Ngl if i saw that shit i would scream so hard even tho i just saw that warning

[@126theman]

Definitely agree! Left me confused the whole time!

[@alexmcfly31415]

The Backrooms are so terrifying because of their level of helplessness, like, if you saw that warning you'd probably be fine as long as you didn't move, but you can't just not move forever, you have to eventually, you die either way.

[@CrazyChan]

It's likely the warning is a decoy. I mean, arrows guiding you to a spot where it tells you to stay still? Quite fishy. I do agree on the adding stress level part, not knowing whether to trust a sign in an otherworldly space or your common sense, and having mere seconds to make your move.

[@NaTive219]

I would’ve been so confused about staying still but I would just start making a run for it

[@TheDiamondCore]

The backrooms are such an interesting concept that have always fascinated me I’ve been a fan since 2020 and still am despite the number of children who infested this fandom with shit like “Level 199383 where poppy playtime and skibidi toilet will send you to backrooms Ohio if you hit the griddy after opening the red door!”, I still am. Being trapped in an endless space you know absolutely nothing about, without any food or water and slowly deteriorating is both terrifying and so fascinating, this horror concept isn’t usually done before and I’m glad someone talented has used this material to make a great series (and a soon-to-be great movie, I’m sure) In my opinion, the backrooms is at its best when it’s somewhere between this series lore and the wiki lore, like no entities/1 single entity, a couple levels that all blend together, and some resources for extended survival is a great backrooms foundation imo

It's really creepy and there is no way to predict how you will end up in the backrooms. You can fall through the floor, through a wall, walk into a room that will lead you to the backrooms, etc. And reality doesn't make sense here so you can't rely on things like physics to work here.

This right here I agreed on right away but then as I thought on it more idk if it’s exactly true. He didn’t have the big Hollywood budget so that’s where the simplicity and nuance of his videos came from. He adapted his horror/suspense style to match that of what he could afford to film which was the prefect storm to create these back room clips. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure he would make a killer horror or suspense movie but it will lack the grounded and real feeling not to mention the simplicity that made these videos so damn perfect. Meaning he since he didn’t have to rely on big budget cgi and special effects so he HAD to put more time, thought, and energy into creating the atmosphere and the feelings the normal everyday person experience instead of it just being all big expensive fluff that usually comes from big budget movies.

For the first time in my life, I’ve never felt this type of horror. Most horror movies have you terrified of what is GOING to happen, but this short film had me absolutely petrified of what was ALREADY happening. Just the thought of being in an eerie, time-consuming, endless maze that you had no intent of ending up in is such a realistic type of nightmare. This is one of the better horror films I’ve seen, by far.

[@Rain-fm2jt]

This is why I find the backrooms so fascinating. That pure dread of an empty space, where you don’t know what you’re looking for or where it is… or what might be in there with you, until it finds you. The 90’s/2000’s aesthetic and the rather “ugly” creature design really sells it. Making the backrooms too pretty eliminates the fear factor, so I’m glad you went with the disturbing angles and camera work. In other words, this is a masterpiece!

[@FzeroVaporeon]

[@lnhp5592]

i think one of the reasons why liminal spaces are scary imo, is because they look unnaturally clean and "produced". It's like as if these rooms just naturally appeared out of thin air, and by making themselves look like a bleak parody of something comfortable and nostalgic, they try to trick people into believing they're safe there, as if the rooms by themselves are trying to actively lure people inside.

Making the backrooms "too pretty" doesn't eliminate the fear factor. If you were completely alone in any environment you wouldn't say "oh I don't have anyone and I'm going to stay here probably until I die but look it's pretty I am now in pure bliss" As long as it's somewhat monotonous it will work at creating fear.
