>Why is a shitty unoriginal meme movie originated in 4chan being discussed here

>>220938867
we dont like black people

>>220938867
Because it started on 4chan. Anon could have been the one to capitalize on the concept. Instead it took 3 years for a zoomer to beat people to the punch and make a viral indie series, which led to a hollywood debut. It could have been (you) but it wasn't.

>>220938867

>>220938867
I fucking loathe how pop culture is entirely dictated by the terminally online now

I don't mind black people.

It's these.

I just watched it. 7/10 but I think the part where Clark's descent into madness[\spoiler] was too quick. He just chokes that bitch out immediately [\spoiler] and don't get any kind of hint how long it's been? Also the part where the bitch in red starts running after she gets scalped was hilarious.

never saw the youtube stuff, aware of the original 4chan (re)posts, and I enjoyed the backrooms movie

>>220939142
i'd give it a 7.8/10. i agree that that part happened too quickly. they should've given us a couple scenes in between with the therapist trying to call clark each day before going into the ottoman empire after a couple weeks

the woman in red running spooked me

>>220938867

not watching it and fuck anyone who does

The setting and lore are just really fucking lame.

>>220938867
I just hate horror slop aside from the Saw movies, but I'll still admit those aren't very good.

I liked it. I expected far worse from the outset and was pleasantly surprised. I actually wish it had been a little longer, the movie was just beginning to get interesting, there's a bit of a chase, and then it just sort of ends.

>>220938867

Isn't it just a monster in a maze movie where - plot twist - the protagonist is the monster? I haven't seen it but from what I know that's basically the gist of it.

>>220940037
Kind of - there's various entities in there and some/all of them are imperfect recreations just like the environments and objects are. Not just a groid going bananas.

Kane parson is a trans girl pretending who worships black cock thats why none of you wokey turfs like it

>>220939975
>I liked it. I expected far worse from the outset and was pleasantly surprised.
This. They could have made this concept that's entertaining enough for a 10 minute youtube video a lot worse. It's not perfect but it's not dogshit.

>>220939688
he's the antagonist

it's better than I thought it would be but I don't get the high praise. The video with the guy in the hazmat suit at the beginning isn't necessary, it just spoils what to expect when it should be a surprise to the viewer. Middle of the movie kind of drags, too. The climax when the therapist goes into the backrooms is the best part. Didn't like the ending with there being some lame ass corporation researching and trying to figure out what's going on. The whole thing should be a complete, unexplainable mystery.
That said, for a 20 year old making his first real movie it's a good effort and if he sticks with it he can make better stuff.

>>220941133
oh good point, so months and he's only alive from eating the shitty copies.

>>220941272
yeah it felt like it finally started getting really crazy at the end and then it's just over. Always leave them wanting more I guess.

>>220941558
yeah, he doesn't eat a copy on screen but I think it's really trying to suggest that he has been. I do think the time gap transition there was a bit weak, but after going back over it I see what they were going for.

>>220939142
He also calls her to tell her he's gone crazy, which is retarded kek.

>>220938867
Just got out of it. I liked it. I didn't love it, but my complaints are mostly minor. Why are people getting angry about it?

>>220939142
Yeah, I don't get what happened to him. He somehow made peace with malformed doppleganger, but why should that cause him to go crazy?

>>220941630
>Why are people getting angry about it?
it's connected to a segment of internet culture so people feel like they need to pick a 'side'.

>>220941605
test audiences probably asked "why did she go to the store?" and they added in the "hi therapist, I'm crazy now, bye" scene to explain it

>>220941605
I was wondering about this too. My theory is that he either found a phone in the backrooms and called her, or left the backrooms to call her.

>to tell her he's gone crazy
no I think he (or the backrooms itself) wants to bring people there. First time he goes to the backrooms he has visual proof something is not quite right with the loud noises and his frantic escape, and his reaction is to use his employees as guinea pigs to keep testing the backrooms, he was going to do the same shit to her maybe?

>>220941653
I'm not sure. If he was trapped there forever because he couldn't find his way back out it would make sense, but she didn't go very far from the entrance before finding him. I think this is the weakest part of the movie

>>220941653
what people miss I think, is that he's actually started losing it well before the skip. He brings his employees down there with him to help explore, despite knowing there's a creature of some sort down there, and was himself scared of it previously.
he was bringing his employees down there as bait and meat shields basically, because he didn't warn them at all about the dangers he had encountered. He's unhinged before a lot of people pick up on it, and seems to just give into it instead of believing in the pretense of normality during the skip.

>>220938867
I'm an incel and I love that Backrooms film. Don't speak on my behalf.

>>220938867
It's an incel movie considering it portrays women horribly, intentionally or not.

>>220941653
>He somehow made peace with malformed doppleganger, but why should that cause him to go crazy?
I don't know, wouldn't being able to talk to a monster that's a personification of your deepest fear make you go crazy? It's not exactly normal

>Clarktheory
I think the backrooms are a byproduct Clark’s proximity to an unexplained phenomena of physics that manifested his metaphorical mental landscape into literal physical reality. He expresses a generic ambition to be an architect but displays no love for beauty or intention toward function. He would value expansive scale as a measure of success. Now that it exists other characters are able to input into it and it may no longer be about him, but as an origin it all seems to filtered through Clark’s specific issues. Clark is not a victim of Async, they are a victim of him, or whatever used him to create the space.

>>220941719
That's a really good point, honestly. There wasn't even a reason for him to go back after the first time.

>>220939559
But I did. Didn't care for it.

>>220941730
Pretty sure it depicts the therapist as a horrible hypocrite as well. They were both terrible people

>>220938867
4chan exists to hate on things

>>220938898
>>220938867
Probably because A24 took a zoomer and have him full reign but if you look at the credits he had two ghost directors and a Hollywood cowriter on a project for something the zoomer didn't even create.

>>220938867
RLM are the only internet celebrities I watch and they liked it.

>>220942144
>There wasn't even a reason for him to go back after the first time.
and he apparently was so obsessed with going back into this place that he didn't drink a drop since the first time going in, as an alcoholic. Going cold turkey like that on alcohol of all things is pretty tough, so he must have been fixated on this really hard.

>>220939069
read between the lines. this is why media literacy is at an all time low these days. you probably think starship troopers was about good guys killing bugs.

its because people on here have had the backrooms meme for so long that they already had their perfect vision of what is good about it, then theres the other group that is obsessed with saying its not scary. Personally I enjoyed it so maybe don't act like its an incel opinion

>make mysandrist shit about evil masculinity, you enjoy violence, you are trapped in a cage you made yourself, im the woman character that will tell you your failures and how to be a man
>cast a nigger because wokeness
>now the movie reads as blacks are violent because they are, even in prison they enjoy violence, its a cage you made for yourself. a WHITE woman tells him his failures and how to be white

lmao. this midwit zoomer is the new honorary verhoven

>>220938867
Are you a schizophrenic by chance?

Why did the therapist have some sort of accent? She sounded like the mom in From

this movie is literally gonna beak 200m this weekend and these old men who still hail The Thing as the greatest thing ever are gonna freak

>>220939000
then you would like this movie because the black MC in the movie is literally going through endless failure and suffering and is the bad guy and dies.

I just don't like how people are pretending it's an indie movie.

>>220943011
It was written and directed by a 20-year-old amateur filmmaker for a $10 million budget.

>>220943043
With the support of Hollywood figures.
Also:
>a small loan of 10 million
Come the fuck on.

>>220943124
>a small loan of 10 million
Literally is in the context of a movie that is released in the summer and it set to go up against a six figure budget star wars movie. That is actually nothing.

So an indie with zero Hollywood connections and a completely modest family got 10 million from... who?

>>220943153
No one is saying it's a legitimate indie movie, but for that budget, it damn well could have been. A kid right out of film school could easily scrounge up $10 million from some drug dealer investor.

>>220938867
since when were "incels" the main haters of this movie? it's a movie originating from a 4chan meme directed by a completely self-made artist from youtube. if anything this is this year's incel-approved movie.

>>220938898
It is a 4chan meme created by millenials but whatever.

he stole my work

i really hate this antagonism /tv/ has. anything that comes out is either "this is making normies/woke seethe" or "this is making incels/tv seethe" and that's the extent of discourse surrounding any new release. Ask yourself how often you see a thread talking about the actual quality of a film, real discussion about what anons did or didn't like about it

the reason it did well at the box office was that it was simply a decent film for casuals of horror genre.

It was spooky, and a bit weird/odd.
A24 is like brand name in horror. Normies love their brands bro. This made a lot of older people and fans of horror give it a try.

The idea of the movie brought in a younger crowd who knew of the meme and games.

A bigger audience draw and that audience could handle the film. That is why it did well.

>>220941272

For me the movie is missing a critical scene where the Backrooms provides something for Clark. For example in the shinning Jack has Lloyd the bartender. He is there with a free drink and a welcome ear to tell him he is totally sane and its his family thats the problem. He also has Mr. Grady the old inkeeper to befriend him too.

The Backrooms needed to do something for clark like give him a never ending supply of free furniture or give him some rooms for him to larp as a master arxhitect.

We needed a scene to show what that "beauty" that clark saw in the backrooms really was.

>>220943144
10 million is low budget for a movie

1-2 million is microbudget tier anything 5-20 million is low budget
