This is why I HATED the movie, save your bs explanation for why the pirate should be psychologically scary. Idgaf abt clipping or any of that bs, the fucking big reveal was an ai looking pirate💔. Previews had me expecting scp type shi, total let down. #backrooms#a24#trending
Are you people fucking telling me that the monster in the backrooms movie is a fucking 3 meter tall pirate
is that what you're telling me
"the original post implied theres a monster" was it a fucking giant pirate
was it a giant fucking pirate
Was dating a girl long distance and she gave me a similar story, I was like tf why didn’t u report it? She ofc said there was no point nothing would happen, then continued hanging with that same crowd😭😭. These girls doing this just hurting true victim’s reliability. #real
Knew a girl once who said that she was forced by her ex-boyfriend. I asked whether she filed a case and whether the guy got any punishment.
She smiled and said no. It seemed off to me.
After a month, she was back to dating the same guy.
Worst thing is, I used to think she was genuinely a nice person.
Like most, there are many things to criticize Hasan for. Same with me.
But what are we doing in 2026 writing articles about someone having CONSENSUAL sex and reviving CONSENSUAL nudes?
Porn is not always healthy, but hard to hate someone for watching?
This is some 2020 shit…
Henry Nowak was mortally wounded by a hostile foreigner, held down & arrested by White police because he was accused of racism by his own murderer, where he then bled out & died on the street.
This is an allegory for what is happening to European civilization on a global scale.
Went and saw @BackroomsMov.
Should’ve been called Whackrooms. The unbearable stench of wasted potential. Whole theater couldn’t stop laughing.
Someone really took this ambitious & stirring concept, then decided “actually??? Ok, hear me out: the film MUST be about an alcoholic furniture salesman & his therapist…”
I wish that was a joke.
Miss me with the “it’s a metaphor!” mess - the original series understood metaphor & narrative, this “version” merely smashes you over the head with a whiffle bat labeled “STORY”, like therapist-lady (a character so bland I refuse to remember her name) smashing Crack Sparrow’s [more on him in a sec] peg leg with a coatrack to defeat him…
(& I so wish that last sentence, too, was said in jest; no, that’s taken directly from the “cLiMaCtiC” showdown towards the very end. sorry for any spoilers, I guess…?)
@Kanepixels7 (if that is your real account) - they did you dirty. First @A24 stinker I’ve ever seen, can’t believe it’s in the same pantheon as Midsommar or The Lighthouse…
I don’t know which I want back more:
- my $82.75 for four tickets
- 105 minutes of my life
- an unsullied perception of this IP
- my lost respect for @MarkDuplass (wedged into the last five minute of the film cuz why not??? MD, I doubt you’ll see this, but you did the best with what you were given… I just think you should’ve sat this one out; if you helm the inevitable sequel - especially creatively - & it rocks? I’ll be elated!)

I have so many more thoughts on this trash fire - tempted to pen a longform review, but no one would read it, lol — instead, let me “treat you” to two images that exemplify everything wrong with this… thing.
first: the malevolent, imposing, & purposefully enigmatic dark beings from the OG liminal breakout web series…
second: what I’ve “affectionately” named “Captain Crack Sparrow”, the … “bad guy” … from the 2026 big-budget film known as The Backrooms:
@AmirNai43217252 I am in my mid 20’s and have never been on those online spaces, I watched the movie as someone with knowledge of what the backrooms were but not the full lore. It still just sucked bro it wasn’t scary and didn’t make me feel uneasy.
Backrooms was so ass don’t waste your money.
I seen so many millennials/boomers walking out of that theatre so confused.
It was such a let down and so anticlimactic.

@judypancoast I described a general population and u singled out yourself as if you represent everyone, that’s one of the very first signs of a low iq. Boomer/Gen z it doesn’t matter if you are born low IQ to begin with.
Generally a movie aims to be marketable to as many ages/groups as possible, I was just making a point that it is harder for older people to understand. Modern horror movies have been such an L anyways. The last great horror movie I can think of was the conjuring 10 years ago
@suppression_x@aerospace98351 Shut the fuck up bro. Why would we care about the opinion of boomers and millennials? Especially boomers when it comes to modern horror movies. Why would I give a shit at all? Them not liking it is a good sign honestly
@0x_jaws@IsraeliScat@Robl40702 The horrible cgi, bad acting, the pace of the second half of the movie sucked. When the entity was unknown it was super scary, as soon as that dumbass pirate showed up i lost all interest. Plus the awful CGI on top of it, it was laughable. Prob not cgi, looked ai anyways.
