nightmare fuel... he moves very slowly but you still can't get away.backrooms is well-baked horror-noir
>>221058880its certainly noir
>>221058880anyone got a webm of this monstrosity?
>>221058880ug lee
>>221058880What do we think of the theory he only ate the black guy because the therapist imprinted her belief he ate people on him?
>>221058880>picks Clark up like it was nothing>the middle aged psychologist aunt breaks his leg, then breaks his facethat was the only fault, should have let the hazmas save her and subdue him or something instead of breaking his face
>>221058920Parsons’ interpretation of the backrooms is that they’re a physical manifestation of the Jungian map of the human psyche, so Amongus could’ve been killed by anything from his own personal neuroses to a cultural memory of some primordial enemy of man.
>>221058880
>>221059089FLUORESCENT LIGHTS IM GOING INSANE
I liked the weird fungus tree thing better.Zoomers need to stop taking A24 deals, because they just sanitize their ideas.
>>221058942anon, do you not require oxygen?
>>221058880Good to see a Richard Pryor cameo
>>221058880This shit was hilarious. Arguably even goofier than the squiggly line monster from the youtube videos.
>>221059126>ARR MY STORE IS OPEN BUT NO ONES HERE
>>221058880Why does he wear the hat?
>>221059388he's a big guy
>>221059034
>>221059003only explanation is that Clark wanted to die
>>221059034Zamn no wonder midwits love this shit
>>221058954I think he ate him because he was eating them. Captain Clark’s just an imperfect “memory” of the protagonist, and he mimics his behaviors imperfectly. The creepiest part to me is how it *doesn’t* seem to want to eat the therapist. The look on its face is sort of beseeching, like it’s absorbed his desire for help but, like everything else in there, it’s jumbled up and poorly manifested.
>>221059192KEK
>>221058880Zoomers are fucking weird, man.Why do places that are quiet and not filled wall to wall with people freak them out so much? It's fucking bonkers.
>>221059685They grew up with constant stimulation throughout their lives. I've been using the internet a lot more often and my attention span is going to shit too. It must be extra hard if that has happened throughout your entire life.
>>221059719>throughout life>throughout lifeman I need to proofread my shitposts
>>221059658when he catches up to her and climbs on top of her he doesn't really do anything to harm her
>>221059034My biggest criticism was the production design. I understand where he got his imagery, but it doesn’t really match his interpretation well. If I understand his angle of attack, he’s approaching the backrooms as if they’re a manifestation of people’s own memories, fears, etc., and it only “generates” its features once someone enters. It also seemed like the farther from your entrance you travel, the more jumbled and disordered things become, Al so like your personal sphere of consciousness/perception follows some sort of inverse square law. If that’s what he was going for, he should have borrowed imagery from the earlier days of Ai imagery when it was producing Dali-esque amalgams of incongruous things.
>>221059781Yes, that’s exactly what I mean.
>>221059685
>>221058880>I understand why Kash Patel chased that terrified white woman, but why did he eat that black guy?Also, we are shown that the stilllifes don’t feel pain or fear- but the redhead wife ran away in terror from the still life Clark- because it’s a reflection of reality- was Clark beating his wife?
>>221059685It's kind of funny that rural zoomers are also deathly afraid of cities.It's almost like nobody experiences anything anymore outside of what the internet tells them to be afraid of.
>>221059791It's okay as a first movie but it takes a lot of the mystery away, obviously. It's far creepier if these backrooms are not just human memories that get autogenerated. Now the whole backrooms mystery is essentially solved. Sure they can try and figure out what physics could possibly be involved in generating all this stuff but they better come up with a creepy entity that is behind all this that uses this stuff like a spider to trap people.
>>221059658did you fail college and turn to shilling or what
>>221059126Is he firin up his lazors
>>221058954It's just depicting Clark getting devoured by his own demons in the most literal and hacky way possible. Not that it wasn't fun.
>>221059034Retard you can see the shape of pirate clark in the opening scene. It's obvious that was the entity that killed him not some pseud shit like you're implying.
>>221059089>ZAMN!
>>221058880What if you just brought a flame thrower to backrooms. GG
>>221060592bro what if you set off a nuke in the backrooms
He's the champ
>>221060034>randomly mentioning Kash PatelSo you're MIGA with buyer's remorse or what?
>>221058880They should have used Osaka instead
>>221059791It doesn't generate it degrades. The farther you get from a memory the less details you get correctly. I bet after some point the horrors won't resemble the original at all, it's not a spectrum if you just happen to remember something wrong it degrades the copy.
>>221060777speed racer more like tequila racer LOL
>>221058880>this guy walks up to you and asks why everything is locked up but the sunscreenhow do you respond?
>>221058880CAN YOU HAVE SEX WITH THESE CREATURES?
>>221058880You can get away, since people can apparently enter and leave the backrooms whenever they want.
He's very respected
>horror is a place absent of beings or people>quick put a monster in there
>>221058880hey man, job applications cant even move and yet that shit terrifies /tv/
>>221060976HANTA CRUISE
>>221060976MEET N FUCK, HARV
>>221060976
>>221061165IM LOOKING FOR RICK GRIMES. I MUST CLEAN
>>221060104There's something weirdly narcissistic about this latent need in horror to make it about the human experience. The existence of a thing truly alien and unknowable is way freakier than muh trauma manifesting dark shadow people.
>Dr. Mary's character "arc" is half-baked and seems to exist only to justify that shot of her house descending through different iterations>Beyond the first therapy scene, Clark's treatment as an alcoholic with anger/interpersonal issues is at first so mild that it borders on unconvincing, only to change so dramatically off-screen that the result is narratively jarring>Side characters underutilized; how many minutes of screen time do they even have? Not a problem in itself, but I feel like there were some wasted opportunities here>Just me nitpicking, but I feel like it could've been so much "spookier." The best part of the movie was the found footage stuff with Clark, the assistant manager, and her boyfriend, and that lasted all of like seven or eight minutes it felt like
>>221059791Yes, but to my understanding is there were other rooms existing there by default. Over time the portals into the real world started pulling in memories from its surrounding, and the backrooms tried copying what it was being fed. Kind of like in the movie those yellow rooms existed but they were being altered and having her memories alter them.> If that’s what he was going for, he should have borrowed imagery from the earlier days of Ai imagery when it was producing Dali-esque amalgams of incongruous things.I think that was likely what he was trying to mirror, like those This ____ Does Not Exist websites that AI generate faces, cats, etc. and sometimes make nightmare fuel in doing so. Just like how AI takes in media to recreate something, the Backroms takes in memories to recreate something. Then that leads to nightmare fuel in there.
>>221061280The entire movie should've been about his two employees discovering the place one night and getting stuck in there.
>>221058880is it gud?
>>221061386Yeah it's breddy gud
>>221060512Maybe that guy at the beginning was really scared of pirates. You don’t know >:(
>>221061386No, it just ends up being another one of those mental health movies about an alcoholic black guy that got divorced and his shitty therapist. It all falls apart in the third act too since it seems like the co-writer took over at the last minute without reading the rest first or something.
>>221061357Nah it should have been about them falling in love
>>221060034>was Clark beating his wife?With his propensity for drunkenness and violent outbursts I could definitely see it
>>221061280I was really surprised how little screentime the Mark Duplass character actually had. Obviously Async as a whole was sidelined for the movie but his one big scene was much shorter than I expected from the spoilers I had heard. In retrospect I think the way it transitioned into the end montage was actually pretty neat thematically (his obsessive one-on-one rambling brings Mary back into her element as a therapist), but it was still pretty weird to watch as it happened.
I liked the songhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDCIdAGzhG0
>>221061473I am just surprised they cast anyone as director Philip R. Heymann. I didn't expect to see any of Async's higher ups in the film.
Why did you fags try to convince me Exit 8 was better than BASEDrooms? Exit Gaped was the inferior flick in literally conceivable way. I’m ashamed of myself for having sat through the entire thing.
>>221061576really glad to hear this ....I was gonna play it right now, that's fucking freaky
>>221061280>Just me nitpicking, but I feel like it could've been so much "spookier."Not a nitpick at all, it could’ve been a lot spookier than it was.
>>221061599It’s a fine film. Not great, but still worth watching. A lot of interesting visual elements.
>welcome to the mysterious backrooms>yeah it's just silent hill but well lighted and no monsters or good music>what do you mean you don't like it unc!!!!!
>>221061636>well lightedWhat?
>>221058880But why does it hunger for human flesh?
>>221061650fluorescent bright lights
>>221058954What did the beings Clark was eating taste like?
>>221061773Considering it's all based on memory and what people have been told, probably chicken. But in Clark's case, fried chicken.
>>221061773meringue probably maybe each person had a unique flavour
>>221061817
>>221061824I'd eat your still life.
>>221061773Pork rinds
what if you start a fire in the backrooms? or flood it? can you drain the earth’s oceans into it?
>>221058880Why is he dressed like a pirate? Candle cove?
>>221061704We've seen Mary's memory room turn from realistic to abstract in steps.The still life people likewise probably get reduced to only basic urges. Clark had anger issues so his abstracted still life creature is really aggressive.
>>221061817>villains that did nothing wrong
>>221061824>>221061817>>221061773cheesecake. look like cheesecake
>>221058920There's 2 types of monsters. The "Still life" who are the fucked up versions of humans, and then the "The Lifeform" which is the black mold/bacteria monster that kills the 2 store workers.
>>221059130"The Lifeform" fungus/bacteria monster is what killed the 2 store workers, and its thought that the potentially might do a sequel movie or tv series, where it's more prominent.
>>221060852Don't they even explicitly show this with the camera going deeper and deeper, with the Therapists childhood home getting more and more distorted and less recognizable each level.
>>221062464can you have sex with them
>>221062575Well they are based on distorted memories, so maybe if that's an important part of your memory of them.
>>221062627he could eat them. made me wonder if he could fuck them
>>221062627I find it weird that this is just what a random mentally ill black man says he thinks it is. His “understanding” of the Backrooms is immediately shattered when he gets killed by the still life he claimed to understand. Yet people like you and so many casuals just take his word for it. “Yep, this random nigger discovered the truth”I don’t think so
>>221061650its like darkness, but you can see
/tv/ always acts like horror is supposed to make you piss yourself but I haven't been scared by a movie since I was 16 or something, I just like horror shit for the vibes and I assume that most adults feel the same way
>>221062737what movies did scare you back then
>>221062719They visually show you Mary's room get distorted through multiple iterations of the room getting progressively warped. It could not be any more clear but here you are like a total retard arguing it.
>>221062783plus literally the pirate guy and his wife are there with him......the distorted wife
>>221062779Rec was the last movie to actually scare me, first (properly horror) one was Saw 2 but I was 12
This entire sequence was the highlight, I wish they had more of this in the movie. Felt really trippy.
>>221061773drywall
I watched the movie yesterday and thought it was 5/10 at best. I wanted to see more backrooms not personal drama.
>HELL NAH SON TS TUFF ASL NGL >ADD SOME MONSTERS BRUH>ONG BRUH>NOW TS BUSSIN FR FR >YOU DON'T LIKE IT UNC?HELL NAH
>>221061351I’d love someone to take a crack at showing it break out into non-Euclidean structures and so forth. I also feel like someone needs to drive home that “doors” into there don’t necessarily have to spawn in walls. On either side.
>>221059089>>221059126>>221060777>>221060976>>221061203fucking KEK!!!!csan we pls make this a meme?
NO PLEASE, DON'T SUCK MULTIPLE DICKS AT ONCE, ANYTHING BUT THAT
this nigga on ozempic
>>221058880I reckon the pirate was the first human replicant then all the others started forming. Because a pirate is part man part furniture, his leg.
>>221063626whole movie shouldve been like blair witch
>>221064734multiple mouths you know what that meansmultiple vaginas
On paper I like the concept but the aesthetic is so bland and boring the whole thing just doesn't hit for me. I know it's kind of the point but blech its just yuck shit to look at for 2 hours
>>221059685Honestly even being transported to somewhere like the backrooms, other than missing my dog, would be a fucking dream for me. I try everything to isolate myself but it's fucking impossible
>>221065799You don't want to be isolated in something like the backrooms presented here.
>>221058880Why did they punish Clark with death? None of the things he has done are that bad so why are they punching down on him?I'm genuinely asking this, the movie feels like a blackpill for people like him.
>>221058880He just looked too goofy for me to be afraid of it. His face should've been more deformed and malevolent-looking.
>>221065863Maybe not because it's partially going for the "full of monsters xd almond water" but the "original" where it's mostly empty, yeah
>>221065931That's part of it. Some of these monsters are deformed goofy mascot like characters with bulbous features. He got a bit of this from his Rolling Giant thing in the dead mall backrooms video he made I'm sure.
>>221065931I wish he lost his hat early on. I wish his head was deformed.
>>221058880Is this from the netflix remake of crank 2?
>>221061386It was alright. Nothing wow'd me but i also didnt understand the hype of Longlegs or Weapons either.
>>221065972mostly empty other than for mysteryous entities gangstalking you, plus the otherall atmosphere is nauseating
>>221065931I think it would've been more interesting its face kept changing shape instead of looking like a low budget horror movie mask. The closer it gets to a human, the more its mouth and eyelids keep drooping downwards and the more unsettling the vocalizations start sounding. Of course this would make it necessary for the other entities to also have similar behavior, but I think it would be doable. Just make all the entities' faces shift around a bit. Use compressed air, electric motors or CGI.
>>221066364>Mysterious entities gangstalking youThat already happens, or at least used to, now it's only plain old normal people, I miss the bizarre entities
>>221068263that shit works best in literature, it would take a director much more talented than a youtuber kid to properly translate that vibe into movie form
If an eight foot tall giga nigga was chasing me, trying to eat me, I'd be scared.
>>221060208>the most literal and hacky way it was SO literal that it actually wasn't hacky. like, the movie had to do a LOT of work to earn the situation where it could happen, and it wound up being original in the process.
>>221061937>what if you start a fire in the backrooms?Doesn't a car explode in the backrooms in the youtube series and it does nothing? Doesn't look like a particularly flammable place.>floodingDoesn't it being an infinite space imply that it can't truly be flooded in any real way?
>>221060034maybe it reflects that Clarke would have *preferred* if his wife had been scared of him.
>>221065928>Why did they punish Clark with death?You're looking at this from a psychological way where the Backrooms is trying to make Clark better himself and punish him when he doesn't.It's not a punishment, Clark was just being retarded and delusional thinking he understood the backrooms on a deeper lever, that's what got him killed, not his trauma, even if it's used thematically during the scene.
>>221061386A solid 8/10. Great atmosphere and acting, but the writing kind of muddles itself near the end.
>>221065928It wasnt punishment, it was his reward. He choose not to work on his issues and instead retreated (literally) into his own headspace. His stubborn refusal to change ended up consuming him, again, quite literally
>>221065799Nigga just turn off your phone and get out of your parents house.
>>221069112>>221065928the only plausible link between Calvin dying and what was happening is that Calvin owning his behavior by saying he "doesn't want to change" was too much of a breakthrough for the pirate. i.e. it's more likely that Calvin died because he started to improve, not because he was being punished.
>>221069269Calvin?
>>221064734????Where would the pelvises go?That's the biggest barrier to a normal woman sucking >2 cocks.Like a normal mouth's max diameter could easily fit four or five cocks on their own, but cocks are attached to a while dude.
>>221069336Calvin Clarke
>>221069269Brb putting these all over the backrooms to make them less spooky
>>221058880I can’t be the only one who absolutely hated that third act. Ruined the movie for me
>>221068434Yeah but I was talking about real life
>>221071093Real what?
>>221071472Huh
>>221060074Fear of cities is more justified because you never know if some junkie or nog will attack you randomly
>>221069476this, only I loved it and it made the movie for me.particularly Renate handling of her character's 180 in the dinner scene.
>>221071523>her character's 180 in the dinner scene.I liked that too. A lesser movie would have the heroine or whatever try to save the guy but she instantly does the smart thing and rightfully abandons that lunatic, opting instead to prolong her own life.
