getting too comfortable exploring, then realizing he almost got lost. That would have been nice, because later he says there is this room and that room, but you never see him actually explore it or map it out.Then you see him come back later to the camera room and check on that camera room out of curiosity. Then when his guard down is when the monster shows up and the scene continues as normal with him discovering the small door.
>>220850147>why would a space without people suddenly be scary?Omg can you imagine not having people to impress????
What’s Obsession about exactly? I didn’t even know a Backrooms movie was coming till this week.
/tv/ is the only place where i even see people actually talk about Backrooms and Obsession as an actual movie and not just about hte box office and the genz youtubers.Everywhere else people act like they are amazing because they made money and genz
>>220850180>but you never see him actually explore it or map it out.Movie is called backroomsWe dont even see main character mapping backroomsDropped
>>220847467>place people are supposed to useIt's not, though. What the fuck are you talking about?
>>220850195Now that you know, are you going to see it?
>>220850195Guy is in love with a girl, but she doesn't like him. He makes a wish on a gimmicky toy for her to love him and she suddenly does, but become a yandere and is so obsessed with him, but occasionally gets glimmers of her real personality that shows she's not in control of herself. Only way for the wish to be undone is one of them has to die.
>>220840426I know it's the original post but thst last paragraph ruins the rest of the concept and how others describe it imo. I thought the whole point was endless nothingness was the horror, not "le boogeyman will jump out and scare you.">>220840814It's the Royal We.
>>220850195Monkey paw wish that turns girl into obsessed yandere. Get ready for more anime tropes to now be turned into movies because now all those things are suddenly cool and trendy.
>>220850147What are you going to eat dipshit? Have fun waltzing around in your little paradise until you run out of energy walking infinity rooms climbing stairs, and running away in panic from weird sounds and actual entities.It's like saying you would enjoy being alone in a dingy in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, or the middle of the Sahara Desert. You sound like a fucking clueless dipshit.
>>220850147I find it comfortable too. I'd love to walk around there endlessly, assuming no threat of a creature or unintentional tripping/falling hazards. The problem is you need to leave eventually, so you need to bring food and water with you. Also it would be very easy to get lost in there, even if you left marks of some sort. And its full of mold, so you might get that in your lungs. Otherwise, I'd love to explore and see the weird architecture.
>>220850311I don't think the original anon ever intended for it to be that deep, and certainly didn't intend for it to turn into endless wacky levels and silly entities. But look at it this way: You've fallen outside of reality into a glitched, incoherent location that you cannot escape from. What kind of thing could possibly live there or even survive there? It's already a place that's impossible to live in. It's a place that you will die in. Why the fuck is there something in there at all?
>>220848899I never did that thoughbeit
This was the original premise you dumb frognigger.
sounds gay
>>220845884this if there are monsters it should be the last act when every horror movies goes to shit anyways
>>220845941Kane literally made an empty mall version of it aswell which is quite different albeit a little ridiculous with its puppet monster
Ive had nightmares about being lost in empty malls, cruiser ships and other indoor places since I was a little kid back in the 90s, so I don't think this is a new thing at all
>>220842513>https://youtu.be/5A31EvvxNyAits gone bummer
>>220848709based heeheehaha
>>220849375i'd love to go see it but my newborn is 6 months old and I don't let anyone but the wife watch her
>>220850375everyone who says it sounds comfy ignores this shit, even if you had food it wouldn't be comfy
>>220850180It feels like the movie happens in only a dozen or so rooms where he's never lost, and I didn't think they were the greatest design either. Nor did they really exemplify the Backrooms the way they really should IMHO. More like Kane's own little 'le quirky' and specific gay take that strays more and more off the original concept the longer he overthinks it or something, until you're not one-way no-clipping in a pirate-themed furniture store and reporting back to your dumb bitch therapist for reasons - that aren't even that entertaining. It loses a lot of the original charm just like those Zoomie encyclopedias of their own dreamed up fan-fiction tard levels that aren't very clever at all.That's why this movie is disappointing regardless of whether you liked it overall or not. I think everyone has some kind of sense of the core shit that is the REAL Backrooms™, and though their mileage may vary, they know when it has been way overextended to the point of not being the Backrooms anymore.A movie had to get specific to some degree, probably have multiple characters, (at least so they could die in horrific ways), but this got too weirdly specific. Notice camera guy dying and his bitch getting lost was actually the best part, and more along the lines of what you were expecting. The whole thing could have fit better into a more standard horror narrative, where faggot finds the Backrooms, drags more people in, they die one by one while totally lost in the Backrooms, (because one of them kicks the useless fucking map into the creek or whatever), leaving only one of two left by the end. Would have been fine and better for being more generalised. No reason you couldn't add some kind of actual good characters and themes, and even SCPfags watching and showing up in a scene at the end.Sorry, but fail.
>>220843475ME HEARTIES THERES A NIGGA IN THE STORE
>>220849464this. and 4chan in general has this problem, not just /tv/. it's cooler and safer to be a snarky, impossible to please critic than to say that you actually like something, other than some obscure art film that's too abstract for anyone to really criticize it. we need more people on this site to have the balls to say they loved something even when other anons are shitting on it.
>>220850949doesn't stop me from liking and sharing things I like (i also hate plenty dgmw) I find in the modern day sincerity is in low supply and thusly I take that path and enjoy everyone who does aswell
>>220850607>>220850147Liminal office spaces caused dread due to an unsettling indescribable feeling of being left behind literally, figuratively, and generationally. It was comparable to being left behind by your parents by as a semi adult on a much more complex abstract psycho-social level. The oppressive anonymity of who designed and built such spaces being that of people who would rather not be named, would not be remembered, as if there was no paper trail or history of who worked or visited the spaces before you, and thus there might not be any record of you either, that you were already a dead broom in a broom closet on every floor and no floor, that you could crawl under a desk and years could pass and nobody maybe one person would walk past or be heard in a parallel hall, everything human muffled everything electric humming, you existing not existing like a stupid hamster
>>220847452as long as they don't start taking down youtube videos I don't care
>>220838310>work in industrial setting>walk around on night shift>nothing but huge rooms full of machinery humming awayits pretty comfy ngl
See Poltergeist III if you liked it
>>220850798They are the equivalent of women who 'choose the bear' because they've never actually seen a wild animal, never been in a environment where they're not on top of the food chain, and think they'd know what to do in a survival situation, but actually don't have a fucking clue. They actually believe on some level they could talk to the bear, or just somehow 'strong woman' their way out of a fucked situation, but they're obviously retarded.A situation like this should amplify your base animal instincts like anything in the jungle that has to work overtime just to not get eaten. These fags are either delusional or really don't have them, and I don't know which makes them more retarded.This never fails to make me laugh:https://www.youtube.com/shorts/-ua1VxMXKqEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JUr6LRqWYk>kek at dumb whore standing there giving advice to men who rush to actually try to physically deal with the situation, and how she becomes pro-gun all of a sudden, but then in her Einsteinian brilliance falls back to 'tranquilizer gun'.Dumb bitch says she climbed over guard rail to get closer to bear to take a photo and it grabbed her through the bars, but we all know she's lying, thought 'Binky' the polar bear was cute, and she actually tried to pet him or some shit because she's a dumb bitch lacking the exact instinct I described.
>>220836660https://youtu.be/reCo_zcWF4Q?si=Y4EBqawzuuCNAg_K!!!FACT!!!
>>220851222Backrooms, Iron Lung and Obsession shows that you don't need to spend tens of millions to entertain people and why Horror is the best genre.What's sad is that instead of financing low budget genre movies like those, streaming channels (Netflix, Amazon etc....) would rather spend hundreds of millions on vanity projects and outright trash i.e. Killers of the Flower Moon/Rebel Moon, both of which cost 200 million to make each when they could have given 20 filmmakers 10 mill each, or even 40 with 5 mill each and have a steady stream of new content to keep people subbed.Anywho, I'm soo happy to see good Horror movies succeed while there are still thousands of great novels/novellas/short stories that would make for awesome movies/shows if done properly!!!FACT!!!
>>220836660PLEASE SPARE ME CHAIRSI AM A FAMILY MAN
>>220847452So Jared Kushner takes Palestine as his little brother at A24 takes Backrooms pottery
>>220847782Am I the only one who used to find this shit really comfy. I remember back in the 90s, my father and my older brother used to play tennis in this gigantic hall that had at least two dozen courts, all side by side. Behind the courts, there was a giant tarp that made a long hallway, and behind there, you had various doors leading into "backrooms".I specifically remember loving that place and its atmosphere, and playing in the hallway. Even back then I remember feeling it was strange for me to like it, but for some reason it was fucking magical.
>>220851248Are we going to talk about the elephant in the Backrooms? One of the first things he does is steal something from the Backrooms.>running away from an entity>runs out the door>suddenly realises his skin colour>runs back in to grab something, anything>before leaving again>because not doing it just wouldn't feel right I guessWhat did Kane mean by this?
>>220851343i would have taken the golden chair with me instead
>>220851330I also find it extremely comfy in the same way that vaporwave is comfy. I love videos of people exploring dead shopping malls that are frozen in time. Do those still count as “liminal?”
>>220836722>ZoomGODS wonYeah a free trip to a desert shithole lmao
>>220850311>I thought the whole point was endless nothingness was the horror, not "le boogeyman will jump out and scare you."Zoomoids have no imagination so everything has to involve a Slenderman ripoff.
>>220851398No clue. I found a picture of the place. The tarp is still there, 30 years later. You can see it in the back.I can't find a shot of the actual hallway itself, but you get the idea.Maybe it was a combination of the echoing sounds, being alone in the strange hall, yet hearing that there was life behind the wall (the tarp), from the people playing tennis. I mean, I was a little kid at the time, and you have a much greater imagination when you're a kid.
>>220851241agreedthere are so many 4chan shitposts Kane could easily steal
>>220851343it didn't ever really explain that but I figured he wanted proof that it wasn't a dream
>>220844110>I guess it'd be pretty cheap to film the inside of an IKEAQuick get me Grady Hendrix's book Horrorstor
>>220851241There was a good movie buried somewhere in Killers of the Flower Moon, but Marty needs a fucking editor.
>>220851398Another thing I used to love as a kid was airports. It was both the giant halls themselves, but also people arriving and leaving, and of course the awe-inspiring, yet dreadful planes taking off and landing. Again, this is from the point of view of a child.Man, I miss being a kid and everything just being magical.
>>220836660I don't hate liminal spaces, they're fine as setups for a video game since it's just mindless exploration through what looks like unused gmod assets. Conceptually it's a downgrade from ARG stuff like This House has People in It, Unedited Footage of a Bear, Kraina Grzybów, Mandela Catalogue, etc. The ARG stuff had a layered story, even when Kane Parsons tried to add this background ARG narrative to the Backrooms it was half-baked and never stopped being a 4chan shitpost. The only way to make it work was to do found footage, but like after 15+ years of ARG found footage stuff evolving into having actual narratives it's definitely a step back to like Slenderman antics.
>>220851486No, it's genetic. Once you understand that, you'll be better off, and that's what is being portrayed here.It's a wonder KKKane didn't put bikes in there.
>>220851581you can still feel that way as an adult when you realize that you yourself and humanity in general barely knows anything about the world and universeI think what makes us lose our sense of wonder isn't that we know everything, but the fact that we arrogantly believe that we know everything. and we start to walk though life in a completely familiar routine, never experiencing anything new
SCP 3008 is this idea but better in every waymost people don't even know the 4chan post was just a ripoff that
>>220836660I think the backrooms are actually kinda comfy. Is that because I have autism or because I'm a Millennial and not a zoomer who grew up with constant entertainment and brain stimulation with their parents shoving an iPad in their hands when they were toddlers?
>>220851602>implying mandela catalogue was any good
>>220851628Remember the theme of the film and it being about how it was just the way he's wired?Really makes you think.
>>220836722lol, it's literally a millennial thing. You niggers don't even go to shopping malls.
>>220851565>There was a good movie buried somewhere in Killers of the Flower Moon, but Marty needs a fucking editor.Problem is that originally Di Caprio was supposed to play the FBI agent investigating the murders but he decided that he wanted to play the love interest of the lead female which caused them to re-write it that way while I ABSOLUTELY CAN FUCKING STAND THAT FUCKING RETARDED FROWN HE'S SPORTING THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE FUCKING MOVIE AND MAKES HIM LOOK LIKE A CROSS BETWEEN GRUMPY CAT AND THAT RETARDED FAGGOT FROM SLING BLADE!!!FACT!!!
>>220837007You're getting Loomloomed instead, boy. You will be sent to die for Israel thanks in part to that woman in the saw mask sucking off Trump and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it. The le scary liminal space pool that is the zoomoid genepool will get its much needed hypochloride
>>220851691It wasn't, but I'd take it over a blanket SCP plot+Slenderman. It really was only the found footage plot that made the film work, I liked it but not even snobs like A24 could add depth to it. Maybe ARGs became too pretentious with time, like they actually expected people to pull off Cicada 3031 shit just to understand the plot. I can probably dredge up examples of this, it's a valid criticism, but despite all the chiding people do to A24 they were the only thing that saved this film.
>>220851635Nah. Sure, the idea that we feel like we know everything, even if we don't, is part of it. But what we do come to know as adults are the limits of what is possible, and that the world out there isn't as boundless and full of mystery as we thought when we were ignorant children.Don't get me wrong, I'm not a nihilistic fuck who believes there's nothing worth exploring or living for (I'm a hiker, for fuck's sake), but it's more that when you're a kid, you don't know what's beyond the horizon, or even the hill in the distance.I still love exploring, but I also know the limits of what I might discover.

>>220836660I'm going to be needing the music played during the credits, that shit banged.
>>220851330>>220851656they have an abstract art appeal, and are sort of dream-like. there was this trend of "dream pools" as part of the liminal spaces trend, which sort of got inducted into the backrooms as "the poolrooms" (floor 37).I actually used to have dreams similar to this when I was a kid. completely white building with an abstract art architecture to it with strange pools of varying dimensions all over.I think this kind of thing is also appealing if you're very introverted like I am. there's an appeal to me of hanging out in a place where no one goes and no one would ever think to look for me.
>>220852053Maybe. I fucking despise contemporary art, and while I think the vast majority of it is absolute fucking dogshit with no thought put into it, I think some of it might be chasing what you're talking about and the experience I remember from my childhood.They still fail at capturing it, but I think that's what some of the "artists" might be going for.
Nothing in film, tv, lierature, muaic, art, theatre, poetry, fashion, philosophy or politics is any good. They onlyt know how to run and break stuff not make anything.They look like the most talentless half assed losers compared to boomers or genx. Reality.milennials=genshit
>>220852095no for sure, like any experimental genre it's bloated by talentless people who make it because they lack the skill for anything else. but that isn't necessarily what defines it, there is some really cool stuff if you look for it.
>>220851740Sounds like a first world problem, but hey, have fun on the frontlines. MIGA am I right?
>>220852053I'm this guy replying again: >>220852095Anyway, have you ever looked up Ricardo Bofill? He's a post-modern architect, and while I generally despise post-modernism, whether it's art, architecture or philosophy, I think he's the only one who actually captured some kind of soul in his architecture. Not everything he made is great, but most of it is fascinating, interesting and even soulful.Obviously I can't sum up his architecture by posting a picture, especially because of how ridiculously diverse his projects were, so I suggest you just do a google image search. A lot of his works certainly embody the meme shit the backroom zoomers sperg out about, but in a way that's worth looking into.
>>220851330>Am I the only one who used to find this shit really comfy.Anybody who is a millennial would.
>>220852292I doubt it. And I'm borderline Gen X.
>>220852307Anybody who is pre-gen z would.Is that better? The main prerequisite would have to have been consciously alive before shopping malls started dying.
>>220852053You would think the logical conclusion of Backrooms would be a reduction to MC Esther or at least an attempt to break the conventions of geometry. The original concept was like you clip into a realm where all of the world's unused assets are stored like it's a video game. It's not a complex or dreamlike plot in essence, technically not even liminal, the liminal characteristic is more of a dreamcore addition to the genre that happened much later. Backrooms in itself is more primitive.
yup
>>220852233some of these are really cool. if all modern cities were designed like this they would have sovl.
>>220852361I meant more in the sense that most people from my generation probably wouldn't find it comfy. And I certainly don't have that idea from malls, given that I didn't grow up with malls, nor do I associate it with malls.If anything, there are more malls, or shopping centers, around now than when I was a kid, and I don't get that feeling from them.
>>220852445Yeah, it's strange. He's the only guy who got post-modernism and deconstruction right. Even the ugly shit he made is at least interesting to look at.
>>220852445>looks like the city planning for ChongqingChina is so based if they were inspired by this.
>>220852375Bofill already did it in real life.
>>220852375
>>220851965It was good. I recognized part of a track at the very end of the credits. He uploads his music to his other channel so it may be there:https://www.youtube.com/@notkanepixels1407/videos
>>220852487I have dying shopping centres right next to me and I live in a major city. I enjoy going there in a melancholy way. They're going to knock it down, but apparently the gentrifications plans have hit a snag, which both good and bad.
>>220852792Well, sometimes it's about where you live. I'm Norwegian, and while we have malls, they didn't exist in the same way as they did in the US. We call them shopping centers, and they actually thrive, because you either have them in the center of a city, or they're built as a kind of hub or heart in a suburb, assuming it's far enough from the city to warrant it (meaning about 10 to 15 minutes by car).It's difficult to explain the differences, because as a Norwegian I know more about the US than you would know about Norway, for obvious reasons.
