Video summary
The speaker provides a detailed commentary while watching *Backrooms*, positioning it alongside the film *Obsession* as another recent horror success driven by young, former YouTubers rather than traditional industry veterans. Although their personal knowledge of the source material is limited to basic concepts like liminal spaces and Slender Man lore, they express excitement about exploring these themes with an audience that likely knows more. The video includes a sponsored segment for Quint clothing before diving into specific observations about the film's structure, noting how it avoids strict found-footage constraints in favor of a non-documentary lens to better explain the world-building. This approach allows viewers to understand the mechanics of the Backrooms without being limited by an overly obscure perspective that might alienate new audiences.
A central theme discussed is the psychological horror derived from isolation and unreliable narration, particularly regarding the characters Clark and Mary. The speaker argues that both protagonists are actually unreliable narrators whose stories mirror each other like two sides of a coin, creating a false sense of security for the audience when they believe one character's perspective over the other. This dynamic highlights how memory functions within the Backrooms as a constantly evolving room full of recollections rather than static reality. The film effectively visualizes this descent into madness through distinct levels that devolve and create new pathways, reinforcing the idea that familiarity can be both comforting and terrifying when trapped in an endless loop of misremembered experiences.
The commentary also touches on various theories regarding the entities, still lives, and specific plot points such as the nature of the opening portals and the fate of characters like Captain Clark. The speaker questions why certain memories are retained while others fade, suggesting that stagnation and isolation cause entities to grow stronger in their minds. They note disturbing details like stationary clouds painted on a static sky and the physical pain felt by entities compared to the numbness of still lives. Additionally, there is confusion expressed over logistical inconsistencies, such as how characters navigate between levels or why specific items from the original plane are missing memories entirely, leading to debates about whether these gaps represent forgotten history or deliberate narrative choices.
Ultimately, while the speaker admits that some aspects of Mary's character arc could have been explored more deeply compared to Clark's complete decline, they conclude that *Backrooms* is a highly immersive and enjoyable experience best viewed in silence away from distractions like dining rooms. The film succeeds by blending found-footage aesthetics with traditional storytelling to create an eerie atmosphere where the line between reality and memory blurs completely. Despite having more questions than answers regarding the lore's logistics, such as how entities escape or why certain doors never close, the speaker recommends the movie for its ability to evoke a profound sense of dread through isolation. They encourage viewers to share their own theories in the comments, acknowledging that the vague nature of the world invites endless interpretation and discussion about what truly happens within those infinite levels.

Back rooms daughter or obsession son?
>> I'd say pull the trigger.
>> I did one of the horror flicks from this
summer, so I had to do the other. Today
we are watching backs. Back rooms I
actually saw in theaters, but I realized
that I kind of do have a lot to say
about this movie, so I wanted to make a
commentary and watch it with you guys.
Backs and Obsession always kind of get
clumped together when talking about it
within movies, especially this summer,
for two main reasons, right? Maybe
three. For one, they were major
financial successes. Two, they were both
original stories. And three, they were
both made by very young and former
YouTubers. Meaning that these financial
successes of original stories came from
people that did not train in a
traditional sense, which not only
surprised but impressed many. The
director Kane Parsons was known on
YouTube for his backrooms short film
series and then turned it into a full
feature film. My knowledge of Backrooms
and the lore is not very extensive. I've
never played the game. I actually have
never watched the short film series on
YouTube. So, my knowledge of it is
pretty limited. I know a basic
understanding of it similarly to my
knowledge on Slender Man. I know the
story and I know kind of the concept of
the back rooms and of liinal spaces. And
I'm excited to talk about it with you
guys today because I feel like it is a
little bit more of a movie where there's
a lot of different interpretations of
different scenes of different concepts
within it. I feel like it's kind of just
the tip of the iceberg when it comes to
this world. And I'm really excited to
read your comments. So, don't be shy in
the comments. I genuinely do love
reading all your comments, especially
when it's something like this where
there is such a big conversation at the
core of this movie. I love hearing all
your different theories or your
different interpretations. Even if it is
different than mine or even if you think
I'm stupid because I interpreted
something different, I do love hearing
what you guys have to say. So, please
leave your comments down below. Thank
you, Quint, for sponsoring today's
video. Quint is your one-stop shop for
all your essentials, whether that's
clothing, homegoods, or accessories, and
all at an affordable price. I'm
constantly looking for new things to
wear for videos because I don't want you
guys to think that I literally own one
piece of clothing. With Quint, I'm able
to find new pieces and still look
professional. I think that my style has
evolved a lot over time and especially
as I'm getting older, I'm starting to
want to look a little bit more mature.
Quint has everything from casual wear.
I'm wearing their jeans right now. They
have cute casual dresses to business
casual and even something like a wedding
dress. I got one of their long gowns for
wedding season and I'm absolutely in
love with it. It's this gorgeous,
gorgeous sage green color and it fits so
beautifully. It's so stunning and it is
truly this one-stop shop of finding
anything you could possibly need for any
occasion. I really was surprised by the
amount of variety that they had on their
site and all within a great price range.
Quint only works with factories that use
safe, ethical, and responsible
manufacturing for their clothes. I'm
going to try to show you my jeans. I
have a very hard time finding jeans,
especially ordering online without any
prior try on. This is so weird.
[laughter]
These are the jeans. This is such a
weird way to like stand, but like
they're so cute. Like this is so cute.
Like all Quinn's outfit though. Like for
real. Like and I was so pleasantly
surprised by the way these fit. I
prioritize comfort above all else. And
jeans are one of the things that I think
always elevates your look and always
makes you look a little bit more like
put together, but at what cost if
they're uncomfortable? And with Quint, I
have no problem with them. They fit me.
They're long enough for my legs and they
are true to size. So, when I picked my
size, I was kind of just guessing and
they ended up fitting perfectly, which I
have a huge problem with anything denim
fitting perfectly because I feel like
the size is all over the place on every
single company's website. And this one,
I guessed, and I was completely right
because their sizing was true. Quincy

level watches back rooms at just 24
years old
is
almost as iconic. My biggest comparison
to the backrooms was as above so below.
It really reminded me of like Dante's
Inferno, like this kind of like seven
layers of hell concept. Not that I know
much about it, but I just reminded me of
As Above So Below when they're in the
catacombs and they just like keep going
deeper into the layers of hell levels.
Level seven of the back rooms.
Some people wanted the whole film filmed
like this and I don't really know cuz I
love found footage movies, but I just
don't think it really would have worked
so well for such an obscure or like big
concept of the backs, you know? Like I
feel like it wouldn't have worked if we
only saw this like very unknown angle of
the backs. I liked getting to know more
about the world and what the backrooms
was through a nonfound footage lens.
[panting]
We need found footage underwater because
this is exactly how it sounds when
you're like scuba diving.
Here we go. Here we go. Cuz this right
here is not a back room's memory. This
is stuff that they brought into the back
rooms. Correct. Like it's not a memory
of the original plane. It is the
original plane products within the
backrooms.
>> I didn't get a good look at it, but
there's some there's something else in
here.
>> There's something else in here with me.
[ __ ] Please.
>> [screaming]
>> And I knew that was coming, too. And I
knew that was coming. And And you knew
that. And you knew that I knew that was
coming. And here's a big concept of
animals within the back rooms. Did that
animal just sneak into the back rooms
like the fly does later, or is it a
memory of the animals? And can animals
be remembered in the back rooms as well?
No credit. Cuz this in a sense means
that everything that kind of happens
later on was kind of already a memory
within the back rooms. Cuz this is the
furthest that he had ever gotten. He's
like, I haven't been out this far.
>> I've never been out this far before,
son.
>> So the furniture store has already
started its memory process of the back
within the back rooms.
But
[ __ ] you. Just [ __ ] off
cuz that Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Pause.
Pause. Pause. Pause pause. Pause. Pause.
Pause. I'm I'm sweating also. And I know
that a lot of people said that Backrooms
wasn't that scary. I actually did find
it to be very scary. There is something
about Backrooms that gives me like the
heebie-jebies and like is a very eerie
feeling. Like I'm I am sweating right
now. It's I I feel like I've like I've
like timetraveled back into time like
watching like Hereditary for the first
time on this channel where I'm like
profusely sweating which is interesting
because I have seen this movie like I
have seen backs I have an understanding
of what's going to happen but there's
still something about this concept that
very much scares me. There's an idea of
being alone and isolated and not knowing
what's around the corner that really
does just h just gets the pits sweating,
but it also gets my heart racing. But I
also think it depends on where you watch
it. I do think some movies will get
skewed depending on your watching
experience. So I think when people saw
Backrooms, a lot of people were coming
off of Obsession when they went into
Backrooms. An Obsession is more of a
movie where you can kind of like make
reactions to because it's more it's not
as cons I don't know vague as the back
rooms. There's kind of a bit of more of
an understanding of what's going on. But
with back rooms, you really needed that
like super super quiet theater to really
immerse yourself into
the story and to what's going on. Like
this was not something where like a
dinner in a movie like a dining in like
a studio movie grill was going to be
good. Like having the waiters around you
kind of like asking people orders as
you're watching this just like kind of
took you out of the immersive experience
which you could say about every single
movie. But I think there are some movies
where you can kind of like it doesn't
really change the experience that much
if someone's ordering like nachos next
to you. But I feel like for back rooms,
I feel like the most pivotal and best
viewing experience for back rooms would
be for a completely silent, maybe even
empty theater or at home, lights off,
like very very isolated. I think that's
how you can really immerse yourself into
that experience.
And now I also have confirmation that
the entity here is
the same entity.
[screaming]
And also that's Avon Joia from
Victorious. That's freaking Beck from
Victorious. Oh my god. And no one wants
to talk about that scene. That that part
where the TV turns off and it's just a
bunch of [ __ ] people watching it.
[ __ ] scary as [ __ ] No one wants to
talk about how [ __ ] scary those
[ __ ] are. My only my biggest
complaint about this movie is
that I think they should have opened up
her plot a little bit more. I think that
we got so much of an insight on Clark
that I wish we got a little bit more of
a understanding of her character because
I think we get hints of it and ideas,
but it's never really fully played out
by the end of the story, which could be
like a purposeful, but I think that it
would have been good because you don't
have that many people you're following.
It's really her and Clark.
>> The path you made, it's the one that
kept you safe. So, I think just having
their two storylines kind of paralleling
were really interesting where maybe and
maybe that's also the point that we
don't need to hear her side of the story
and her perspective on her own arc
because it mirrors Clark so heavily that
like it's almost like we already gave
you the plot like you know this and you
know this
>> the glass I broke the glass and she
comes running down to see what happened
and
things escalated. And how do you feel?
>> Well, I was I was drunk and um I felt
stupid. I was angry.
>> I think the brilliance of Backrams in my
opinion. I I Okay, who cares if it's my
opinion? This is my channel. Of course,
it's my opinion. I don't know why I got
angry, guys. I think what's great about
Backrooms is that it gives the false
sense that Clark is an unreliable
narrator and that Mary, I believe her
name is Mary, that she is the reliable
narrator when in fact they are both
unreliable narrators of their own
stories. And so I think that's really
interesting because I think immediately
you can tell with Clark's roleplay here
about what happened the night when his
wife left him. You can kind of already
tell that he's an unreliable narrator
and that he's not really living in
reality by the way he describes it. It's
interesting cuz it's almost like in a
manipulative way you can see him take
accountability in some ways. This false
sense of accountability that almost
gives you the idea that this person is
self-aware. Well, I was drunk and I I
you know, I I hurt people in my life and
I just better off alone. But in a sense,
he's he doesn't believe that truly. He
doesn't believe that he hurts people and
he should be alone. He feels resentful
of the fact that his wife left him and
he feels like that is unjust in his life
and he doesn't believe that he should be
alone and he doesn't truly believe that
he hurts people. And so I think that's
interesting because you can already tell
that he is unreliable and then you
believe that Mary is more reliable
because she is in this more trusting
position, right? She's the therapist and
she also is a little bit more sound of
mind than Clark. And so I think it's
interesting that it sets up the audience
to believe that she's more reliable when
in fact they both are, and you will see
this throughout the movie, parallels of
each other, mirrors of each other that
are like kind of two sides of the same
coin in v various amounts of ways.
>> NEW PARENTS LOOKING FOR BILLY'S FIRST
CRIB. WE'VE GOT YOU.
>> I don't know. I think he kind of ate
with this infomercial. Like I don't
know. I think he did. I I like the
commercial. It's sad that it like
created such a crazy entity full of
resentment and hate, but I liked the
commercial. I did
>> here at Captain.
>> Boom. Entity made. Backrooms remembered
that. Oh, boom. I love her and her gay
little boyfriend. That's my favorite.
That's my favorite part of any horror
movie is the girl and her gay little
boyfriend. I wish we got a little bit
more of them, right? Like I think they
could have been really cool.
>> Expert. Why? Why is it why is it going
that way?
>> Better question.
What is it even connected to?
>> And I love that. I love that like almost
my interpretation that it like the
because it's one level down, the back
rooms already starts kind of forming and
and having this memory. So guys, check
in your basement. We don't have
basements here in Texas. Found that out.
I thought basements weren't real for a
long time. It's interesting. So check
your basements and see if you find
anything interesting. And if there's a
back rooms down, is there a different
set of rooms up?
Think about that. And look at her
>> just as lonely as clerk. I'm telling
you, with their like [ __ ] ass like
commercials, their [ __ ] ass '90s
commercials promoting their stuff.
Lonely as hell TV dinner. No. Like, come
on, guys. That's my friend. Okay.
Barbara has red hair. I'm like taking
note of this because when I was watching
it the first time, I couldn't remember
that much because my backgrounds was
remembering it. I don't want to say
that. I actually think referring to it
as my back rooms is not a connotation
that I want to put out there.
>> Your consciousness is a room full of
memories that is constantly evolving.
>> Full of memories that is constantly
evolving.
>> The latch was never broken. [music]
Are you ready to step through?
>> See how she like didn't [ __ ] come out
on the other [laughter] side of that
door? You see how like she didn't like
exit on the other side? What the [ __ ]
was that?
And question, does that like weird like
opening illusion happen at all the
openings for the back rooms? Because I'm
assuming there's multiple different
entry points to the backrooms and do
they all appear in that similar way? Or
do people just like [ __ ] fall through
it and that's how they find it? Oh.
I'm just testing things out, guys. I'm
just
I'm just testing things out to make sure
nothing nothing's happening here. Ooh,
I'd be so [ __ ] scared of my back
rooms. Oh, I need to stop saying it like
that. My memory of the back like back
rooms like cuz I have so many crazy like
shits in here and like stuffed animals
that would just be so creepy in this
world. Like it actually would be so
[ __ ] scary. Well, and does this
opening ever close? Like are the
openings just existing? Like there's
there's so many openings that exist
within the back rooms
and they never close. Like it's not like
a portal that opens and closes. Like
it's always open.
That's a question I have.
It looks so good though. Like it just
has that that feeling of nostalgia and
like melancholy look to it. I don't know
how to describe it. It just feels so
familiar yet foreign at the same time.
And I also have a question about what
the backroom's entity is because at the
beginning in the short film series, it's
kind of this like vague idea. that this
one is very personal and it seems like a
personal demon for Clark. And I wonder
do does everybody have their own kind of
personal entity that they face when they
discover the backrooms or is it always
did it always come from the furniture
store and that's been the entity there
the entire time for this back rooms? I
think I have more questions than
answers.
It's also so weird that there's just
this little like cupboard that can be
opened and walked through when it seems
like everything else in the back rooms
almost seems like solidified within
place, especially within the walls. So,
it kind of makes me think that like this
tunnel is like made and not just like
created in the back rooms. And if Avon
Joia if Avon Joia died then why did they
keep his bag there? Or was his bag there
the entire time and it was always at
that hiding spot? But I'm like, he had a
whole hazmat suit on. Like, why not have
the backpack on?
>> I remember thinking,
>> I'm about to beat this [ __ ] up.
>> Cuz at that point, like, I'm not getting
back. Like, I just don't understand how
we're getting back. We've gone through
the hole. We've like turned left, right,
left, center. Like, we like what's
happening? And those are obviously the
girl and her like her gay boyfriend's
shoes already. And that's the memory of
the infomercial. Like that's the parrot.
That's a huge version of the chair. Like
ginormous. And size and volume of things
really is a mystery within this because
some entities are remembered smaller as
they are. And some are just huge.
He just like not running fast enough. I
don't understand how he's like not
sprinting. Oh my god. Cuz he's lucky
that's where he ended up and he didn't
end up in the [ __ ] pool room.
He's like, I had to come back.
>> All right, guys. I got to run.
>> All right, I got to
>> I had to come back for more. And he
picks the most
like
normal thing in there, right? Like
everyone's like, why did he go back and
get that stool? It's like, okay, you
guys are stupid. It obviously goes back
in there so he can have some sort of
proof of what just happened. My question
is not why he got the stool. My question
is why didn't he get one of the freaky
ones that was like stuck together and
weirdly upside down? That's what I would
have said is that why didn't you get one
that was a little bit more weird? And
does the entity not escape because the
entity doesn't want to escape or does
the entity not escape because it doesn't
know how to or because it's not allowed
to?
It's also interesting that they got the
camera there, but then they couldn't
find the opening or more not even the
opening, but like the more hints about
where the location of the opening was
because there is so many things that
indicate the type of location that it's
under, right? It's obviously furniture
or some sort of like antique store. And
it just seems interesting that they put
the camera there and they obviously have
access to those sides, but then they
couldn't figure out where the store or
the opening was located. And I also
don't believe that the scientist looked
at the footage and was scared because he
saw a person there. I think he was
scared because they already know what
the entity looks like and it looks like
[ __ ] him.
>> You're no G.
>> Are there any people in these offices?
>> Not that I've seen. For all I know,
there's hundreds of people I just
haven't seen.
I think he fully knows who's there.
>> Like, he's been there every single
night, right, since that happened. I
think he fully knows what's down there.
I think he fully knows what the entity
is. Like, I don't think that's a
surprise. We're on the same page with
that. That he lies to her when she's
like, "Is there anyone else down there?"
And he's like, "There could be." It's
like, I know you know who the [ __ ] is
down there. It's you. Because he's an
unreliable narrator. We're seeing it as
if he's telling the truth all the time
because we witness what he witnessed,
but
>> he's an unreliable narrator. I'm going
to come back here with proof and you're
going to owe me a serious [ __ ]
apology.
>> Pause. Cuz why hasn't he done that? Like
before he even goes, why didn't he get
proof? Because he obviously sees the
camera that's in the back rooms. So, he
knows that he technically can bring the
camera down there. And even just footage
of the initial room would be proof
enough, right?
Do you see also how the sky the clouds
are not moving? I just have to point
that out. The clouds are completely
still and it is like painted. Like the
nothing is moving, guys.
>> I mean, right. You see see it's um it's
fine.
>> Where are we?
>> That's what I'm trying to figure out.
>> Like I just don't know why he doesn't
tell them more before they go through
cuz I think he just I think he wanted to
feed that beast. That's my theory is
that he wanted to feed the beast.
>> Is it part of your store?
>> If it belongs to someone, I haven't met
him yet.
>> Liar. Liar. I don't know why. I just am
like liar. Like he's a liar. Like
>> Okay, just tell him just one thing. If I
don't come back, you'll tell my mom I
love her, right?
>> Okay.
>> You see how Clark was like, I will cuz
he knows what the [ __ ] is about to go
down. I don't know.
>> Tell him what you need.
>> Oh, this shot was so good. It looks so
crazy.
>> Like, girl, that's your shirt, [ __ ] Is
that my sweater? Okay.
Ew. I know it's the head. Like, I know
it's the head of just like the cardboard
cutout that the [ __ ] entity ate and
like threw against the wall and tried to
eat because it thought it was a real
person. But still, it actually like
gives my Oh.
I don't know why it freaks me out
so bad.
>> Hey, uh, let's
>> This was like the den. And I think Clark
knew that this was the den. I I think he
knew that. And you knew that.
>> It's okay.
>> What did you say
>> here? Hey, what kind of [ __ ] KNOT IS
THIS?
>> What kind of knot is this?
>> I think he did it on purpose.
>> Like, they didn't stand a chance. I'm
sorry. Like, they really like held him
for two seconds. [snorts]
Ew. I don't know. I think it was the
perfect combination of found footage and
not found footage. I think like this
little like segment I think like it
balanced out the whole movie so
perfectly. I don't know. I'm just like a
backrooms defender. Like I really do
love it. And maybe I don't know. I just
think Barbara looked really different in
the picture that they show of Barbara.
Like I don't know. I just don't feel
like this business lady looked like
Barbara at all. Obviously she has like
seven different eyes, but still in just
like an aesthetics alone like she didn't
have like a bob. Cuz okay, we get more
information. and she's kind of living in
this her mom's an agoraphobe
hoarder. It's not a safe living
situation. She's dealing with neglect.
And this also another theory is that the
mom found an opening to the backrooms
and that's why she developed this sort
of schizophrenia or like this um became
an agorophobe. Um I don't really know. I
I don't really know. And that's kind of
the thing I wish we had a little bit
more of an understanding with is Mary
and her mother. I think it's cool that
you can kind of theorize a little bit
and maybe it's more clear-cut than I
realize. Maybe I'm just not watching it
correctly. I do think that Mary has a
connections to the back rooms before
Clark.
>> I opened the window. I won't be coming
back.
>> How'd he get a phone? Did he call her
before he went down there or did he come
out to tell her to lure her back in
because he knew he needed to feed the
entity more and he knew that she would
come, right? Also, again, no clouds ever
move within this movie. A cloud has
never moved.
I wish flies disappeared like that.
Oh, now I'm the bad guy. Now I'm the bad
guy cuz I don't like flies. Oh, okay.
Oh, I love this effect they you love the
lens that they use for when they're kind
of entering the back rooms. I love this
like wide. It's a little bit distorted
and it looks so in their face. I love
it. I love it. It looks so good.
Also, where did the furniture go? There
was a huge stack of furniture when he
first goes in here. Did he move all of
that? Cuz that was a lot. And some of it
didn't look like it was only on the
surface. Some of it looked like it was
in the floor. So, what happened to all
that furniture? Cuz it's the same exact
entrance that when he enters in the
first place. Was it there when Cat and
Bobby went in?
He's right behind me, isn't he? Oh my
god. [laughter]
too loud.
[laughter]
>> It's only me.
You know me.
>> It's only me. You know me. And you know
that.
>> You've always known that.
See, her dreams are so interesting and
her memories are so interesting. And if
Backrooms is all about misremembering
things and the memory of something on
the original plane, does she misremember
things when she's looking back at her
childhood?
This was the best possible way to
visualize the back rooms and the descent
within them. I think it was perfect. I
think you needed that like visual of how
much worse it gets the deeper you go cuz
sometimes it just devolves less but then
it starts creating new pathways. Like
she says earlier, you want to break and
your mind wants to go through the same
pathway every time because it's
familiar, but you want to make a new one
and it's so interesting that it devolves
and then creates something new.
>> I don't know. I think it's a good movie,
guys. I don't know what you guys are
talking about. This is the best movie.
>> Somewhere out there is a guy in a
striped shirt, but in here he's
remembered.
>> Cuz is it Barbara in the back? I just
feel like it doesn't look like Barbara.
And I know it's not supposed to look
like Barbara, but like that is like two
different types of red hair, but
everyone says it's Barbara. Everyone
says it's Barbara. Everyone says it's
wife, so I'll just believe it. And how
she's so scared of him. And so I get it.
I get it.
>> The best part,
>> you can eat them. Ready?
[laughter]
[gasps] The best part,
you can eat them. Like, can you eat him?
It doesn't really look like something
you can eat. [panting and crying]
>> It's my uh assistant manager.
>> I think he kept Cat's head to feed to
the entity. And that's why he called
Mary down so he could have something new
to feed to the entity. Right.
>> BLAME YOUR BRAIN. YOU ARE YOUR [ __ ]
BRAIN, YOU [ __ ]
>> You are your [ __ ] brain, you [ __ ]
Period. And she ate him up. For the
first time in a long time, I feel like
I'm like I'm right where I'm supposed to
be. Oh,
>> he's such a good character. He's so sad.
It's so interesting to see someone dive
into this hell-like space and say, "I
belong here, and I I I like it here." I
don't know. It's so interesting.
Look at her. Look at her. Do you see
that? That's the fastest anyone's ever
been.
[screaming] Cuz
what is the difference between the still
lives and the entities? Like why does
like his memory of himself within the
back rooms is so harmful and violent
whereas some other people's memories in
the back rooms are just existing.
>> Oh, I hated that she stopped right here.
like you need to keep it moving.
Oh
my god. But it's like when did we get to
like how do you get to those rooms that
have like this open ending right here?
Like does anybody ever get to those
rooms where it's like an open ending
that doesn't come through like an a
door? When is a door not a door
when it's a jar?
Oh,
[panting]
you see how it never Oh, that was like
about maybe like a 4 second fall. Isn't
like every second like 100 ft or
something? I don't know. I think I just
made that up. Like, [ __ ] move the
[ __ ] tip that cabinet over that
[ __ ] hole cuz she just went up. So,
she came from a lower level, so she went
up a level and she's going up another
level. So, she's evolving. She's not
devolving down into the back room. She's
going back up. But this is still not
original plane.
This is still a back room. Like whack
that freaking leg.
Yep.
Oh my god.
What? And what was this? Why did that
trigger something? Was that always like
the safeguard point? Like, was the man
always the safeguard point of the
cardboard cutout to reach that in case
things went ary?
Come on, girl.
Get up. I need you TO GET UP. OH MY GOD.
And the entity bleeds cuz the still
lives don't bleed and don't feel pain,
but the entities do. The entity feels
pain.
And if the hazmat people nuked her with
the [ __ ]
fog
is
>> and Clark obviously saw the hazmat suit
people cuz they were on the drawing
within the wall. Why didn't they get him
out? I don't know. Like why were they
just letting him live there? Because he
was the entity and they wanted to see
what would happen. It's like trying to
see like if you see your own
doppelganger, don't run. Like if you
were trapped in a room with your
doppelganger. Uh first thing
um could you establish how you uh got in
here?
>> So that is not an entrance point. They
are in the back rooms as they speak.
What?
What the [ __ ] The scientist lab is in
the back rooms.
>> Were you looking for this man right
here?
>> Why did they redact Captain Clark? Why
did they redact Captain Clark? Like we
can see it,
>> but I don't understand it. I don't I I I
can't even describe it
>> now. You want me to describe it?
>> Pause. That's interesting because you
would have thought if they wanted to
know someone, if they wanted to explore
it more and they kept seeing Clark
explore the backroom so intently and so
filled with curiosity that they would
have gone in to get him to make him part
of the research, but they didn't. So
that means that there's something that
happens that they see between him and
Captain Clark that they can't trust him
to go back in and fully dive into the
research of it all and find out more
about it. Because if anything, Clark's
amount of time within the back rooms is
so much further than Mary's. Mary's
there for maybe a few hours, not even.
She's really there for such a short
amount of time. I guess we don't really
know because she gets she passes out.
Clark has been there for days and they
still didn't go in and get him. Even
though they know that he has this
intense curiosity about the bathrooms
and they still don't go in and get him.
Even though that would be the perfect
prime subject to go in and test further
of the bathroom. Someone that has almost
little to no fear about what's going to
happen down there. Someone who has such
a direct correlation to the entity
consuming people down there. But they
didn't. So that means they saw something
within those few weeks that they could
not go in to get him, but they went in
immediately to get Mary.
>> What's going to happen to me, Phil?
>> That decision is not up to me.
>> Like, who is it up to then?
>> He's like, you're not leaving here
anytime soon, sister. That's so sad.
They just went in for overtime and then
they died.
>> [screaming]
>> It makes me It creeps me the freak out.
I don't know why this one really just
shiver me timbers on that one. That one
like actually she looks so [ __ ]
creepy, bro. Like she actually looks so
actually so [ __ ] creepy. Also, people
not that people are stupid. I think that
everybody was really confused by that
part because they were like, "Did they
just put her in the back rooms to like
rot away forever?" And like obviously um
not obviously because I'm sure there's a
lot of things within this video that are
obvious and that I didn't catch, but I
think that at the end obviously it is
just the remembered version of her down
deeper within the levels of the
backrooms of the original plane, which
is her talking to Phil. The only thing
that is interesting or kind of off about
that is why isn't there a remembered
version of Phil and why isn't there a
remembered version of the hazmat suit
people? Why isn't there a remembered
version of a lot of things, right? And
that's that kind of is my more question
about the logistics and like the like
world of the back rooms is the memory of
it all because we can obviously see that
it's taking memory of her and all right.
So, we see this in uh the the
demonstration of going deeper down
within the back rooms that some things
get lost and then it opens up a new
path. So, that could also be the case
that it doesn't remember Phil because um
there's not as a big of a a foundation
to his original plain self. In my
opinion, I think that the entities and
the still lives grow more when they are
stagnant in life and when they are more
um isolated and lonely. I think that it
remembers them more. And I think that
was also interesting to see the memory
of Mary as a still life instead of an
entity like Captain Clark. So, she
wasn't remembered down there or created
as this harmful entity. She was
remembered in a way that just existed
and felt no pain um like the other still
lives within the movie. I really loved
Backrams. The moment I saw it, I really
had such a fun time with it. I loved the
concept. I think there's so much meat
and juice to the story that you can
elaborate on and it definitely seems
like that's something that they plan to
do because it is such a more vague
concept of the world. I think the story
line is pretty straightforward of Mary
and Clark and kind of this um repressed
trauma that they deal with and how it
comes out in different ways. After
watching it the second time, I still do
wish I got a little bit more from Mary's
character. I think that her story was
actually quite compelling and I think I
just wished we got a little bit more
[clears throat]
clarity a little bit about her character
and about obviously it's this whole
thing she's struggling with her
childhood and her mother and and her
therapy of going back to bad memories or
isolated tendencies is because it's a
familiar place to you obviously applies
to herself and in the end we see her
break that and create a new pathway
right she takes something from her past
that is keeping her within this isolated
lonely place and uses it to escape the
backrooms and escape that and make a new
path. I think I just wanted more from
her because I thought found her
character and her backstory to be
interesting and her mother and what that
really meant. I think that the two mains
just did an amazing job and I think they
really just I don't know were super
compelling. I loved their journeys. I
think that Clark, we really got this
full story from him and we really got to
see the decline of it all. And then I
think I just wanted a little bit more
from Mary and a little bit more on the
company at hand. I think it's like a
very main character right up front and
then we kind of lose it and then at the
end it's just kind of like like we're
just trying to figure it out too. But
