I don't watch a lot of his interviews but the couple that I've seen you can tell that A24 has coached him well when dealing with troll faggot tier reporters because he simply goes dead silent and doesn't even answer the question when they ask him something stupid.

>>221167273
try watching Exit 8 instead, I think that one did the theme justice better
20 year old Kane Parson shot himself in the foot with the whole "reflection of mental issues" angle.

>>221167273
probably the worst film ive watched this year. unironically. it's nothing happens: the movie. it felt rushed and stupid.

>>221167273
the youtube videos are far better than the movie, kinda scary too. the movie almost captured the horror of the youtube videos in the first half but then went off the rails in the third act by spoonfeeding you and explaining everything about what’s happening. Hated the movie. Regret seeing it in theatres

>>221167273
It's Blair witch project for zoomers.

>>221167860
so you're admitting that this is only scary to zoomers because they have a deep existential dread of aging out?

The still lifes in the movie ruined it for me, there were just too many when Clark's one or maybe one other, they should be super rare and we never even saw them in the youtube series apart from one making it effective, meanwhile they seem to be everywhere in the movie that clark can make a little family of em

>>221167273
I watched it this weekend and found it very mediocre and overhyped. Its also clear from watching it that the 20 year old youtuber did NOT direct this movie and that this news was nothing more than a marketing gimmick. From the writing and camera work and editing, its very clearly done by a team of hollywood tradesmen and Im sure this kid did nothing more than sit on set and play director, his biggest contribution giving them a rough outline of what the whole thing was supposed to be like.

Also, its not really scary or even that eerie, its just kind of boring. Its clear to me that zoomers are so fried from being the first generation of ipad babbies that they consider a quiet boring room to be horror.

>>221167273
Wouldn't it be racist to think that looks scary?

Having a bunch of little rape jews scurrying around back there would be scary

>>221168142
This, its what I call "hypeslop" this movie is super shallow too. Its built around this aura of having this deep and extensive lore, but the movie has nothing to it and has nothing to say other than vague and tired "the real horror was mental health issues!" shit.

>>221169466
movie takes place after the youtube stuff, I took it to mean its a rapidly growing problem because too many people are getting exposed to the backrooms and its copying more and more of them

>>221169752
Ok ok you don't understand the backrooms genre... sheesh.. fuck man we get it.

>>221167273
the youtube series is straight out of my nightmares in many parts
or not nightmares, but you know those dreams with dreadful environments? those
the movie is decent, but it lacks the loneliness that’s integral to liminal spaces. it introduces some interesting elements, but it’s more of a backrooms in a nutshell type of thing.

That's called kenopsia. Either way I blame zoomers for teaching you wrong as a joke. There's some naturally occurring overlap between these two ideas.

>>221167273
The ending freaked the fuck out of me. It gave me the feeling that there's some fundamental flaw in reality that is resulting in this growing corruption, that the Backrooms are vastly larger than the ordinary universe and that eventually one day there will be nothing but Backrooms left, inhabited only by barely conscious memories of memories of memories of people.

>>221170677
/tv/ and 4chan by extension are very contrarian, which means the burden of proof for something to prove it is good is quite high but if something is genuinely good, posters here don't have a problem acknowledging it even if you see the occasional shitpost trying to farm (You)'s. Something mediocre like Backrooms doesn't pass the smell test for most anons.
Reddit by comparison is much more hiveminded by virtue of its structure. You are simply not allowed to see posts that disagree with the collective opinion, so this is not a legitimate equivalency.

I felt bad for Mary. She was seemingly a mediocre therapist but she didn't deserve to be attacked by the psycho she tried to help or get corpoed.

I took my chinese gf to see Mandalorian and Grogu saturday night and fucked her in my car afterward.
I took a skinny black girl to see Disclosure Day today and fingerfucked her in the theater during the movie.
I'm gonna text my white ex-gf tomorrow (after getting a bit drunk) and if she replies I'm gonna chat her a bit then ask her if she wants to see Backrooms with me.
I'm 32 and live with my parents, have $60k in savings but no job.
I have a job interview next week for a factory technician job but unless my white ex wants me back (and even then I dno't know if I want her back, she'd have to suck my dick a lot to outcompete the sexy chinese girl) I'm not even gonna go to the interview because I'm just done with wagecucking. I can't afford a house so there is no point to working. Simple as.

I do really want to see this movie though so even if I can't get her to go I will probably just go by myself.

>>221167273
All the backrooms crap has never been supposed to be scary nor spooky, even in its origins "liminal spaces" had more to do with feelings of dread and anxiety.

Wouldnt expect 4chan posters to like it ironically. Too much about change and being angry and stuck in life.

This. It should have ended with clarke leading her deep into the back rooms to be sacrificed to the entities then she says her stupid therapist BS and Clarke has a change of heart, he gives her the map and a short cut to escape and sacrificws himself to the entiries finally being consumed by the madness of the backrooms

It was mediocre but it was memed into popularity and made money, so good for them.

>>221170677
You have low standards, and that’s okay.

>>221169859
Were the red switches on the breaker box and lights flickering in the furniture store the first time we see the Backrooms starting to "pour into" and interacting with the real world? That was the biggest advancement in the storytelling of the overall narrative, imo.

>>221170968
>zoomies first pasta
Who cares, it originated from 4chan and the Kane Pixels world is based unlike the wiki infinity levels bullshit

The problem was that John backrooms had the ability to backtrack and go home whenever he wanted. He could explore all day, run away from whatever spooky monster, and as long as he survived, he could always leave, have some fried chicken, take a hot bath and sleep in his own bed. Hard to sell horror in that. Becoming a hermit in the backrooms later was completely voluntary.
I guess the problem was introducing more characters, but honestly, bobby and his handcam could have been on a lost poster sooner and they could have met in spooky town.

Theres a hand cam floating around. Its not very goos and I wouldnt recommend it with any other movie. But for this one, its kind of feels like found footage so its ok. Just google backrooms for free, and you'll find a google drive link on reddit.

>>221173606
It was the 80s. Nobody would have ever even went looking for them for years.

>>221174027
It took place in the 90s. Did you even watch?

A24 fucked the movie and if you listen to interviews you know it. Pseudo intellectual retards suck off the movie but it's not good and it's all down to the writing. Kane Parsons disagreed with the direction and the story and the mechanics but the movie had to be made now or it would not be made at all. He caved and this is what they went with.
The entire movie is basically A24 trying to reframe a silly internet meme as a serious thing. It's for adults to watch the movie and go ''oh, so this backrooms stuff isn't just dumb kid shit, it's about trauma and therapy? oh it's like a twilight zone episode, the stuff that I watched when I was a kid in 1960! I get it!''

>>221167273
As someone who's familiar with Kane's YouTube series, I had high hopes for the movie. But it was honestly worth a score of 6.5. First half was great. Second half fell off after the found footage moment. The therapist was given too much screen time and focus despite having no relations to the backrooms. It would've been BETTER if she had a sibling that randomly noclip there as a kid and being one of the many missing people during A-sync's experiment. Then she would have more relevance. But sadly the movie kept unnaturally focusing on her.

Also the fact that Clark could continue to walk in and out of the backrooms was disappointing. I assume his doorway wouldn't be stable and he would end up getting everyone trapped in their.
>>221174107
Most of these threads are filled with retards saying the same "zoomer scare of empty places" meme or simply think the movie is based on the wiki that kids contributed. I doubt any of them have actually take the time to watch the film or even Kane's videos.

The shoehorned mental illness and trauma metaphors ruined it.

They should have made it like The Shining and it would have been considered absolute kino. I heard the youtube web series was "actually good" (I had only seen a few vids) and man when does it get any good? I'm over half way through and there's maybe a total of 15 minutes worth of content thats almost good. It's a frustrating series constantly making me think "it would have been cool if..." instead of just making it cool/enjoyable.

I think I have figured how why liminal spaces are so unsettling.

I think it is the primitive instinct of "Do not drink the still waters". Meaning the fact that there are no other animals in a location where there clearly should be means there is danger about that is not immediately clear to the naked eye.

>zoomers created an entire genre because they don't know the word surreal

>>221178731
I hate surrealism but like the backrooms genre. Figure out that.

surrealism and liminal space/backrooms stuff is the same thing.

>surrealism and liminal space/backrooms stuff is the same thing.

>>221178833
depends on the the design, lighting, time of day etc

>>221167273
All things considered it is an okay movie. Just okay. But for a 20 year old to direct this and make it through to the end is pretty impressive, even if he had a lot of help. I think it failed to have much of an impact emotionally because he has no real life experience yet, so the whole "people repressing trauma for years" or "my wife divorced me because i am a narcissist" subplots feel flat because he has no concept of that himself. I am a gay retard though so I know nothing anyway.

I thought the movie was very good. Like as close to being great as one can get without crossing over that line.

That's perfectly fine though. Everything doesn't need to be OMG 10/10 GOATED tier for it to be worthwhile. In the current age of clickbait they like to pretend that it needs to be that way but it doesn't. In the context of everything around it the movie was solid.

I thought liminal spaces were supposed to be cool/relaxing images reminiscent of dreams and such. I had no idea zoomers thought they were scary, that's hilarious.

>>221167273
The rooms looked cozy. It's only unnerving and scary when you learn about the thing living in it. And that thing would be scary almost anywhere, like a xenomorph. Good movie. Could've been much, much weirder, though.

>>221179206
>I thought liminal spaces were supposed to be cool/relaxing images reminiscent of dreams and such


That is literally not what they are so you can be forgiven for not getting it.

>>221179206
They're just supposed to resemble something familiar but they are empty when they usually aren't.

Think I figured out why those zoomies are so scared of le empty liminal spaces

They are constantly hooked to social media 24/7 and don't have an internal monologue since they're all NPCs. Empty and abandoned spaces force them to face this truth, hence the sense of dread they experience in these spaces

>>221179308

>>221179341
Your response was eloquent in its brevity. Very thought provoking.

>>221179292
To add on to that they are supposed to be something familiar filled with people but they aren't.

The old Langoliers two part mini-series captured it perfectly. I remember watching Langoiers when it came out way back when I was younger and it was the concept of being stuck in a world that was completely empty of people that I found horrrifying and I'm pretty sure it game me bad dreams before the stupid meatballs showed up that weren't scary at all. It was the emptiness of the otherwise normal looking world that was terrifying.

Yeah langoliers did a really good job at that but it was slightly different. That was about if they were the only people left on earth or if something happened to them and they got trapped in some strange reality. Really good TV series. I guess the difference is that in langoliers everything was exactly what it was supposed to be, just out of sync. Backrooms is more of a distorted reality that looks vaguely familiar but unreal at the same time.

>>221179413
but they do, if you watch urban exploration videos they talk about their fear of stumbling on the backrooms

>>221179438
The idea of stumbling onto some alternate dimension can be pretty scary no matter the context

>>221179469
i watched a video of an abandoned mall not far from me, and the guys exploring it went deeper and deeper into it, until they were exploring what i think was the abandoned super market in the mall. Then they found the literal back rooms of the super market that connect to a back room system of the shopping mall, it just kept going on and on. Until they found a small portal opening in a wall that looked like the entrance to some sort of elevator shaft maybe. Written around the hole was graffiti like "come inside" and the guys exploring it immediately exclaimed no way its the Backrooms. Then they headed back

>>221179420
>Backrooms is more of a distorted reality that looks vaguely familiar but unreal at the same time.


The original creepypasta captures the backrooms perfectly and it had none of that. All of that other stuff was added afterwards over time. Which is fine but at its essence all of that other stuff surpurflous to what a luminal space is. All of the extra swirling stairs and stuff are simply added flavor to what a liminal space is.

>>221179540
also this was in complete darkness

>>221179540

>>221179540

sounds like a joke, and yeah that situation sounds spooky you never know if you'll stumble into a crazed crackhead or fall through the floor when fucking around in abandoned buildings

>>221179688
thats pretty much what happened yeah

>>221179540
NTA but a dark clearly abandoned spade is 'liminal adjacent" for being creepy in its own right but is not exactly what a liminal space is. A place with cobwebs, holes in the walls and peeling paint is not the direct definition of liminal.

True liminal looks maintained like it was cleaned yesterday or even this morning. But there is no one there. Like imagine going to that very same mall back when it was open during business hours at 1 O'clock on a Saturday afternoon and it wasn't a holiday but there was no one there. No customers, nobody working the cashiers, nobody. You would feel something was off. That is what a liminal space is.

>>221179752
I dont go to the mall anymore. There was a gang shootout at the food court recently.

>>221179778
Understandable. You might want to move to a better neighborhood though. For instance I saw Backrooms (kino) and Disclosure Day (it kind of sucked) at the mall down the street from where I live and it was a very nice experience both times. Even sat and had lunch there the second time around. And yes it was crowded and not liminal at all. Very nice indeed.

As a Zoomie myself I found it decent in the first half but the 3rd act could’ve been better. I didn’t really find it scary, honestly there were points I was super jealous of and wanted to be there like the poolrooms.

IMO it's better to watch this YouTube video that summarizes all of Kane's Backroom videos instead of watching each individual video.

>>221182195
Backrooms vids are something you are either into or you're not. I've sat and watched various backrooms back to back for hours at a time and a lot of them literally nothing happens except the people that got stuck in them are walking around from space to space with nothing else really happening. They usually reach a bad and bitter end though.

You are like the 9000th person to say this. I am a millennial (age 32) and I have found "liminal spaces" to have a sort of "kino" quality to them since before I ever owned a smartphone. Shut the fuck up retard.

if you put 50k down on a 300k house thats only like 1800 a month for a mortgage payment. But I agree with you, wagecucking is so soul draining it's not worth it. I'm working another year so when i hit 200k saved i'm just gonna NEET for as long as that lasts and then idk delete myself or something

both are good, with exit 8 being a more simple story

wasnt really that scary but the aesthetic and atmosphere was pretty good, my gf acted really scared during the climax which I kinda laughed at, she gets scared at whatever but this felt like a stretch

>>221184636
Exit 8 was a bit infuriating to watch for me cause i was watching it with a relative that was just straight up not looking at the screen.

>>221184906
did the relative happen to be a women?

>>221167273
You're so brave, anon.

the movie should've been longer and john blackrooms should've gone way deeper into the backrooms, like into some ultra liminal zone where the maddening buzzing sound is intense and there's mold everywhere
he should have gotten there after some insanity inducing, lonely exploration similar to the youtube series. in the movie it felt like he just ran through some movie set and ended up in some room not too far from the entry point in his furniture store. i don't feel like his mind got consumed by the backrooms. the backrooms in general feels small in the movie.

Zoomers would noclip out of reality rather than pay taxes towards my retirement and let in millions of indian tech geniuses and hard working migrants

>>221167273
It's an alright movie, the pirate thing was cool. But not a masterpiece by any stretch. I'd say Cube was more interesting with a similar premise, at least before they explained what it is in Cube Zero.

>>221174180
If anything, A24 elevated a meme concept into something more interesting by injecting psychology into it. Otherwise it's just a bunch of random stuff happening with no urgency to it.

>>221168381
>Exit 8 did the theme justice better
>Theme of the entire movie is "procreate or you're stuck in purgatory"

Bait or retardation? Plus, "reflection of mental issues" is underselling. It's about collective memory, they just shoehorned an unnecessary therapy plot into it in a failed attempt to make the audience feel something for the characters. I'd take it over a Japs telling me to have children though.

>>221168441
I'm in the same boat. It's funny because most people left thinking it made zero sense though. It literally held the viewer's hand during the dinner scene, and they were still befuddled.

watching this actually made me realize the youtube series was weaker than i remembered, as a whole. it has some really interesting parts, but the bacteria entity’s origin is boring. i also i dislike the green glow thing being how the backrooms expands. the more you try to explain the inner workings of this kind of fiction, the more it starts to become like stranger things, which was at its pesk during the first season when nobody knew about the upside down dimension or how it worked. it was genuinely unsettling.

>>221167273
I saw it and enjoyed it, but I'm not familiar with any extended lore, or even the original creepypasta.
Is it ever explained how the Backrooms came to be? Or rather, an approximate explanation, since there's no official lore

>>221182195
The Async bits are a slog, imho. You could trim the playlist down into 8 videos and basically get the whole idea (FF1, First Contact, Informational Video, Pitfalls, FF2, Reunion, Damage Control, FF3). Saves you 51 minutes of your life.

>>221188582
i think the series has overexplain-itis and i largely hate the in-depth scifi angle too, but i do also think the highs are higher than what the movie provides. found footage #3 is the best anything out of this canon has to offer. pitfalls and found footage #2 are solid as well, but flawed in places.

I specifically liked the web series this guy made because it avoided a lot of the pitfalls of zoomer horror and a lot of the pitfalls that most takes on the backrooms fell into before. The movie felt like it was going out of its way to jump headlong into all of them, and on top of that a lot of it felt very rushed. It takes like 10 minutes of movie time for the main guy to go from "I'm curious about what the hell this place is" to "Check it out Mary, I'm eating people"

>>221189562
>It takes like 10 minutes of movie time for the main guy to go from
Well thats because you missed that the guy was actually crazy since early on in the movie.
I think its intentionally supposed to be easy to miss that, but ultimately that just left a lot of viewers thinking his "descent into madness" was rushed.

>>221189660
Of course he's mentally ill from the beginning, but it's "I have some anger issues and a drinking problem" mentally ill, not anything close to how he's found later.

>>221189683
He's fucked in the head at least when he takes those other 2 down there without warning them that there's a creature down there. The girl even calls out how her boyfriend is getting sent down that slope.

Clark was using them as bait knowing how dangerous the place was.

>>221189735
I guess that's one way to read it, but it still didn't feel natural at all to me when I watched it. It also didn't make much sense from the standpoint of time, but I can chalk that up to time working differently in the backrooms

>>221179136
What? Also nice spelling retard, almost on the same level as your reading comprehension skills.

>>221189866
>but it still didn't feel natural at all to me when I watched it.
It feels like they wanted to make it overly subtle, and so it doesnt feel telegraphed properly. Like how youtube series will make things little secrets for people go decode afterwards, but I dont think it quite works as well for a movie that most people dont have on hand to disect the scenes.
>It also didn't make much sense from the standpoint of time, but I can chalk that up to time working differently in the backrooms
There's also a couple things like when he says he hasnt drank since friday, it makes us assume its only been a weekend, but it could be the following thursday, or how when he goes missing, his store has been unlocked the whole time, but its as if no one has gone inside because he gets no customers, despite it being long enough for bills to pile up
and this is foreshadowed when he films the commercial early in the movie and doesn't realize the store has been open the whole time
I feel pretty sure these things were intentional to fuck with the sense of time, but I also think it negatively affected a lot of viewers.

>>221188542
Dude I know I would get hired. I just don't give a fuck to go back to work. Wagecucking rapes my fucking testosterone, it rapes my sex drive, it gives me erectile dysfunction. I fucking hate it. As the zoomers would say, it spikes my cortisol. I'm tired of that. I try to relax and not give a fuck about work ethic prevents that, the shame of potentially getting fired prevents that.

I only got the interview so that I could tell my ex I have a job offer (because it will be a job offer) and see if she wants me back. Which she doesn't, but I need to do this for closure. She has to outcompete a chinese girl who sucks and fucks me every time we meet, so it's not like I'm going to be acting like a simp for my white ex.

>>221184470
It's more than that plus all the closing cost bullshit it just isn't worth it.

Are horror movies ever scary?
I haven't been scared from a movie since I was a child

What are the scariest movies?

>>221190443
Unironically the last time a movie scared me was Cloverfield. Just something about it felt visceral and nightmarish. I've not watched a lot of horror movies but I've seen a few, I don't even remember the names, but they just didn't scare me much. Maybe because it was with a group of online friends through Discord screenshare, so not a great atmosphere. But still, I don't feel like it'd have been that different.

>>221189683
> but it's "I have some anger issues and a drinking problem" mentally ill, not anything close to how he's found later.
>"Have you ever 5150ed anyone?"
I got the message clearly but I agree we should have seen more of him losing it. I feel like they missed an opportunity for more found footage stuff as Clark records proof for his big fucking apology.

My Friend Dahmer kinda freaked me out, though it’s not a horror movie. That scene where Jeffery Dahmer’s showing the highschool friend guy his dark empty-ass house and he nopes out of there. Tense bits are what really do it for me

Movie was underwhelming, lots of points that felt like would come back later but never did. Obviously the back rooms were never or shouldn’t have a full explanation lore dump but I thought the setting would’ve been used more effectively to explore the characters. Kind of like how the island in Lost was just a backdrop for the character or the alternative world in Alice in Borderlands.

Guy who got ROOMed in the beginning, duffel bag guy I thought would have played more into the mystery but turns out he’s just scp foundation fodder.

The Shrink having a psycho life and possible connection to the back rooms never really came into play.

They killed off the Asian and her looksmatch way too quickly

Blachitect kind of got developed but I feel his change for the amount of time we actually see him in the rooms was too abrupt, and his end was also abrupt. Guy with broken dreams finally finds a place he can be himself. I feel like the whole “liminal” space of the back rooms could have tied into transitionary points in people’s lives or some shit.

For some reason everyone thinks "schizo" is spelled how it's pronounced.
And some fucking retards, like Whatifalthist, think it's pronounced how it's spelled, and say "skizzo"

I really wanted to see what happened to Mary's character after her epiphany.

They explored that a little. The kitchen is a corrupted version of where Clark had the argument with his wife that lead to their divorce. And the interrogation room from the very last scene.

>>221198150

Not so much pozzed as all the /pol/ dwelling fags here are claiming, but more so way WAY overhyped. It was no where near as scary as normiefags are making it out to be, and pretty boring in some parts. I'm glad I pirated it.

>>221167273
This film was shockingly bad. The only things it had going for it were some interesting set design and an aura of intrigue which was rapidly exhausted. Everything else sucked. It's the first film I've seen in a while where I wanted my money back.

>>221189735
> Clark was using them as bait knowing how dangerous the place was.
Nah he was reckless but I didn’t think he wanted them harmed. He would have set the bed and rope up differently if he was using them as a lure instead of getting knocked down the slope himself

>>221167273
I dunno, extradimensional nogs living in your walls is pretty scary.

>>221167273
If you get scared by a movie, ANY MOVIE and you're over 16, there's something very wrong with you.

>>221188496
of course a faggot like you would be repelled by family

>>221199561
>Nah he was reckless but I didn’t think he wanted them harmed
He told them some variety of "its safe", despite himself fleeing from the place in fear days prior. He avoided telling them the critical information of "there's something aggressive down here" and instead talked up the wonder since he himself was somewhat disconnected at that point even.
>He would have set the bed and rope up differently if he was using them as a lure instead of getting knocked down the slope himself
They were expendables to him. That doesn't mean he intended to get them killed on the very first time he lowered one down, but he dragged them in a dangerous place without telling them any of the danger that he certainly knew about.
The bed getting pulled down I think was an oversight on his part. No one expects a wild beast to yank the cord without seeing the bait, and I don't think he really got what captain clark was yet.

>>221167273
>scary movie
No such thing unless your a woman or child.

>>221199313
No it wasn't

>>221167273
The found footage part was the scariest moment but I didn't like the final act when the therapist solely took over. As the final survivor you just know she's going to make it. Clark should've survived for longer and died right at the end, it would've made the last stretch more tense

>>221167273
It's your own fault for still paying to be disappointed op. Hollywood haven't made anything good in the past 10 years.

>>221199898
> He told them some variety of "it’s safe", despite himself fleeing from the place in fear days prior. He avoided telling them the critical information of "there's something aggressive down here"
I see that omission as reckless rather than let’s feed them to the mystery beast. His goal taking them in was to get proof to Mary that he wasn’t nuts. I think he thought they could get in and out without incident. Once Bob dies down there everything changes of course, he can’t go back to his normal life. Luring his therapist in with the phone call is malicious however

>>221200568
>I see that omission as reckless
Its more than reckless. He knows there's some kind of creature lurking around here. He actively avoids saying anything about the issue despite being constantly asked questions about this place, pretty much ignoring every question the girl asks.
Also look at how he introduces them to the place in the first place.
Hes also a serious alcoholic drinking the whiskey from the tap, but then goes cold turkey (when alcohol is one of the harshes substances in terms of your body's reaction to go cold turkey on) when he finds out about the place.

And its not necessarily about feeding them to the beast but rather having an insane disregard for their lives. When he finds this place, everything in his life takes backseat to it

>>221196321
>Probably because someone else put that divorce drama shit in. Who thinks ABT that BS at the age of 20?
A guy with divorced parents like Kane Parsons.
