It’s not scary it’s just fascinating. Like catacomb exploration videos.
catacomb exploration videos are real though. these are all surreal and fake. a gigantic empty room with a random object that the artist just decided to drop in... you really find that compelling? it could be a giant doughnut, or a basket. how is that fascinating? genuinely curious. i just watched the new kane pixel video and its 45 minutes of shakey cam and heavy breathing
>these are all surreal and fake
You mean like a tv and film?
They're fascinated because they're surreal. It's not that difficult to understand.
so you don't like/get found footage in general? theres the problem. its not for you.
its good when its pulled off right, not when its fetishized. at this point, "found footage" is an excuse for any supernatural dimension-jumping capeshit just with a handheld camera perspective
If we're talking specifically about kanepixes take on the backroom a I don't find them scary at all I just like how he took a simple Cinemaphile post and turned it into an interesting SciFi concept. From a film making perspective he's decent at world building and the whole idea of an intradimensional storage experiment gone wrong is pretty cool. I'm impressed a teenager was able to create such a convincingly real looking project in unity as well.
If they really flesh out the lore that Kane built upon them the movie could be really good.
the backrooms movie will be about a company that builds the backrooms using advanced technology, and then it gets forgotten and lost, and interdimensional beings get attracted to it, and then modern people discover it and they send in a SWAT team... lmfao
Sounds entirely plausible and not entirely terrible if I'm being honest.
My hope is that the technology and the motivations for building it are the focal point of the movie. No found footage bullshit for the whole movie, just hard SciFi deepdive into the lore/tech before things go wrong.
Sent the SWAT team in and have your 20 minute bodycam/found footage sequence of them having some success before being massacred. End the movie with the dimensional beings escaping to the real world.
Considering A24 that's probably the best possible outcome.
i think you hit on the right note, which is that the found footage element should only be for small periods of time. not 40+ minutes. we saw that with Skinamarink and it was boring as frick. great experimental concept, but a waste of a whole movie. then the issue becomes, how do you keep the tone and pace for the rest of the film to be inline with that 20 minute found footage section... we'll see if A24 can pull it off.
>start off with a cool idea
>morons keep adding their own moronic lore and different canons and just layers of unnecessary bullshit until it’s not cool anymore
It really is just slenderman for zoomers huh
Millenials actually. Backrooms were a thing since 2000. Slenderman is for zoomers.
>Backrooms were a thing since 2000
What the frick are you talking about?
Yeah I dunno wtf he's talking about. The backrooms may have been MADE in 2000, but the concept didn't even gain attention till 3 fricking years ago when covid brain made everyone an original content creator. If anything Slenderman is early 2000's not the backrooms.
>The backrooms may have been MADE in 2000
Glad we agree. No one cares that dumbass zoomers couldn't appreciate it until someone made a youtube video. That doesn't change that millennials knew about it.
True.
House of Leaves, illiterate zoomies
Well in that case slenderman is hundreds of years old
ur hundreds of years old, gaygit
Never heard of it.
what a moronic take
it is the backrooms for boomers so he's right
in fact it even goes further back than that with things like twin peaks or the shining. dont blame us for this, yall homies pioneered this kind of horror.
It was a creepypasta since 2000. What are you not understanding esl?
Youtube creators are a plague to the original horror concept.
>create a dope ass ARG, FF, or original expanded idea on a basic concept
>every homosexual and their mom has to dissect, copy, and self insert their own horseshit into it
>because it's an original idea with no real owner, every bit of lore is now canon no matter how idiotic
I learned to give up on this shit from old scp files vs the new.
Let people enjoy things
Ppl can enjoy things without going turbo fanfiction mode on it. The backrooms is cool, but to add in its suddenly infested with WW2 tanks, dinosaurs, cars, and rape demons is fricking stupid.
>dope ass
ywnbaw
You mean like every horror franchise ever?
They ran it into the ground almost immediately. There's a handful of good videos, but the vast majority don't get what made the original idea so creepy. It wasn't the science experiments or dumb "entities" running around.
>rolling giant series was dead before it even began
The original idea mainly works as an intriguing concept. Once you want to make it into a video, it has to have some kind of narrative, unless you want to use the concept only in a single video in the vein of "My house walk-through"
the justification to have a narrative is what ruins it IMO. then it becomes capeshit just with a handheld camera gimmick. autists though get hung up on lore-slop
could you imagine drifting and doing donuts in that thing? nobody is around to yell at you
the cart isn't meant to be scary you moron
it ties in with the ending of a previous video
>why do people find this scary?
It’s weird and interesting and there’s a mystery to it
backrooms is interesting cuz when its done by someone competent its similar to dreams, its also like the game LSD
most of the rooms are gay though. i really liked 'eternal suburbia' though it felt like a hellish limbo
I dunno.
>House of Leaves, Published March 7 2000
>Grave Encounters comes out in 2011
hmm.....
Rate it.
I think I read a book reviewing that but I've never watched it myself.
Never understood it. When I see a big empty room like that I imagine what kind of games I could play in it or what it would be like if it was a paintball arena or something.
yeah that's the point
Zoomers live such sheltered lives that the idea of exploring an abandoned labyrinthine building filled with well-lit rooms, with no furniture in them, makes them shit their pants.
I thought the backrooms concept worked well when it was focused on capturing the eerie ambience of exploring empty and vast spaces. Adding monsters and other "entities" completely ruins the point because it just turns the backrooms into another generic boogeyman setting.
this one was pretty good
what am i lookin at?
one of the scariest videos in years.
this kid's got so much talent, i really hope they gave him full creative control in the backrooms movie.
so did you sit and watch 45+ minutes just for a glimpse at a strange statue?
nah i skipped around
>Wyatt dumb ass doesn't convince a group of people to come with him to explore an underground mall in the middle of nowhere within private property.
Is there a term for a story that has a main character break an obvious law, and them dying for it? you kinda feel bad for him when the stairs collapsed, but then remember he did it to himself.
