What would you like to see in '2 The BACKROOMS'?I wanna see more Poolrooms, less traumaslop
>>220924577>he needs a co-writer againLol
>>220924577A plot that isn't shit. All he had to do was felsh out the very first video he made and that's it, not this trauma crap where people can also come and go as they please.
>>220924577kid is in over his head
>>220924577This is my Backrooms 2 wishlist:>A lifeform born from Clark's corpse>The Red City>Marathon Runner Still Life>The Found Footage 2 basement rooms>Marvin taking revenge against Async and confronting Ivan Beck with Mark's shotgun>The Pitfalls>A collaboration with IKEA
>>220924577dead nigger storage
>>220924577An anon already said the Red City, so I'll say this: I hope Kane or whomever is in charge of casting doesn't cast some A-Lister for the sequel who takes up a huge chunk of the budget. Both Backrooms and Obsession proved you can make a great movie that does great at the box office with some literal who actors.
>>220924577See how easy it is for the suits to see "line go up" and demand a sequel to make the line go up more.Then the sequel has a barely coherent plot of asspulls and the now series of films gets worse and worse, more expensive and eventually dies off on an unsatisfying position where noone will consider a sequel again.Par and course for horror series
they already revealed the main mechanics of the Backrooms, what else could there be?
>>220924577>AAAAHHHHHHHH
>>220924625>A collaboration with IKEAKek.
>>220924577The Backroom 2 is set in a giantess anus. The protassonists must find his way out.>how'd he got thereHe was swallowed as an egg and hatched in the giantess' GI tract.
>>220924577Guns. It actually annoyed me that it took so long for the Async guys to start carrying guns in the YouTube series. And even then it was only one guy on the team, and he let himself get disarmed.
>>220924625>>220925034That'd be funny, actually. Sell some wonky, limited-edition furniture that doesn't serve a purpose, all in boxes with different tacky yellow wallpaper patterns on them...
>>220924577You know the guy who done the camrip and shushed his grandma at the start of it?He's the main character, instead of a shit therapist it's a shit lawyer and A24 is suing him for unlawful distribution of their intellectual property. The grandma dies during the trial and becomes a backrooms monster.Produced by A24
In the Backrooms universe, I wonder how bad Earth is in current year. I would imagine more and more portals have opened up to where it could no longer be kept a secret from the general public. I guess that's something I'd like to see explored. Doesn't have to be in the the second movie but eventually.
More time spent in therapy obviously.Maybe the protagonist could join some kind of support group like Alcoholics Anonymous and we could sit around watching them introduce themselves and talk about how alcohol was destroying their life and relationships, and they could all pat each other on the back about how long they'd been sober and how well they were doing. Absolutely riveting stuff.Then have a guy walking through a yellow room in the last five minutes. Have a title screen come up that says, 'The Backrooms directed by Kane Parsons'.Instant kino.
>>220924577Grandma SHHHHHH
>>220925034>>220925175>this is an actual ad from IkeaWe are going to fucking unironically get Ikea product placement in a backrooms movie, arent we?
>>220925323>I would imagine more and more portals have opened up to where it could no longer be kept a secret from the general public. I guess that's something I'd like to see explored.I know this is the way its eventually going with the lore, but I actually think its kind of boring. I dont really care about a full on merger of realities. I would rather they keep the backrooms contained. Thats what makes it scary to me, it being its own thing thats inescapable. If it merges with our world and there is no our world anymore its just boring.
>>220924577based on 5 Nights at Freddies movies, sequel will just be a cringe hollywood monster movie chasing some annoying characters
>>220924577I forced myself to sit through this again to see if I missed anything, but I gotta tell you guys, this film has absolute zero rewatchability. I love the Backrooms concept and a lot of Backrooms/liminal shit, so I wanted to like this film, but it just didn't really do anything for me in at the end of the day. I thought I'd at least enjoy the actual Backrooms parts themselves the second time, but they were actually pretty meh, again bogged down by the 'muh emotional trauma' and therapy shit. It's just not that clever or impactful - either the use of the Backrooms themselves, liminal shit and weirdness, or the character stuff. The dinner scene just seems forced and the pirate shit just seems lolsorandom. The woman is so meh and too, both in looks and character.The only thing that even has a pulse is Ejiofor doing the in-universe cringey peg-leg pirate ad. I don't totally hate it and there are good aspects, but it's just not enough. I know I'll never watch it again and that kinda tells me where I really come down on this. I've watched and played plenty of other Backrooms videos, and vidya multiple times, (including Kane's), enjoyed them every time, and would watch and play again, but just not this. Sorry.If they make a sequel, I'll watch that, hoping for the best. Maybe an increased budget will miraculously improve the next one against all odds. I just hope they don't increase it too much because that's often counterproductive.

>>220925152Guns seem useless against extradimensional enemies. Besides they dont seem hostile 100% of the time. They only attack you if you arent meshing with their environment.
>>220925323This movie owes 40% of its success to Chitwezels acting. But also props to the zoomie director for being able to fully utilize his talent
>>220924577Inwant to see the backrooms monetized in universe as an infinite storage/office space. Like you can book your office to be in the backrooms if you take the 1/1000 risk of being atomized by a lovecraftian horror
>>220924744It’s the goyims fault for continuing to see shit sequels every time
>>220925323Sequel will be self-referential film where they filming the first Backrooms film. They build the physical Backrooms sets and Kane and the actors are in there filming and spoopy shit starts happening because ZOMG! da Backrooms iz real u guise! What if we accidentally made dem da realz by physically building them!>Herp derp get my out of here Mr. Parsons, I am real actor Chiwetel Ejiofor playing myself now and I have an important Hollywood meeting to get to, this practical joke has gone far enough!>I'm not doing anything though Mr. Ejiofor, I'm only 20 years old and I just told them how to build the sets according to the original Backrooms design with the original wallpaper design ... OH SHI->conversation about Internet Meme Magic must be real and all the things that have happened to prove it, how Kane wore a Sonichu Medallion for a joke once ...

Bring her back
what the fuck could they possibly do for a sequel without it just being the same thing as the first one? It's a one trick pony story
>>220926147One of the best parts of the film. Gets a few minutes. Is the most rational person for that few minutes. Boyfriend doesn't listen to her.>tfw He didn't live long enough to stop apartheid
>>220925323No wonder they let this zoomer be a director, look at that directing pose, kids a natural
>>220926200No, you just lack imagination. Unfortunately so do a lot of Hollywoodfags, which is why sequels are always only the kind of shit you could conjure up in your likewise creatively-limited brain.I said this about Trek writers who complained that adhering to Roddenberry's vision of the future as 'too limiting' to write, (eg. Not having the usual relationship conflict between humans). But it's your JOB as a writer to think of shit based on what you're working with, so how about stop whining and figure it the fuck out? Same reason Disneyfags can't make proper Star Wars, even if they actually tried. It's too hard for them to stay within canon, so they just do the usual lame shit.The Backrooms does have certain basic parameters and precedents you shouldn't violate without a damn good reason, but that leaves about a gazillion things you COULD do.
>>220924577who cares, nobody saw the first one
>>220926332nice AI slop response, saar
>>220924577Damn, A24 has been hitting the bank the whole year.
why do some people want this to return as a tv show? why are people saying this?
Unironically adapt the Backrooms autism with the gods and levels. Backrooms was boring and a little bit of autism with weird levels and psychotic gods would be nice. This weekend will show a drastic drop off in Boxoffice because people are realizing how boring it was.
>>220926383Pull a knife and take your life
>>220926147Clark or pirate Clark ate her
>>220926544I assume pirate clark ate her. I think pirate clark assumed real clark was going to keep leading more souls into the backrooms for him. When Clark let the doctor go pirate clark had no more use for the original clark
>>220924577Give me the equivalent of aliens to the first film's alien. Give me an 80s action movie star in the backrooms fighting off a ton of monsters and getting the smoking hot girl or something. Fuck it, do it
>>220924588And? It's helpful to have someone to bounce ideas off of and have someone to just looked you dead in the eye and ask why the fuck your smoking with some ideas
>>220926435No

>>220925766>Makes black character into dodgy alcoholic deadbeat that you have to watch your back around>Ends up with one of the best true-to-character acting performances of all time
I would rather watch the BrokenBuckRooms, if you catch my drift
>>220925839You know... honestly this doesn't sound THAT bad
>>220924577I'll take more traumaslop as long as we get more exploration and a slightly larger budget for extended exploration scenes.
>>220926147Didn’t know she was hiding those!
>>220924577This shit is boring as hell they had some trauma story which you could had without backrooms even being there
>>220924577Make part 2 just be yellow suits exploring deeper and deeper levels.
>>220926147Crafted for bwc
>>220925323>I AM LE DIRECTORThis is unironically worse than Travolta's berets. Travolta also made a way better movie.
>>220925323>In the Backrooms universe, I wonder how bad Earth is in current year.considering the surge of disappearances that happened immediately after ASYNC made contact with the rooms, it's safe to say by now the universe itself would be royally fucked
>>220924577does anything even happen in this film? can somoene post spoilers
>>220924577Almond Water
>>220925323portals? is this a portal movie?
>>220924577Just make it a Phantom of the Opera rip off. Call it Backstage. Same spooky mechanics but now it's at a theater.
>>220925323I dont think the creatures ever bleed out into the real world but idk zoomer scp lore.
>>220924577>screenwriting collaborator>ie someone to write it and him to give them a writing creditI wouldn't even mind creepypasta slop, but it's because it was a mid pasta in the first place and zoomers think it's something incredible.
>>220926593I think it’s more metaphorical, normal Clark accepts his bad side so pirate Clark who is an embodiment of normal Clark’s bad side eats me methaporically being consumed by his dark side and by evil pirate Clark
>>220926200>Film set>8 - 9 people> They all clip through the floor when filming>they freak out but start exploring>get to know the cameraman and the cast and their relationships with each other> First lifeform death causes them to fracture into smaller groups >variously explore the backrooms, and they each get confronted with their own memories/traumas> Some rejoin, less relevant characters die>third act massacre>one person escapes the complex, clips through the floor, and falls fifty storiesSome variation of this.
>>220924588It's ok to ask for help anonIt's chutzpah to think otherwise
>>220926828imagine who sits on all those couches when the lights go off though
>>220924588Movies take hundreds of people to produce lol stop being a faggot
>>220924577was pleasantly surprised at how good the movie actually was, its about time we got a proper spine-tingling bone-chilling slow burn kino.
>>220928356Backrooms 2>Film stars Kane Parsons as himself>he is filming a movie called "The Backrooms">his actors mysteriously start dissapearing>he gets tired and wonders off set>in the real backrooms>HOLY SHIT Backrooms is real???>starts filming actual creatures and shit >Kane dies half eay through>the rest of the movie is the cast getting picked off slasher styleLmao jk jk. This would legitimately be cancer and kill the franchise but i think some zoomers would love the shit out of this
The traumaslop plot sort of trivializes the eldritch nature of the backrooms.
>>220924977They didn't get into levels or timefuckery in this one.
>>220926200Easy. You do Aliens. A team of Marines goes in and has to fight a whole hive of Captain Clarks. Easy $200M.
What if the backrooms were created by Wakandans as part of the underground railroad to smuggle out slaves, and ASYNCH is a company founded by former slave owners. And the moral is that wh*te people were the true monsters all along?
>>220928032They took Captain Clark out into the real world in the movie.
>>220924989>*retarded pirate entity takes a bite*>"mmm...shocolade :D"
>>220928951Oh good point. I couldnt tell what that was when i went to see it. But it seems thw creatures dont want to willingly leave but i suppose that can be explored
>>220924989>I may have gone too far in a few rooms
The BACK2OOMS
>>220924577I have just the woman
>>220929056I don't know that they don’t willingly want to leave. The door is invisible on both sides. I think its just the fact that its just as hard for them to find an exit as it is for us.
>>220925747But if the chick can incapacitate an entity by beating it with a rock a few times it stands to reason guns would do even more damage, also captain clark was shown presumably dead in the Async headquarters later so they can apparently be killed.
>>220926224Why didn't they carry a knife around? They could have cut the rope when the entity was pulling from it
>>220929119How comes captain Clark had a brain and bones like a human while the other still lifes were filled with white stuff
>>220925565are the backrooms in mexico?
>>220927937>Backrooms ain't got nothin' to do with me pal!
>>220924577Why don't we see anything in Backrooms manifest from Mary's psych? The entire movie plays up that she lived with an abusive schizophrenic mother but we never see any of that manifest in the same way that it did with Clark.
>>220927947Can't they just like, build concrete walls over the portals?
>>220928855This
>>220928951Did they though? The last sequence felt ambiguous, what with the interrogation scene cutting away to the chick sitting in the backrooms in a similar looking room, making you wonder if she ever actually got out or what you see if just an echo of her real self and the interrogation room. Not well versed in backrooms lore myself so now not sure how to interpret it.
>>220929198I assume because it only copies whats in direct vicinity of the door, remember clark was living in the furniture store. And the final shot is a backrooms fascimile of Mary at the end so it eventually start copying her too.
>>220929198Aren't the huge piles of clothes and furniture directly lifted from her memory of living in a shitty ass house with her mentally ill mom? Besides the ending shows that the backrooms are starting to also copy her brain.>>220929244Mary got out but the backrooms have also started to copy her memories hence why the last shot is a fucked up Mary similar to the entity that Clark has created.
>>220924577Can a backrooms autist explain if the seagul was real or a manifestation of the Backrooms itself?
>>220929198The shot of her living room growing up, copies of copies stacked on top of one another. I'm not quite sure what the point of the shot was and didn't seem to connect to anything else.
>>220928951That wasn't the real world. That was a copy of the showroom. Mary tried to exit the front door and it was blocked by another yellow wall.
>>220929286>Aren't the huge piles of clothes and furniture directly lifted from her memory of living in a shitty ass house with her mentally ill mom?I've never seen anyone bring this up or make this connection but that acutally makes a lot of sense. Although why is all the furniture gone when she finally enters?
>>220924588>he is credited with a hit A24 film and already has a contract for a sequel before the first one is even out of theatres I'm sure you achieved so much more than that at his age, cringelennial
>>220929320No anon, that was the real world. The entrance to the store was blocked because it was another entrance to the backrooms.>>220929332>Although why is all the furniture gone when she finally enters?I assumed that Clark simply moved shit around to feel more at home or something bs like that.
>>220929094is that the Gamergate who fucked up gaming for a generation of men? Ddint she also fuck like 5 guys?
>>220929201I dont think Earth has to worry about entities invading it like its Half-Life.The whole idea is you found an exception to "no clip" into unrendered space. The hack to enter the backrooms is unique to those who discover it. And if you can get out there is no risk of being pursued. At least thats my understanding
The found footage section in the middle was kino. Why couldn't the whole thing have been like that?
>>220929356>The entrance to the store was blocked because it was another entrance to the backrooms.I'm not understanding. Could someone still enter the store from the main entrance?
>>220925323I think you could have the rumors of "noclipping out of reality" become diegetic to the world. All it takes it one guy seeing someone fall through a wall or solid floor and disappear and you'd have the start of an urban legend.>this guy I know says his cousin's friend's classmate's neighbor found a hole in reality to this yellow place full of endless hallways and fluorescent lightsOr some guy finds a camera abandoned somewhere strange full of footage of someone who tried to explore the backrooms like Clark and then never found his way back out, only his camera did, somehow.and if we've got more "doors" opening and more people's memories seeping in, then we don't have to have anything specifically referencing the furniture store or Mary's childhood schizo home, and can move into a weirder and weirder set of areas to see and explore.
>>220929389There is some weird boomer issue with found footage after paranormal activity. It's either overdone and feels cheap or there needs to be more of it
>>220929419>Could someone still enter the store from the main entrance?No, the final pirate store was just a copy of the real thing: the closed off floor was another part of the whole backrooms complex. Mary got out of it through the entrance from the scientists' lab.
>>220929466I don't know, I would've taken an entire movie of the opening scene and the part where Clark and his employees go into the Backrooms. That might honestly've been my favorite use of the format that I've seen. The Christmas room was pure kino.
>>220929201>Can't they just like, build concrete walls over the portals?They're appearing everywhere across the world, from homes, to businesses, to even on roads, and will most likely be out of control of anyone by now.>>220929198>"the More it remembers something, the less it does"the "dining room" Clark brought her to was meant to represent her childhood home
>>220929525I completely agree the entire movie should have been found footage and that was the height of the movie but I am saying boomers/motion sickness retards have been criticizing it since paranormal activity which is probably why it didn't
>>220929389>>220929466>>220929525>>220929553The zoom-zoomer next to my seat was bitching that the found footage scenes made him motion sick during the movie, I wouldn't be surprised if that was a thing too during the first audience reactions.
>>220924588Salty. Are you the author of the original post or something?
>>220929576Isn't Parsons' webseries found footage style?
>>220929529Why would Clark bring her to her own house? I thought he said it was his
>>220929159I think that's why clark had a knife by the end
>>220929603Yeah but I guess that it's a different thing than seeing it on a big ass screen.
>>220929576Zoomers watch the most retarded found footage siren head shit on tiktok though, the only people I have seen actually complain about something like this in a theater was a 50 year old woman
>>220929634Now that I think about it, he was also likely half stoned so there was that
>>220929605he doesn't know that, plus we're talking about the rationality of a man driven insane by the rooms
>>220929468Yeah that's what I thought. The person above said "No anon, that was the real world."
Is it a play on how you misremember your past and strip out the finer details? the section where she's remembering her apartment and it's full of clothes, some lighting. then the camera goes down in layers where more and more detail gets stripped out from the apartment until all she remembers is the general cubic shape of the room. The backrooms remembered the shape of the people, but eventually forgot their faces and how the collars on their shirts were. If you were given a 3d program and asked to rebuild a hotel you visited as a kid, it would look like the backrooms.
>>220929663The lab that they bring Mary in during the very last sequence of the movie is the real world, said lab also seems to have a direct entrance to the backrooms where the first "copied" floor is the upper one of Clark's shitty furniture store.
What do you guys think Disney's take away will be from their Star Wars slop getting mogged by a 20 year old on a $10 million budget?
>>220929742Mando goes in the backrooms of Jabba's palace.

>>220924577Entertainment
>>220929389Those were the worst parts of the movie.
>>220929576getting motion sick is bitch behavior that shouldn’t be coddled anyway
>>220929859The opening first person sequemce was perfect, felt like a survival horror videogame
Who was in the wrong here?
>>220929881Maybe if you’ve never seen that before.
>>220929888why dont therapists always just tell their clients the 100% full truth?
>>220929888I like how the background extra is slowly swaying... 2spooky
>>220929888That is some next level dogshit writing holy fuck.
>>220929890What other found footage movies capture the same feeling as the opening scene? Closest I can think of is Gonjiam.
>>220929890What major movie did it better?Hardcore Henry and DOOM movies both tried and laughably failed.
>>220924577>more Poolrooms, less traumaslopthismake a whole movie like that introductory bit and when clark and his employees were exploring
>>220929890>>220929922my favorite part is when the kid is using the rope to climb down, then freaks out and climbs back up all while holding the camera with this third hand or something. Very believable.
>>220929888ESL here, does>the way that you're wiredmean >the way that you are/act?
I am much more interested in things like the Tyrell corporation taking advantage of AI and Weyland-Yutani fucking over their employees for military research than I am in "dude what if like, we misremember things based on our own victimhood" so I would love to see stories with the backrooms use more things like corporate greed or man's hubris. I don't really give a fuck about what that story is. Idk, just make it about async doing fucked up shit
>>220929907the copy people staying mostly still but sometimes twitching or just shifting their weight was far creepier, especially when they suddenly did shit>>220929911i didn't enjoy it. you're expected to trust this woman when she says all the bad shit about clark because we don't see him doing any of it except for when she's goading him with her smug little smaller-than-it-should-be mouth
>getting drunk at barsdo guys still do this? might be more destructive to the bank account than the wife's sephora/ulta trips.
>>220929967They were pulling him back up, anon. He wasn't climbing shit on his own.
>>220929949Sorry. But making this movie 100% found footage would be a disaster. Movies like Cloverfield, Blairwitch, Chronicle fucking blow. Blairwitch maybe gets a pass cause when it did it it was new, but making your movie 100% found footage is insanley constricting and limiting. Having 1-3 found footage segments is fine but doing a whole 100 min movie like that is exhausting and we learnt this lesson over and over again.
>>220929865this. i'm willing to wager that loads of people who get reliably 'motion sick' are like children who have already convinced themselves they don't like broccoli or whatever.they think "im going to get motion sick, i'm going to get motion sick, this always makes me motion sick" and then shockingly, they end up feeling motion sick
>>220929968Yeah, it's used to refer to the way that you fundamentally act and or are.
>>220929971I'm not saying you can't do that sort of philosophical plot but if this movie came out 30 years ago, the entire narrative would have been the film's d or e plot with one member of the team sent in there. Not the entire goddamn focus.
>>220929922The problem with trying to capture the feeling of a video game is that it doesn’t work in movie form. You aren’t controlling the movie so the immersion can’t be replicated. Found footage perspective as a whole has been done better in other films, but the first person POV in as it pertains to imitating a video game is never going to be the same. Backrooms seemed contrived in those moments, so the standard perspective of filming evoked the sense of eeriness much better.>>220929921Anything with jerky camera motion that doesn’t do what you would do in that same circumstance.
>>220930030Zank you, anon.
>>220930015>noooooo we need black man therapy sessions it would be too hard to make the whole movie interesting!
>>220929967Why didn’t they pull the slack of the rope up? You’re running from a monster, a child would have thought of that.
>>220929968No. Way your wired means way you were born.
>>220930015paranormal activity made an insane amount of money on it you delusional twat, and probably could have continued if they kept changing up the medium of how the footage was captured like they did for the first 3 flicks
>>220929982>we don't see him doing any of itClark losing his shit at the first role play sessions pretty much told us everything we needed to know
>>220929968It means that but specifically refers to how it's an inherent, unalterable part of yourself.
>>220930019Motion sickness is a very real thing, both I and my sister get it and I have to be careful with found footage. The trend in the late 2000's/early 2010's where everyone used "shakey cam" because it was "more realistic" was incredibly detrimental to me and early 3D video games fuck me up too.That being said yeah, most people bitching are just stupid. Get some ginger ale or even some sprite and tilt your head slightly. It also helps to sit closer to the screen because then there isn't shit in your peripheral vision throwing your inner ear balance off.

>>220930041My biggest complaint with Backrooms (which i really liked overall) was we never see the Backrooms really reward Clark with anything to give us a believable reason he would get lost in the madness. For example in the Shinning when Jack torrence is shunned by his wife Lloyd the bartender is there with a free drink and a welcoming ear, Mr Creedy the former caretaker is there to empathize with him. The house provides Jack with a twisted sort of comfort that his wife isnt providing.We never really get that with the Backrooms. There is a vague implicstion that the Backrooms act as a sort of sandbox for Clark but most of it happens off screen. It would have been nice to see Clark be rewarded sith something like Free furniture to sell or a domain to truly master so we can understand that "beauty" he finds in the Backrooms.
>>220930082it's just that most of the people I know act like children about it. They will repeatedly voice their issue aloud rather than endeavour to make it a background issue of their life. one of my friends gets motion sick with a certain game that has a number of options that can alleviate the issue, but his excuse for hours upon hours of complaining about it and 'taking breaks' instead of taking 10-15 mins to test some configurations is "i shouldn't have to be the one to figure that out".
>>220930164when she finds clark at the start he says she's being too loud, and he's very cautious. that tells me that he's been barely surviving. then it's suddenly implied that he has some kind of arrangement with the backrooms stuff
>>220930015As Above So Below was Backrooms, except it didn't suck. And it was found footage.
>>220924577How will the black guy navigate the pool rooms?
>>220930004If they were pulling him back up, there wouldn't have been rope slack for the monster to grab. Pulling someone up only works if the rope is taught.
>>220930234Sigh, was that actually good? The wordy title always put me off. If i hated shit like Blair Witch and clover field but loked the Descent would i like it?
>>220930256they let go of the rope to grab him and all the slack slid down the shaft
>>220929742Their lesson learned from Mando will be that males shouldn't be leads.
>>220930276probably not, no, if you use words like 'hated' for moderately entertaining popcorn flicks
>>220930253Kek
>>220930256>If they were pulling him back up, there wouldn't have been rope slack for the monster to grab. Pulling someone up only works if the rope is taught.This part annoyed me too. If he didnt need the rope why give it to him for any othwr reason than to get mercked. I thought for a moment they were going for a Theseus and the monator rope to get back to the entrance thing.
>>220930253About as good as an Indian would navigate... the Bathrooms
>>220925619Would you have liked it more if Frank Fuckbear was an allegory for the MC's Dad being an alcoholic?
>>220930300I was under the impression he was panicking and pulling himself up while they were pulling on the end of the rope he was gripping so some amount of slack was being trailed behind
>>220930099i hated that room. most obvious bluescreen pit in the center. that one room with the balcony railing was cooler

>>220924588>>220928067Many great directors didn't write their own scripts, or at least wrote them with a co-writer: John Ford, Hitchcock, Sidney Lumet, and Kubrick. I guess it's only a problem if you don't like their work and are trying to discredit them.
>>220929356No it wasn't, otherwise she would have "exited" the backrooms through the wall and not a hole in the floor.

>>220930582She exited the backrooms through the split in the wall of the copied store, anon. When she came out of the hole from the suspended staircase, she was still inside the backrooms, hinted by the fact that the store was closed off by a giant yellow wall
How do we know for sure that the Clark that Pirate Clark killed was the "real" Clark? Can there be multiple facsimiles of the same thing in the Backrooms?
>>220930546grabbed a vid off google maps
>>220930710Comfy
>>220929286>>220929332Piles of clothes are backrooms lore. Basically they're all that remains from the humans that get lost in the backrooms, the Lifeforms (weird stick creatures, barely see them in the movie, they're the ones that kill the cameramen dude) drag corpses to their dens where they get absorbed, leaving only clothing behind.
>>220929888>Who was in the wrong here?The wife. Apply the same logic to her. He stays late at work, she blames him. Man has a drink, she blames him. Wants kids, for which they need money, she's not happy either way. Can't handle getting a law degree, it's just her brain. Not happy in her marriage, it's his fault and that's just the way women are wired.

>>220929742All responses to this are hilarious because they're probably true. There is a room at Disney full of unqualified Woke dipshits saying all this shit over a conference table right now lol.Only the worst possible take could win out in the end and they'll all agree with each other about it as if that makes it unassailable truth, implement it, and fuck up Star Wars even more. Kek. Since non-retards have trouble thinking that retarded, we'll have to wait and see what the Retard Committee actually decided and it will likely be more retarded than even we can possibly imagine.Something like:>copy the races and sexualities of the actors playing the characters, because obviously that's what people want amirite? Also we need to hire a director with Kane Parson's haircut>more yellow in the backgrounds>what if there were secret portals that would transport you to secret planets and onto Empire ships? They don't like taking time to actually travel to places anyway, so that would mean they could get to the talking scenes even quicker!>Mando goes to therapy to talk about his feelings about taking care of Grogu and realises how wrong he was>the alien therapist is Glup Shitto
>>220930230>>220930164while I do think that part is the weakest little segment of the movie, I think that the implication is that Clark only thought that he had some kind of arrangement with the backrooms. He's barely surviving and thinks he "gets" it and when he confronts captain clark, things go south. He did seem to have some amount of not being killed by captain clark before, but I think he misunderstood that for some greater sense of belonging here.
>>220931205IRL
>>220929888Both of them. Mary is a terrible therapist who abused Clark for an unknown span of time, while maintaining the facade of an insightful and expert therapist who promised she could help him. Instead she just insulted him, threw his failures in his face, and made him roleplay the night he got kicked out over and over again. She was supposed to be helping him get better and move past his failures, and instead she just made him relive it over and over, because that's how she was unsuccessfully coping with her own trauma. By the end, she's guilty as fuck because she knows everything that happened was mostly her fault. Clark, unfortunately, was a failure and he needed to be told that directly and not through repetitive roleplay exercises. He's wearing a shirt from a 1970 Architectural expo at one point, meaning it's been at most 20 years since he's done any architectural work of any kind, besides doodling. His furniture store sucks and people hate him, which is why he has no customers and gets people vandalizing his store. The place was left unlocked for days, maybe weeks, while he was in the Backrooms and no one noticed or cared. He's an alcoholic who bitches about not having money, but then tells he wife he can drink as much as he wants to because he "works hard" at a store with no customers selling shitty, defective furniture. By the end, he's killed by the embodiment of all of the bad memories about him, because he treats people like shit and no one likes him. If he'd gotten real therapy from someone who wasn't a literal schizo pretending to be a therapist, he might not have snapped the way he did, and he only had some clarity again when Mary was finally honest with him and told him what a whiny loser he is to his face.
>>220931205A severe lack of furniture sales.
>>220930710SOVL
>>220930955While I do see that, I think it is meant to be ambiguous. Just like his therapist, we never see his wife, we never see how anything really happened. Only have what he told us happened. I'm sure his wife made him the bad guy as well when she talks about him, nothing is her fault, is all his fault, but that is exs for you.Also think the therapist might just be lashing out here, she sells the lie that she can help people she knows she can't help, is fucked up herself, and probably sick of hearing about everyone's problems.
>>220931268Good post.
>>220931168I think it'd be funny as a scene of someone trying to make sense of the bacrooms through superstition and ritual only to get stuck and die because it doesn't work like that.
>>220931268>and made him roleplay the night he got kicked out over and over againI can see where you're coming from but I THINK the roleplay they do at the start of the movie was only the second time they did that particular thing. I could be wrong but I think they've done that roleplay 3 times by the end of the movie when she tells him to fuck off afterwards. I do think they leave it vague on how long he's been seeing her altogether though, unless I missed something.

>>220931268bretty gud take
>>220931268>If he'd gotten real therapy from someone who wasn't a literal schizo pretending to be a therapistPROTIP: Most of the people who work in psychology/therapy got into it in the first place because they have issues of their own, and most of it is 'soft science' (unprovable) at best, and total horseshit at worst.ie. None of them can help you, they are all schizo retards.That feel you get when you read something off a quote-a-day calendar. That's all you're getting. Seems like good advice that makes sense at the time, but you'll forget it in five minutes and it sure as fuck wont change your life permanently the way you imagine. Fun fact: They know they are all fucked-in-the-head and that's why they got into the profession, so they also 'police themselves' by ... you guessed it ... giving each other therapy sessions lol. I fucking kid you not.

>>220931268Unironically this, they are both pretty bad people. Clark got the short end of the stick but Mary won't obviously be free to go out of the facility any time soon because of whatever future involvement she will have regarding the mapping of the backrooms

>>220931569damn the other kid is surprisingly passable
>>220931583Based off the opening scene, B seems to imply A. What I want to know is why they want to map the Backrooms? What would they even do with a map of it and isn't it implied to be infinite and spontaneous?
>>220931569Kane is 20 years old, above average looking, and just directed a huge success of an idea that is super popular among zoomers. He also seems to be a good guy to work with. He could date literally anyone he wants.
>be Mary>keep stupid concrete handprint thing>literally pull it out of your arse when attacked by a pirate monster in the BackroomsWorst Chekhov's Gun ever.
>>220931415It's not clear, but the tone and implication I read from Clark's response after she springs that on him is that they've been doing this for a while. Maybe only a few weeks, but it very much reads like their therapy sessions haven't gone anywhere because she keeps pushing for the roleplay replay so often.
>>220931676>try to physically harm something you were just told feels no pain and doesn't even have organs
>>220931645>What would they even do with a map of it and isn't it implied to be infinite and spontaneousIirc they were trying to use it for housing and storage in the youtube series? Or at least that's what they told the company higher ups/the government to get approval and greated funding.
>>220931577I don't think I will.No way you can unsee that shit when you've had it shoved in your face in 4K with lighting that seems specifically engineered to highlight it. it's horrific.

>>220931676Protip... the concrete handprint was manifested by the backrooms from her memory of it
>>220931707>but it very much reads like their therapy sessions haven't gone anywhere because she keeps pushing for the roleplay replay so often.I read it as she's been trying different failing methods but the therapy hasn't gone anywhere like you said. It may just be my own mental bias framing how I'm interpreting the segment. I do plan on watching the movie again though.>>220931732well that one is obvious, the thing is about to kill her and she has something hard to smash it with. She's not going to just stop and say "oh well I was told this doesn't feel pain so I'm going to act logically." No she's still going to freak out and try to bash its face in for dear life.
>>220924577The 2nd one should be found footage. Legitimately the only creepy parts in the movie. The analog style does a better job of capturing the fear around liminal space than some tracking camera shots.
>>220931797If repetition and reliving memories, both figuratively and literally through the Backrooms themselves, weren't such a strong theme to the movie, I could understand how you might think Mary has been trying every method she can to try and get through to Clark. However, Mary is also shown to be living in the past, constantly repeating memories, is also alone and not quite as successful as she wants to be (running a shitty therapy practice out of a strip mall in a small town is not where a successful therapist would be), seemingly alone with no friends or lovers, and has no answers for how to fix any of it
>>220931852This, but there are some cool tracking shots like with the long hallway shot.
>>220924588fpbpbonus all the butthurt fags responding
>>220931886>If repetition and reliving memories, both figuratively and literally through the Backrooms themselves, weren't such a strong theme to the movie, I could understand how you might think Mary has been trying every method she can to try and get through to Clark.what you've said here is a fair point, and I'll keep it in mind when I go to rewatch. I got the strong sense that the roleplay was new to their routine, but it's possible I was going in with my own assumptions like I suggested.>is also alone and not quite as successful as she wants to be (running a shitty therapy practice out of a strip mall in a small town is not where a successful therapist would be), seemingly alone with no friends or lovers, and has no answers for how to fix any of itI didn't consider this before. I was a bit more charitable to the character because despite her failings, the actress makes it feel like the character really does give a shit, and believes she's doing her best until she realizes she can't do anything towards the end.Like I said, I'll give that some real thought on a rewatch.
>>220930710AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHI'M GOING INSANE
>>220931886I can fix her...
>>220931645hello Kane, you havin a gigglin there m8?
>>220932033She's definitely not as much of a trainwreck as Clark is, but she's a lot like him, right down to watching shitty TV alone at night. I think the parallels are intentional, with both of them actually having the capacity to get over their bullshit trauma, but not actually trying until being traumatized worse by a benign parallel reality that incidentally makes warped copies of their memories.
>>220931732I got a decent jump scare when she wakes up and is almost on top of her, but where she was keeping that piece of concrete and how it was really an effective weapon against an eight foot non-feeling pirate monster just totally takes me out of it. Also I not only think that thing is too dense and weird shaped for her to just carry comfortably around in her pocket, I doubt she has the strength to even wield it as an effective weapon.>>220931793>the concrete handprint was manifested by the backrooms from her memory of itTHIS IS A LIE.She clearly pulls it out of her pocket so she's supposedly been carrying it around the whole time without a weird bulge in her pants, or any discomfort whatsoever. Any other shit you want to just make up in your own head that we should know about faggot?
>>220932271>I doubt she has the strength to even wield it as an effective weapon.I yield
>>220932242>, right down to watching shitty TV alone at night. I think the parallels are intentional,yeah that part felt very intended. The whole going through loops thing at the start where she's doing the session applies just as much to her as him, and the way we get introduced to her moms past with the caretaker music (which famously is about incurable dementia) as the mother is carted away, hints that she's going nowhere just as fast as Clark, and almost beats us over the head with why she's doing all of this.>with both of them actually having the capacity to get over their bullshit trauma, but not actually trying until being traumatized worse by a benign parallel reality that incidentally makes warped copies of their memories.it's funny how Clark at the end before he dies talks about wired this way and all of that, but despite deciding to "stay in his problems", acknowleding all of this about himself is actually a huge step forward, even if outwardly he's saying "I want to stay the way I am". By telling us he was a lost cause, it feels like it's saying that he wasn't.I thought they were a good duo for the movie
>>220932333Sex
>>220932118Bitch needs to buy a vowel.
Anyone else get Pulse vibes?
>>220932347>I thought they were a good duo for the movieSame. I've seen a lot of people who don't seem to understand why Mary is even in the movie and I think it just doesn't work without her. Although, I also fully agree with everyone who wanted more found footage and more running around the Backrooms. I'd have taken another hour of just that, but I've always loved that shit about the Backrooms. Not the monsters, just the eerie exploration. The character drama paralleled with the Backrooms themselves was good stuff though.
>>220932430If there was another found footage sequence in the last third, it would've been 10/10 kino. Last third sunk the movie quite a bit for me.
>>220932430yeah I can respect that. I've argued with some people that thought the movie didn't have a plot at all and just wanted more action and exploration, and it's always that first part that kind of ruins the discussion. I'm absolutely down for the exploration and found footage, and I think I'm in the minority still liking pure analogue horror (though most of it is indeed trash), but playing into those aspects and feelings would be great, it's just that I think the movie did make a good show of tying together it's actual themes while keeping a lot of stuff vague and mysterious.>>220932451yeah I'd have been down for that. maybe even touching on poolrooms stuff without delving into wiki backrooms nonsense which spun greatly out of control as many things like that do (it's best to pick and choose what you like and discard the rest anyways).
>>220932430>>220932451Faggots think/regurgitate you can't just have people wandering around the Backrooms and it be entertaining, but there are plenty of examples in movies and TV of this exact kind of shit happening for extended periods and it being kino as fuck:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxhYHu_cNYMWhen we're talking about a Backrooms movie, that kind of shit is kinda the whole point. We don't need wall-to-wall action or drama. Obviously you need some of that, but you really want literal wall-to-wall that shit. Hell, there are kino episodes of the fucking Twilight Zone where shit like this goes on for much longer.
>>220924596This. It was way too soon for trauma crap. It could've been just simple exploration of the unknown.
>>220932618Just watch Stalker, bro.
>>220932594My ideal Backrooms movie is a very slow, like Tarkovsky slow, found footage style movie where they explore the Backrooms and things become increasingly more surreal. In my head canon, the Backrooms are also a sort of cosmic entity so there is no explanation to them and you just continue to wander them slowly descending into madness.Speaking of that last part, I didn't like how the movie timeskipped Clark's descent into madness. It just kind of happens.
>>220932451>>220932594At minimum, I think the drama was well done, well written, well acted, etc. The real sticking point is the ratio of things. We got like 2:1 Drama to Backrooms, and if it were the other way around, and the movie were a big longer, we could have had a very good script attached to a lot of extended found footage and exploration scenes so everyone leaves happy.
>>220932632>Speaking of that last part, I didn't like how the movie timeskipped Clark's descent into madness. It just kind of happens.as someone that really enjoyed the movie we got, this is a big complaint for me. I "like" how they make the time clark has been down there an unknown, but overall I think it was less ideal how it was handled.
>>220932662>>220932632I feel the same way about the Clark timeskip. But at the same time that's part of Parsons's creative direction fingerprint. He revels in those shared reveals where the audience and a character notice something at the exact same time. And it works really well for the found footage stuff. But yeah... For drama it does get a little uncanny when you jump-cut several weeks of character arc.
>>220932632Agree, and we really got gyped with the girl being trapped behind the wall. It's not like something like that isn't a place where a scene might get cut, but we just didn't have enough before we got to that.It's like if you were playing a Backrooms game and you walked through like five rooms before encountering your first entity. Totally misses the point, where the probabilities are telling you that the Backrooms are just overflowing with entities. Might as well be playing Doom.>>220932639Same reason you don't want to stuff a Tomb Raider game with too many animals/enemies. There's a sweet spot ratio for that too.
>>220932776I wonder if his original plan was to make it all or at least mostly found footage but he got push back from higher ups.
>>220929906Money duh.So they can keep leeching off of them, can't do that when you fix them in one session
>>220932430I think the movie needed a 3rd character, maybe a friend or significant other of Marys for clark to kill/sacrifice to pirate clark. It would further cement his madness and unequivocally show he is more dedicated to the backrooms than real life
>>220924588This kind of arrogance disappears quick once you try to actually make something yourself. Not that you ever, ever will.
>>220932822>>220929906another answer to consider, is that people don't handle the truth well. A lot of people get extremely defensive of direct criticism of their actions and just shut themselves off. A lot of people when they come to you asking your opinion, aren't actually asking for your opinion, they are looking to be praised.
>>220932819I honestly think he made the movie he wanted to make out of the script at least. He obviously wasn't super familiar with silverscreen dramaslop and that was probably his sincere shot at it and I think he genuinely enjoyed making it.Cap'n Clark is all him. Major Rolling Giant vibes with that thing. It's so fucking silly and stupid when you look back at it, and yet, in the moment, it was genuinely terrifying. And I just love that uncanny, confused, expression on its face. I know a lot of purists wanted a bacteria monster, but I love the Cap'n more with each passing day since seeing it.
>i've been around some creepy rooms for a while so now I'm going to act crazy and murder womengenuinely don't get it. The woman actor was terrible also.The actual Backrooms parts were enjoyable. 6/10 movie.
I'm reading posts on reddit and people keep mentioning bacteria and entities. What are either of those? I'm not familiar with the series which is where I'm assuming those terms come from.
>>220932819I wondered the same thing. Seems plausible you'd get some pushback from fags who didn't 'get it', but since 'Wonderboy' is taking all the credit after it succeeded, I guess we'll never know for sure. I can also imagine him doing this and thinking it was a great idea mostly off his own back.
>>220932864the movie didn't convey it well, but it was implied some time had passed and he succumbed to madness.
>>220924577Why did you fags tell me to watch it? It pulls the rug under you and makes the psychiatrist (from psycho) the main hero in the last half, and she was such a shit character. "I'll tell you everything you want~" "IT'S YOUR FAULT YOU HAVE TO PAY ALIMONY"
>>220932864>The woman actor was terrible also.Weak bait. Renate is the best part about the movie.
>>220932904>the movie didn't convey it wellI've seen this a lot, but the movie shows both the moldy food and all the stacked up mail at the front door. I don't know how much clearer you could get without a SpongeBob title card.
>>220932904I get that I just think it's insanely stupid and about the least interesting direction you can take. I was already into the movie, did NOT need a therapyslop change in directionThe woman bashing the monster with the rock from her childhood genuinely was hilarious though. Screenwriting 101 shit (which I don't even say insultingly, the man got a movie out and I didn't. Good for him. It's just very amateurish to the point of being hilarious)
>>220932881Prevailing theory on entity(or entities) encountered in Found Footage 1, Pitfalls and Found Footage 2 are that they are some kind of hyper-evolved bacterial culture. >>220932904He actually did a lot of weird cryptic time bullshit in the movie. You have to look for some of it. But that's a faithful carryover from the web series. (Cryptic timeline fuckery)
>>220932916Big jaw mid who you could have replaced with any random bitch off the street and got as good if not better result. I hate this boring cunt is going to get USI out of this movie succeeding.
>>220933000her jaw is sexy. I want her to bite me.
>>220933014>Backrooms 2 is rated NC17 and starts with multiple erotic vore scenes featuring still-life Mary.I'd buy a ticket.
>>220933000I have nothing against her but she was awful in this. It was actually almost refreshing though, these days, even indie cheap movies have pretty good acting. Reminds me of watching crap movies in the past, in a way.Acting is one of the few things that's just better these days in general, the opposite of lighting.
Where the fuck was almond milk?
>>220933000It's ok to be gay. >>220933014Based
>>220932937Missing the point. We wanted to see his actual dissent into madness to some degree. Not just go from relative normalfag to total schizo in 3.2 seconds.
>>220933038woah anon, I don't want her to eat me. I want her to bite me. I need to be alive so she can bite me again later.I wont begrudge you your pleasures though. My taste is simply somewhat different than yours.
>>220933041Her spoken acting was really mid but I thought where she shone was when there was no words to be said. She was good with her face if you know what I mean.
>>220933055I agree with that (I'm >>220932632). I'm talking about the people who say that the passing of time was made unclear because I've seen a lot of people think that Mary found Clark the day of but the movie makes it explicitly clear that that is not the case.
>>220933050That pic isn't making your case. She's a pretty rough looking bitch with no interesting features, only features that detract. Also doesn't know how to pose worth a damn. Exactly the kind of shit I'm talking about.
>>220933094I think it's pretty easy to interpret the mail under the door as just how long it's been in general, not how long has been since the scene before he turns schizoI personally didn't have this problem though and don't give a shit. But I can totally see how people think it's still same day.
Now that a few days have passed my twitter bubble is exploding with people gushing, discussing, making artwort and edits and having backrooms derangement and posting random IRL places.
>>220933139I honestly thought the movie was really mid, borderlind bad, with some really good segments (the backrooms parts, which is what the movie needed to nail)Honestly feels like people are just desperate for anything vaguely new and different, which I am 100% sympathetic with
How do I find Backrooms-esque places in cities close to me to explore?
>>220933094>>220933121Bro had a couple days or weeks of mail stuck in the store's entrance door, there was a timeskip IRL and who knows to how much time inside the chudrooms that translates to.
>>220933121NTA but I feel like the reason Parsons hid Clark's descent into madness arc was because he wanted the viewer to go into the reveal assuming that Clark was dead. My autism kind of ruined that for me though because I could distinctly remember lines from the promo material that hadn't been delivered yet. So I knew she was going to find Clark alive despite the entity catching him. I guess there was still some mystery in "Okay how the hell is Clark going to be alive to deliver those lines?" but yeah I would have rather some Clark development slipped into that Mary's mommy issues montage that covered the timeskip. But I'm not the one being hired by a major film studio as a director so what do I know?
I don't think you needed a "THREE WEEKS LATER" or whatever but having some cool timelapse shots of creepy backroom areas would have done the job and kept the mood, and told you that time was passing in the backrooms.
>>220924577The things we still haven't seen in the series:>more of hay bacilus mutation and Bacteria lifeforms (theorized that people that die in there turn into bacteria monsters, not to be confused with the still life monsters we see in the movie).>What is the green energy we see in overflow and found footage 2 (seems to go hand in hand with bacteria).>What happened with Peter Tench (the guy that travelled in time, Async said he died while escaping after living inside the backrooms for a while, but the scenes at the end suggest he didn't die and that was planning something big).>More poolrooms and other locations that aren't the yellow rooms, like the red city/neighborhood>Definitely more from the perspective of Async employees.
What would Mary's entity look like?
>>220925839this would be kino though
>>220924577I liked this more than I thought I would. Should I check out his YT series?
>>220933302the tone is somewhat different since it focuses more heavily on the found footage and doesn't have the dramatic aspects, but I'd still recommend it.
>>220933343>focuses more heavily on the found footage and doesn't have the dramatic aspectsThis is literally what I wanted from the movie.
>>220933250Thats what the 2 weeks of accumulated mail was for
>>220933302Yeshttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmHXfdNxYo4tsSCT4Cj6gPNe7ysXxrFtvAnd if you get into it there are a number of popular copycat channels that take after Kane's interpretation rather than the wiki bullshit and take made some really nice exploration videos.
>NOOO CAPTAIN CLARK PLEASE DON'T EAT ME, I'LL SUCK YOUR DICK I'LL EAT YOUR SHIT>AAAAACK!
>>220933439It was just good bussiness
>>220933547I wanted him to sell the free furniture and save his bussiness
>>220933702And customers keep complaining because it sunk into their living room floor.
>>220933547SOVL
Some faggot talking about good opening lines for books was talking about how this is a good set up:>The last man on Earth is sitting in a room, there's a knock on the door.But this one is better:>The last man on Earth is sitting in a room, there's a LOCK on the door.The first one raises some questions and piques curiosity, the second one does it more.That's what you really want from the Backrooms, that kind of simplicity, and creepiness. It's about unanswered questions, a lot of possibilities, but a lack of logical conclusions.
>>220933547>>220933702the free funiture is probably worse than the crappy stuff he was actually selling,we see him try and pick up a chair only for it to be fused with a second chair and the rest of the funiture and shit we see is like weirdly elongated and fused halfway into the floor.its also probably covered in superaids fungus too.
>>220933987Hire cameraboy to hacksaw chairs apart, get his girlfriend to clean off the Backroom AIDS fungus.
