Ur getting hated on but I agree. The backrooms is scary as a concept, but would be boring as a movie and a game. In a game you’re just wandering with something chasing you. In a movie you’re just watching someone else wander with a monster chasing them. I think the backrooms would be the best told through a book because you can actually put yourself in someone else’s skin.
Usually I'd agree with you but I'm kinda excited for the movie because Kane Parsons the guy who made the backrooms short films on YouTube is the same guy making the actual movie. The short films are incredibly well made and thought out for it being made by basically one guy.
I'm curious to see how fleshed out the universe gets with the budget and resources A24 has provided him. Dude literally turned a 4chan post and a bunch of random liminal spaces imagery into a cohesive and compelling plot.
Sure but this is so lowbrow it's not even funny, one post is just calling him a scary monster same with the fire detector chirp joke that's been run into the ground, super original stuff here. They might as well just call him the n word over and over(which I'm sure they did). If it's going to be offensive it should at least have a good punch line.

Isn’t this movie spawned from a 4chan post? Is the irony intentional
MightyTurianEmpire@reddit
yeah, i think they credited the guy in the trailer which i thought was nice

I’m really tired of these gimmicky horror movies that rely on strange plots as opposed to interesting characters and good writing.

So like 95% of mainstream-ish non-gorefest horrors?
You sure you don't actually like thrillers instead?

This used to be the case, then Found Footage #3 came out with a 45min runtime on its own xD
Ninja_attack@reddit
I'm pretty excited for it too. The Kane series is really good and I think it'll translate well to the big screen with him behind the camera.

A24 produces good movies and that makes me optimistic about tying everything together nicely
eskimoexplosion@reddit
I like A24, not all their movies hit but they're taking risks and doing stuff outside the standard Hollywood formula
Ninja_attack@reddit
Agreed. Better than generic Hollywood audience pleaser that is "safe".

Totally agree, we should be on the 87th Jason/Freddy Krueger/Texas Chainsaw Massacre/Mike Myers films since the old horror films were so good.
Krillkus@reddit
I know who you mean but picturing Austin Powers as a slasher antagonist always cracks me up.
“Oh god, I think he’s in the house”
Distantly “Yeahhh baby”
Hyperversum@reddit
Yeah just admit you have no clue why it's being picked up lol
MS_Salmonella@reddit
It's just racism, barely disguised as humor and barely relevant to the movie.
Due-Boss-4354@reddit
The front rooms joke is funny. Maybe you're too touchy about blacks.
JustChillin3456@reddit
First time on 4chan?
MS_Salmonella@reddit
No, I used to go on 4chan all the time back in the early 2010s. Probably why I'm burnt out on this kind of humor. It's old, and I'm old.
fluffynuckels@reddit
Racist jokes can just be jokes. I laugh at jokes about any race even my own of theyre funny

All Anons present would probably shut themselves if they ended up there though

4chan has infighting pretty regularly, but it's still kinda funny how this is chastising something that originates from the same site.

Why does the smoke detector keep chirping in the trailer?
tasty_hands@reddit
Because of the implication
