I never saw or played any previous backrooms media before I saw the movie. I just wanted to see something scary and interesting, and it delivered. I then went and watched the whole youtube series and enjoyed it as well. It's too bad some people that were fans previous to the movie have issues with it. I think all of it builds a really cool world and I want to see more.

Yeah! I agree, i think some complains were also that "it wasn't scary" (which imo kinda is untrue) like the whole concept of the backroom doesn't rely on jumpscare and gore, it rely on the feeling of uneasiness, discomfort and "being followed/being watched" that's the whole mechanism of the backrooms.

Then again some people that are actually fans of the backrooms are saying that it didn't concentrate in the place/the backroom itself but more on the characters which you know what fair, however i feel like we needed to have this pov cause obviously the backroom WILL play with your sanity and mental health that's obvious, imo that would have been the easy and boring thing to do because it would have been really previsible- the fact that we follow people who already go through so much just add depth to how weird, bizzare, scary and fast the backroom are and can adapt.

The movie is for the people who never saw any piece of media related to the backrooms (like you) and still can, understand the whole jig of it, it's for the people that are fans of the backrooms and followed the lore EVEN if they came late, it's fo the people who followed the whole backroom thing from the start; that contributed to the lore and made the thing entertaining!

you should watch his youtube serie in the meantime on his youtube channel Kane pixels, take the time to also watch "the oldest view" it's soooooo good and you'll see a scene from the oldest view that was (imo) referenced in the movie backrooms!!!

Episode 3 was so scary to me, the “giant” for some reason creeped me out so much, the first 2 videos set up the 3rd so well. I liked the last 2 as like an epilogue as well. Maybe the world of backrooms has more potential to expand but as a small creepy series the oldest view was awesome 👍
