I like it. I dislike that zoom zooms are pretending they invented the idea of liminal spaces, especially ones they have zero experiences of.

Why would it need a sequel? The entire concept of the film is LITERALLY a feeling, the fuck are they going to make the sequels about?

Eventually the director will move on to other things and this franchise will become a yearly horror franchise that gets worse and worse with the shit added to it ending with Backrooms in Space
>>

>>
>>220851164
>we've seen the backrooms, now we need the pool rooms

What is it that scares zoomers about "liminal spaces"? As a millennial child it's just an idea of infinite permutations of spaces, but somehow that scares zoomers? Do they even go to shopping centres or the local pool?

Like would the sight of a toilet bowl with water slightly-lower-than-normal scare the shit out of zoomers?
>>
>>220851045
I agree when I first saw the youtube vids he made just with his fucking computer and how much they looked almost made with real people/places I thought this kid is ahead of the curve and just set the ground for how to become a director with no nepo backing, I had friends in HS who directed short films, they're 30 now and they definitely got too caught up in adulting to keep it up, being a real director requires so much with locations and getting actors, the writing part is easy but getting places to let you film and everything else is expensive
>>
>>220850194
Wow, will Hollywood finally figure out they don’t need to spend $100+ million on every movie these days? I doubt it, there’s some sort of scam with directors and producers colluding to shit out slop that costs $300+ million dollars, and then the studio loses $150 million on the films and continue to blame the audience they haven’t understood in years

I've actually been to a "back room" once. A new brewery didn't have their bathroom set up so they directed me to an abandoned office next to them and it looked like the backroom meme. It was scary as shit but not because it was empty but because crack heads lived there

I absolutely think so, even if Doomsday succeeds its not like thats going to mean they're going to put capeshit back into gear if anything it might mean they'll go back to using actors and characters people actually care about

It's a very easy setup to isolate a protagonist or group.
In an age where smart phones and wifi exist it's become increasingly difficult to do that. The familiarity of a place means that shouldn't happen but then it does anyway.

It's a very easy setup to basically tell any kind of story actually. You could feasibly write anything using a "liminal space" actually and a lot of weird ideas have been done with it already.

I think 2026 might be the first full year without a single billion dollar release all year.
If the Mario movie couldn't break 1 billion the only thing on the release schedule that probably can is Spider-Man. If that doesn't cross 1 billion I'm calling it for 2026. This summer is going to be rough. The economy is bad, job market is bad, prices are going up, and the movies aren't good enough.

>You could feasibly write anything using a "liminal space" actually and a lot of weird ideas have been done with it already.
I think there's a lot of forgotten light sci-fi with this concept. There's an australian's kids show from the 90s that has an element of this but for the life of me I can't remember shit about it. And I'm pretty sure it has a shopping mall at the centre of it.
>>
>>220851267
NTA,
Not a zoomer, myself. I'm a grown ass man that enjoys the backrooms and some liminal space content.
I have autism and agoraphobia. And there's this sort of profound truth to be milked from liminal spaces. Settings that are familiar and yet incomplete or detached from the expected order in a way. Because my life is one big liminal space. I don't adapt as thoroughly to the inevitable progressive changes of the environments that are familiar to me as I would if my brain wasn't fucked up. And it really just does feel like there's this entropic spiral of increasing disorder in the world around me.
Not everybody who does liminal space content "gets it". And there's probably reasons other people might enjoy it so the content that doesn't "get it" isn't necessarily bad. But Parsons knows how to milk that vibe. At least with his Backrooms stuff. I found "The Oldest View" was aimed more at the "lol spoopy hallways" crowd and didn't directly mine at the metapsychology of liminal spaces.
But the Backrooms movie hit that vibe too.
And Clark is a character I identify with, being a divorcee, myself who maybe afforded himself a little too much time to wallow after the fact.
>>
>>220851467
The idea of a maker fucking up and making a dev room like asset store area is cool in theory but if it's just like the fucked up manifestation of someone mind then that is really boring
>>
>>220851483
Liminal spaces were in Persona 3/4/5 and those have really weird stories too. Same with House of Leaves.
The concept has been around for a long time. Persona 4 is a detective murder mystery where the liminal space is literally the murder weapon and 5 is a political thriller.
>>
>>220851492
>Going way too deep into what is really a short-form/internet form "horror" concept

I enjoyed the movie more as a sort of mood piece with *some* psychological elements, that stupid SCP shit really takes away from it.

If they REALLY wanted to say something, they could've said something about the failing economy and dying city/town centres. If zoomers REALLY want the "backrooms" experience, go to your local shopping centre. The one(s) in my area are full of empty shops with like an Iceland's or Tesco keeping the entire shopping centre alive.
>>
>>220851530
>Same with House of Leaves.
Parsons might have picked it up indirectly from other things that were inspired by it but there's definitely a huge House of Leaves inspiration in his Backrooms stuff.
Another one that comes to mind is Lovecraft's "From Beyond". Like there is so much "From Beyond" DNA in the Parsons' interpretation of the backrooms it's undeniable.
>>220851610

Goyim just want to talk about movies here.

>>220851460
They never actually explained what it is. the movie is about psychos and schizos just with a backrooms setting
>>
>>220851460
>Lovecraftian thing.
Maybe not the reddit interpretation of Lovecraft
but the whole premise of Lovecraft's work is the idea of the true nature of the universe being out of reach of human perception under normal circumstances. It's a resounding theme throughout all of his work
So if you're going to invoke Lovecraft don't be a retard that has never actually read it.

They can definitely explore it more though. They left out a lot of the actual backrooms in favor of making clark go crazy
>>
>>220851626
Yeah I'm not trying to discredit the original anonymous poster or Parsons but neither created the concept. Both were likely inspired by many works that already existed. Pretty sure stuff like the IKEA SCP which is definitely 100% a modern "liminal space" predated both as well but I could be wrong.
This isn't to discredit them or anything it's just an example of younger people encountering older works and being inspired by them in all likelihood.

>>220851753
>They left out a lot of the actual backrooms in favor of making clark go crazy
That annoyed me, after the fact, but honestly it's a very weak concept to build an entire series of films like slenderman. Personally I wouldn't mind some kind of slow burn film just exploring the backrooms but you can't make a (money-making) film without a narrative thrust.
>>
>>220850194
he should make an SCP movie
the backrooms post on /x/ was just a shitty vaguepost ripoff scp-3008d

>>220851679
Backrooms is a genuinely good and interesting looking idea. I’m dating this black girl and we were just randomly checking a movie to go see on friday and decided on this one. I had no idea it was the opening day. I remembered /tv/ already seething about it months beforehand. It looked really nice and intense on the big screen with movie theater sound and the screening had a lot of people.

We don't know why the Backrooms exist. Initial theories over the Kane Pixels version was that during an experiment involving a man named Ivan Beck the sun was experiencing higher than normal activity resulting in it affecting the device Beck was using blinding him in one eye and showing him a glimpse of the Complex (Backrooms) and that all of it is a manifestation of his mind as he also loses part of his memory after that event. The movie proves the theory partially in the sense of the Complex pulling information from our world (Standard) and the psyche of people, and potentially even animals, near Null Zones aka naturally occuring doorways into said Complex meaning Ivan Beck could at least be partially behind some aspects behind the appearance or just the first person the Complex had scanned. The first protag from movie Clark even describes the Complex as something living, making rooms and things from memories but in a way that doesn't feel right. To use a line from the movie, it's like telling someone who has never seen a dog the way it looks, feels and how it's mostly layout and asking them to draw it. From afar it might seem like a dog but the closer you get to it the more off it looks. This could imply some sort of consciousness but who knows right now.

Not really but this is a wonderful conversation to bring up just how much more creative this particular site was back in the day. It used to be really common to come up with some seemingly stupid shit and it would turn into multiple threads discussing the idea.

I still remember Vault 120 on /v/. A hypothetical vault in Fallout where everyone is locked into individual cells with small openings on all 4 sides and the cells would rotate randomly every month or so. The board created an entire fucking timeline involving different events and lore in like 1 day. Up to stuff like a guy getting his hand ripped off while fisting someone's ass and becoming a vengeful shitfister and people starving themselves to fit through the holes and going crazy starting a war between normies and "skinnies" that went from cell to cell in groups killing people.

Like all that happened in a fucking day. You don't see fucking anything like that anymore. You get a couple of males in their early 20s together and they really will just go crazy with creating something, feeding off each other with creative energy until they make something genuinely entertaining if nothing else.

The idea the backrooms got poached from here and SCP started here doesn't surprise me at all, what surprises me is it took so long for that to start happening in the first place and how it wasn't happening way earlier.

I have the answer but zoomers don't want to hear it. It's because the oldfags, the goons, the forum posters etc were all nerds, like actual proper nerds. That shit took effort to be part of.

Clark and Mary are just one case file for people having entered the Complex. It's why the movie starts out with a Async employee being attacked by Captain Clark and why they had stuff ready by the time Mary finds the same beach room. That case is closed for the most part. Any future videos from Parsons will probably be other case files and/or straight up Async stuff.

Okay, now I'm convinced there was an actual director behind the A24 and the zoomer was just a face.

>>220851460
It's actually very Lovecraftian.

Hell at the end of the movie they literally have a super intelligent looking scientist dude sit down and practically tell the audience "yeah we can't explain all of this shit." which is good to shut up all the people who want answers to everything.

In fact, I'll go one step further seeing as I actually have read a shitton of Lovecraft - It's not just Lovecraftian in scope and themes and vagueness, but it is more of less straight up the plot to his novel "At the Mountains of Madness."

Just remove the implications that the secret discovered amalgamation-dwelling "city" was manufactured with intent like the Old Ones because in Backrooms its left unexplained entirely beyond implications that reality is sort of bleeding and everyone is susceptible to being memory holed and even replaced in there.

>>220852534
Someone by the name of Black August has claimed to be the original poster, and he has said he doesn't really hold any ill will over it blowing up far beyond anything he would have been able to do.

I do wonder if that sentiment would change a little given how much money the movie is making, but assuming he is telling the truth (its obviously never gonna be proven) he seems to be a good sport about it.

Take with a grain of salt obviously, though to my knowledge nobody else has tried to seriously dispute or prove that they were the original poster. Would be very, very difficult to prove though.

western horror movies and their fans need to end the obsession having everything explained logically. part of the reason internet trends like the backrooms are often scarier than movies is because there's no formal explanation.
I would've even gone one further than Kane and not even added the explanation of the backrooms generating places from memories, although that was an interesting concept.

A lot of viewers seem to mistake Clark's comprehension of the Backrooms as fact, I like that Kane doesn't double down on Clark's theory at and with Async, although the ending is a nod to Clark, he smartly leaves r o o m for conspiratorial meddling and glowie corp lore. I was cringing at the trauma psychoanalysis creep of A24 slop but Kane wanted to flex on his own generation and millennials as well with the dinner scene, he mostly pulled it off, it's not what I wanted but when it's over it works and stays with you, and surreal Lynch wannabe dinner scenes being so tired and gay it's another plus for him.

>>220852820
Even the memories thing is kind of a hazy theory, I'm pretty sure Clark's Pirate Still Life(?) is all lanky and distorted because the backrooms was trying to replicate what it was picking up on the advertisement broadcast (maybe filling in the gaps with Clark himself when he himself showed up?)

I could be wrong but I don't think it made him a pirate just because it was a snapshot of a memory.

Maybe "memories" is the easiest way to simplify and explain it for a laymen but it still doesn't feel quite perfect of what is actually happening.

The shirt is actually period accurate. Bobby is a college student and the early 90s had kids in college calling for an end of Apartheid in South Africa, which ended in 1994. You don't think the Palestine stuff is a one time thing right? Palestine is just the new Apartheid which already came after other commie shit and Vietnam protests.
>black man with white wife
That he abused and they didn't try to hide this fact. Why do you think his wife's still life was afraid of Captain Clark? Also the race consciousness wasn't as bad as it is now in the 90s.

This, IDK why people think she was literally his Wife's still life, he implies he didn't really know who any of those people were.

The other Still Life were almost vegetative but she was shown running earlier during the Christmas Tree scene so I imagine that one just had a bit more cognitive function and tried to run on instinct.

Otherwise why would she not also just sprint away from real Clark? Not even when he scalped her?

She ran because she saw one of the huge 8ft monstrous ones that eat people was coming.

Look I'm glad that an original movie made by a zoomer is captivating audiences and it's a healthy sign for cinema. But the movie wasn't good. It was really lame compared to the YouTube videos. The found footage parts were vastly superior to everything else and the 3rd act was a particularly embarrassing Lynch knockoff where it felt like some kid watched Blue Velvet for the first time

Well, he's making a movie based off a literal meme to appeal to ADHD zoomers with brown skin, so I don't know that this would be selling out.

>>
>>220853136
He didn't, I think. The monster (or something else) got her.

He said he tried to save her as he went to open the fridge, unless I missed another line.

Don't know why he kept the head in there though, besides obviously to show he is too far gone mentally, but that does just kinda incriminate him. But at no point did he imply he was gonna eat Mary or anything, quite the opposite as he was suggesting she start eating the others with him, so I hesitate to think he killed and was eating Kat.

I don't remember well but I thought he said something like "I tried to help her but, she just didn't get it", so I thought he killed her because she was trying to leave or was upsetting the monster or something. you might be right though. it is weird that he still had her head in the fridge though.
>>
>>220853261
When the wagie employee switched the camera on and walked into the backrooms it was fun. Too bad that lasted for like 15 minutes. The movie should have just started from there and been about them, not the trauma mental health slop we got.
>>
>>220853322
I kinda gathered from that scene that she was also realising she was a shit therapist who had her own suppressed trauma and was lashing out at him for not being able to help him and prevent his literal and metaphorical descent..

You are right that Clark did nothing wrong and Mary snapping at him felt retarded and wrong, doubly so given her predicament, but my takeaway was not that it was trying to paint her as morally correct or superior either. She doesn't exactly get a happy ending out of this.

They show a picture of his wife, a redhead, and the still life is the only one that responds negatively to Clark's still life. It doesn't react to anyone else but Captain Clark. The most logical conclusion here is that it's a still life of his wife given the entire region that we see in the movie for the Complex is taking information from Clark and his surroundings environment including his mind.

I watched a cam pirate version.
I was a huge fan of the YouTube videos and watched them as they were released.
It was one of the first times a rendered CGI video had fooled me. Kanes videos were very different in that way at the time.
Technology is fast and now it's not as impressive.

The movie was mid. It's made for people who don't know anything about the backrooms. That's probably who will enjoy this the most.
>>
>>220854071
They're not, and nothing is stopping you.

They've copywrited Kane's series specifically, his lore and concepts that he added, but they can not copywrite the original 4chan post or the basic concept of transporting into the yellow labyrinth.

If someone wants to make their own Backrooms movie based on the original 4chan post about the labyrinth, they are free to do so.

You wouldn't be able to copywrite any ideas if they came from the fan wiki thought, it'd have to be 100% original beyond the basic premise of the Backrooms.

You'd now also have to square up against the very successful A24 movie which people will now see as the "true" Backrooms.

I do imagine there will be slop knock-offs being made as we speak, but desu I'd prefer it if other horror stories integrated it as a sort of twice environment without using it in marketing to cash in. The first big budget horror movie to shock audiences with a sudden backrooms noclip is definitely gonna be talked about, just a matter of who will be the first.

Endless labyrinth with a familiar but slightly uncanny appearance. Issue comes when monsters and different levels gets added in; you trade something infinite and repetitive and the innate horrors from being trapped in that, for increased surrealism and generic shit to run and hide from, which dilutes the original idea and makes it more alike to other existing things.

To add to this interpretation, it's revealed in the film that Async started out as an MRI company but their purpose has evolved to mapping out and trying to learn as much about the Backrooms as they can, so it's essentially a realm that functions like a brain.

They wanted to make a dumb story about a guy with personal problems that basically mirror the creepypasta (this is also what they did in Channel Zero)

Horrors don't need big leads unlike other cheaper genres. They're also in a the safer category to risk ideas with.

The movie leaned more on the found footage horror aspect of the webseries where it's just a bunch of normal civilians being chased around by a monster but I always the most interesting videos were the ones that were just about Async trying to decipher and analyze what the Backrooms is.

How much of the sets were built out, like did the rooms connect somewhat as they do in the movie? That had to be a wild af experience for the actors compared to most any other production. What's the likelihood of a permanent theme park installation?
The pirate not being as viscerally intense as normies hoped was a conscious decision imho, by doing so you run it through your mind more until it burns in a residual effectiveness or affection. Do you think Clark imprinted on the backrooms more than an average person would, I liked that he had such ego synced resonance with it, different from a mad scientist or just a greedy kang, closer to a wagie Col. Kurtz from Apocalypse Now or a Renfield. Duplass' glowie was weak, that he'd shakily hold that position, they'd have a more confident outward face even if Async plans to ack her

At the end isn't it said that entry points are multiplying around the world? Almost as if the map may overtake the territory of reality? It was too dramatically stated iirc. Has Parsons confirmed if he has sole greenlight approval of sequels because they'll want one for 2028.

It's subversively anti-therapy. Her patient dies due to her advice, the pirate tulpa also turns on him once she enters, and there's irony in that she defeats "monster" him too. Then we see how fucked up her childhood was and that in the end her patient was her therapy which is a funny subtle comment on women in general. And then she is the patient at the end opposite glowies, never escaping observation, evoking her schizo mom

This is the weed equivalent of a horror movie. It doesn't really do anything special but it's a satisfying trip anyway

Not him but as someone who wasn't familiar with the lore other than seeing the original image years ago, and who liked the movie until the dinner table scene: It just generally started falling apart at that point.
That conversation in that scene went on too long, the dialogue wasn't interesting or well-delivered enough to justify that. The fact that she escapes and has to run was spoiled by the trailer and poster so there wasn't much tension.
The monster wasn't scary. I don't know whether it was supposed to be. The chase was badly shot. The ending debrief was tedious and felt like a kind of "ooh, it's all so mysterious and massive and unknowable... there's no way you can understand it... maybe it's about memory or trauma or AI hallucinations or regret or something... why not debate it with all your friends..."
Maybe it was being very intelligent and I'm too thick to understand it. Maybe it WANTS to be intelligent but doesn't actually have anything clever to say so it settles for sprinkling some vague abstract visually-interesting stuff and hoping the audience projects something deep into it.

Before Mary enters the rooms, she looks at the map on the blackboard and there's a flashback to him showing her that map in her office. That's the kind of shot you only need to include if you think your audience is stupid as fuck or have been staring at their phones the whole time. So I'm inclined to believe it really isn't as deep and 2clever4u as it wants us to think.

In all fairness I will say I had a mild but unsettling medical problem coincidentally kick in during the credits, and it might have affected my last impressions of the movie and definitely distracted me from reflecting on it. But my take is pretty consistent with other comments I've seen and with the weak cinemascore.

Cinema is doing great. It's just spread out across more titles instead of there being 1 ultra-movie in every screen for 57 months that makes eleventy gazillion dollars.

I genuinely wondered what that shot was.

I mean, how are you going have a concrete answer for something like the backrooms which in essence is noclipping IRL?
>>
>>220855931
It just wasn't good. You can tell it was done by a 20 year old director. The strange room and characters standing around was clearly taken from Blue Velvet, he's imitating Lynch badly. And none of it is even explained. Last we saw of this character, he was running for his life and trying to save the girl. Then it abruptly cuts to him as if he's lived in the backrooms for years and befriended everyone? It's like a totally different movie.

Wasn't there an implied timeskip? Like a few days if not a week had passed.
>>
>>220856003
it's not that similar to blue velvet
>>
>>220856091
A guy becoming so mad that he would grow to love the backrooms and somehow convince all the monsters there to spare him instead of kill him is something that would take a long period of time. Not a couple days like what the movie implies. It's so ridiculously abrupt that the audience is taken out of the movie. Like dude, your youtube videos are found footage short films. We didn't come to see a mediocre psychological thriller all of a sudden just because you think your point about a stagnant dead-end character finding peace in a stagnant otherworldly dimension is profound. You don't bother to develop this angle anyway, so why should we care?
>>
>>220856091
there's definitely been a timeskip as he had enough time to conceive of and draw that huge mural
the mural also implies that he's been picked up and safely put down by the captain at least once before, and I kind of assume it's happened multiple times judging from how he handles it

That's why A24 is betting big on Elden Ring rn.

I got the impression that like a day had passed. Theres no way his furniture shop with be unlocked and nobody bothering to enter it for a few weeks. 1 day max someone would notice and the police would be on site.
But the way she asked him "how long have you been here" when shes in the backrooms doesnt make any sense. No point did anywhere in the film imply the backrooms was distorting the flow of time.
>>

Elden Ring? Did I miss something?

>>220856199
This is why I watched it like Legion, a mood piece because if you try to break down the logic it falls apart quickly.

The thing is the movie was completely fine until the table scene

>The movie was mid. It's made for people who don't know anything about the backrooms. That's probably who will enjoy this the most.
The Movie is made by Kane Pixels, it's stuff (including the movie) falls more in line with the original vibe of the backrooms than any redditslop
>>
>>220856199
Right. The movie was just misconceived. Kane Parsons was clearly trying to swing above his weight and "prove" himself by having acclaimed actors and putting this psychological horror angle to it. But the narrative should've been kept simple -- the more dramatic shit is what you do with your 2nd film. Just have it be mostly found footage, a zoomer version of Blair Witch.

Comedy is dead.
Capeshit is dead.
Blockbuster action movies in general are dead.
Drama is dead.
Horror is cheap as chips to make and it's pretty hard to fuck it up with establishment driven political messaging.

>are you going have a concrete answer for something like the backrooms which in essence is noclipping IRL
No. Glowies approach any phenomenon and threat with aplomb. This is why they wargame zombies. And why they spent billions on psychedelics aside from mind control, paranormal sciences, a.i., CERN. They would have assessments on how to best explore and the scope and ramifications of the size, even acknowledging it may be infinite. The web series is much better on this, whereas the film lacks. If you came out alive and met Async irl you would be impressed by your debrief interrogator, perhaps even swayed, still knowing your fate is a coin toss. Consider how thoroughly the oceans are mapped, how precisely they have mic'd them offbooks etc. along with earth. New frontiers are catnip

The backrooms do not tolerate racism.

Not in the film I don't think but time dilation is a thing in the continuity of this series. That's how that one rogue Async researcher got fucked.

This ain't half-life. It rooms the film of unknowingness.

If you look at A24's movies, most are actually not good at all. A handful have been acclaimed (Everything Everywhere, Moonlight, Uncut Gems, Zone of Interest) but the rest have been mostly unremarkable and only millennial letterboxd fags care about them.
>>
>>220856249
Absolute kino. Two characters inside a literal manifestation of a metaphoric mental space acting out the patterns that brought them there and the only difference in their outcomes is that she focuses on the good and he focuses on the bad.

The movie its just about a nigger using a clipped out place to kill people and then he gets eaten by some monster, the woman was his therapist and she gets caught by the big corp to be turn into another monster

80 million views for his first video:

I give a 5.5/10. I did enjoy the early videos of the early kane pixel videos, but lost interest as it kept going on. This film was good intro to the masses that haven't seen/heard about liminal horror/analog horror. This type of horror works well in online video form over a whole movie.

I heard this movie got leaked. Is it on torrent sites in proper quality or just cam?

I dunno how people watch full movies without getting bored. I can only watch clips at 2x speed on youtube instead.

he looks like a pedo rapist
>>
>>220856842
The videos were pure and distilled in their focus on the sci-fi and horror because the shorter format allowed them to do so. I believe Kane actually discussed this in the Smosh interview, he couldn't get away with this in a 100 minute film so characters arcs had to be included.
>>
>>220856994
not that anon but holy fuck you are a stupid retarded nigger. Async doesnt create the monsters, the backrooms does. It was established mid way through that the backrooms 'remembers them' and thats how you get those weird people and clarks monster.
>>
>>220857005
just cam atm.

Specifically, that last scene shows her memories physically appearing in the Backrooms. That last shot is her own Still Life, not actually her. Just like how Pirate Clark was Clark's Still Life.

async might have had the place under observation and been shooing the cops away, they have DOE backing
I don't find it totally implausible and I assume he was gone for at least a couple of weeks at that point

so the movie feels like a video game and that's why it's popular

That would make further less sense. Shit would be boarded up. They would not leave it completely unsupervised.
Actually I rewatched it and theres a homeless dude in the carpark. As if he wouldnt of walked in and crashed in the furniture shop at some point.
