The original 4chan post is about a guy who noclips everywhere and is only scared of the backrooms. So it's more about the 4chan post than the movie.

>>221250801
It's more like Liminal Spaces depend on intrusive horror thoughts that people in the 80's would consider unworthy of making a film about.
Take for example, when you're a child out with your parents while they antique and you see an old creepy oriental mask or something.

It would be a scary memory as a kid but silly as an adult. A normal writer with such an experience may implement a horrific mask into a greater story, but he'd never indulge some simplistic childish nightmare about the mask just chasing him around.

Kane Parsons seems to focus on that element, especially in his short film "The Rolling Giant". Literally "That art piece looks creepy, what if you were in a liminal version of this mall and it chased you around!"
It's the pure indulgence of irrational horror, ignoring all expectations of previous horror films to follow classic monster movie tropes.

No we aren't going to turn the antique Chinese mask into some story about an ancient Chinese wizard who enchanted the mask so he could steal blood from virgin teenagers. The mask will just straight up hover around in a liminal space with no explanation just like your childhood self imagined.

There are only a few films that really capture this from past. Poltergeist with the Clown and Tree especially, and House(the Japanese one).

Old horror monsters reflected the real life horrors of the time, which were mostly old white men running around being serial killers. The horrors plaguing society today can't be used as the basis of horror films because everyone would call you racist or a chud.

The incel was the horror icon in Obsession. And rightfully so, incels are society's greatest threat and need to be raped and killed.

Those words don't actually mean anything and don't make the backrooms any "scarier". You really sound like a pretentious retard, like those faggots who pretend that they're deeply into Blood Meridian when they've only watched that 3 hour documentary from the Wendifaggot.

I was literally describing the backrooms. Infinite and a poor copy is exactly what it is. Unlike the original picture that only described the old horror icons.

And that still doesn't make them any scarier. Because overall they still boil down to just being empty hallrooms with grandma's wallpapers that just don't have an exit. It's the equivalent of being locked in an empty room by someone and waiting to starve to death, except the latter can actually happen to someone irl so it's actually scarier.
How are you too retarded to comprehend that?

Great post, but you’ve convinced me that we should subtract movies down to their most elemental forms. I now want a first person found footage (from a go pro) horror film of an individual trapped in a MYSTlike being chased by a low poly Chinese mask. Him and the mask are the only two things that move.

I demand this kino, and hereby release my rights to it. Release it, and I’ll even pay for the privilege of seeing my own idea filmed. That’s right, I’m a filthy little pay pig! You know what, this post has veered off course by a few degrees.

Nightmare on Elmstreet, despite being a franchise about a supernatural child murderer, distances itself significantly from the idea that Freddy Kruger is a pedophile.
Like there isn't even the slightest implication of molestation which shows like L&O SVU are allowed to suggest.

It's just "I had a rough childhood, I'm the son of some random mentally ill man from a psych ward and I'm married to a woman and have a daughter but OMG the urge to Killoooom!" [Cuts to random little girl he kidnaps and hides in the steel mill her works at planning i just butcher her with the finger knives.]

Was Wes being a pussy? Probably; but maybe he shouldn't have tried to make a charismatic, punch-liney villain with a cool power concept suggestive of being a pedo to begin with.
Hell, there was ample time for a plot twist that he was falsely accused the entire time.

yeah, "child serial killer" but he didn't rape em' good one hollywood kek gotta distance themselves from the rape part but murder is ight
I never liked the premise of horror movies where some lame criminal gets to come back from the dead with evil powers (except childs play cuz it's hilarious with the twist that he comes back as a gay fucking doll and is pissed about it) or when a good or neutral person is murdered so they come back as a vengeful spirit to just fuck up and murder random innocent people...
freddy and jason never appealed to me mostly because the people who raved about that shit were comic book nerds

>>221251896
>Were comic book nerds
I hear you, The second Hellraiser is basically capeshit slop.
The 80's-90s just wanted weird murderous/monstrous anti-heroes for people to glorify rather than actual horrific concepts, as evident by every Puppet Master after 4.
>Aaah Save me Blade-sama, even though you slaughtered all those innocent people you are the only Puppet Master who defeat the eviler and more murderous TOTEM demons!

>Child serial killer that didn't rape
Yeah the removal of the sex part that is pivitol to IRL serial killers who basically dry hump women while they kill them until they cream their pants is absent in slasher films. Jason is just a retard listening to his mom who is just a roastie, Michel is just an anomaly or something. Where's the rape?

>>221251929
I wanna say the 4th but maybe the third?

>I will consume the movie as it is, and not lucid dream or induce hypnagogic half awake half asleep imaginations of myself in the setting of that movie later on by using various experimental methods of making myself insane
Your loss normie. The felt presence of some silly guy in a freddy suit or clown costume is not as scary, as thinking people are in your apartment fucking with you for real and reality as you know it cannot be trusted at face value.

>>221251288
No, it was supposed to make me feel a familiar dull ache in my torso, and it worked. I am not loved, desired or missed. I am surplus man.

>>221252022
Of course, the first Hellraiser is an excellent premise.
The problem is autistic writers didn't understand the dual horror concept of the cenobites being more of a force than a villain while having a terrible ex-victim of them be the primary villain.

They're like "I want to see muh Pinhead do a good guy thing against the new BIG BAD ultimate chosen cenobite GOD "The Doktor!" :o"

Maybe people who don't "get" the backrooms have a less active top down visual and spatial threat anticipation. So they can't imagine anything past the literal room they see. They probably watched the movie, and saw a picture of the backrooms, and that's as far as they got. It's like playing minecraft and finding it boring because it's just place outside with blocks.

there are multiple versions of Stephen King's "Trucks"
Maximum Overdrive is the theatrical version and not terrible
but the made for TV 1997 "Trucks" is best, for featuring a hilarious scene where a mailman gets murdered by a tonka truck
