Love the video. Hate the creepy grunting transition sounds 😅
Very sad that the ending's implication is that Mary, who was truly innocent in all of this, is now corporate/ASYNC's property & is never going to be allowed to leave.
So The backrooms is basically a Living thing i mean like the floors are alive They Lure you In using your curiosity against you or either just drop you in And keep you there with nostalgic experiences or Places you went to or might have existed in the past kind of like the Mall From The oldest View
The movie was garbage. Sorry
A clever take on the concept of infinity, quantum physics, and string theory.
I saw it today and was disappointed. The set up was too long and once it’s over you think the it’s going to pick the pace up it slows down again. A movie about the backrooms should be about the backrooms. The scenes with Mary and her mother should’ve all been cut. They add nothing to the plot. Also I don’t like the idea of backrooms making copies of people. If that’s the case then the backrooms should be full of people, animals, etc. it creates massive holes in the lore.
Wtf noise is that when your video switches slides? I hate that it sounds like a scraping coughing wheezing noise tf
Mary did escape. There is just always a copy in the backrooms
the movie has a lot of unanswered questions. what was that scene of clark running from the monster, warping into level 2, warping into level 4, then back to normal? what was mary's childhood?
movie sucked
I feel like Mary's mom has definitely been to the backrooms and that's why she was so batshit insane and refused to let Mary outside because she was afraid she'd find the place too. The scene where it shows the house being copied over and over kind of proves this.
I like the silence in the end
I am very confused about the movie and it's well I'm not going to say it's good or bad I mean it is good but the ending is not the greatest But will there be a part 2 Right? Isn't there supposed to be more creatures and levels just like the game I would say about the movie 👍 it's okay but hope there is a part 2 for the movie
I always thought it was a copy of her. And I hope it is
so the backrooms not a mistake copy of the real world?
Guys I have question about the opening scene was that Clark what was going on?
The ending where Mary is shown distorted is actually not Mary its just a distorted copy of it. In the real world she is actually in the Async facility
I liked a lot that the ending was left open for more mystery and people that may find more ways in over time.
This is so mind-blowingggggg
All I wanna know is, who’s the fcking dude in the chair at the end that flips the lamp on.
