Leftists who nerd out about Vikings, Celtic music, Ancient Greek philosophy, or anything to do with European history & culture confuse me so much. It’s like, “Otters are my favorite animals :) I can’t wait for them all to go extinct :))”
obsession making 100x its budget in 2 weeks and backrooms opening like this against a star wars movie… hollywood may never let anyone over the age of 30 hold a camera again
one thing i'm glad the Backrooms movie didn't include is the concept of there being different "levels." i watched a video years ago that was like All Backrooms Levels Explained and more than half of them were like "this is a peaceful level where explorers can rest"
@capybaroness the levels thing was a lame attempt to replicate the scp foundation and create a framework for people online to contribute to the lore. fundamentally, adding structure to a place whose main power is not having any is such an own-goal lmao
@AwestruckVox They’re so vague about it too and they refuse to elaborate in the replies just saying “it was bad and I didn’t like it” over and over again. it’s so obvious they didn’t watch it and someone’s paying them 😭
Is anyone else noticing a lot of vague negative tweets about The Backrooms coming exclusively from blue check accounts who, after a simple scroll, have never posted about movies before??
@ChazingtonYT I also think a lot of it stems from the fact that:
1. they’re mad that level 21676942 wasn’t there and an entity that’s the same copy paste slender black figure that’s in a million other fan made levels
Or
2. They’re mad the movie isn’t 1h 45mins of just walking
@ChazingtonYT Like actually. The lack of media literacy I’ve seen for this film is incredible. THAT. AND COMPARING IT TO OBSESSION FOR ZERO REASON.
But it can’t be helped. They won’t change. They’re just wired that way.
I always thought “you weren’t paying attention” was a really weak response to movie criticism but seeing some of the Backrooms reviews I think most of these people were just actually on their phones the entire time, I’ve seen them ask questions about things that are just answered
I just watched the Backrooms movie and it was absolute shit. Where the fuck are the smilers? the partygoers? the poolrooms? Uncanny mr. Incredible? the 999+ chungus roblox levels that I would read about on the Backrooms wiki page? Fuck you, A24 and Kane Pixels for this slop!
Backrooms was very good but i fear the discourse surrounding this movie is gonna kill me this is a movie you need to watch with a working brain and there’s like 50 people who still do that
Yea aftering seeing it I thought it was incredible and everything I wanted from a backrooms movie. I'm not surprised that leaving the theater multiple people said it sucked, it's not your basic slasher slop so it's not going to do much for the average audience
If you watched the Backrooms movie and didn’t understand the ending after the characters were in your face telling you what the Backrooms really were (in theory) I’m sorry to say but you may need to seriously consider your comprehension skills :/
