Not sure how well this will work as a feature-length film, but fingers crossed. Still can't believe it was directed by a (now) 20-year-old.

I feel like there is a backstory here.

Was this a short story/film previously?

Started as a creepypasta and then was made into a web series on YouTube by the director of the feature-length film.

as long as it remains something with Kane Pixels at the top of it or head of it it should be alright.

He wrote (along with a couple of other people) and directed the movie.

Basically stolen from the book House of Leaves.

Which was heavily inspired by HP Lovecraft's use of the concept of non-Euclidean geometry in his stories.

So I watched the trailer and have been reading up a little on it this morning.

Is the series of videos on youtube worth watching? Per Wiki there are 23 episodes totaling ~ 170 minutes. That's a lot of time, but I don't mind watching one here or there if they are any good. I do enjoy nosleep/creepypasta type stuff when it's creative and interesting, and this one seems like it could be.

Those backrooms creep me the frick out. Why Files did a show on them and I couldn't finish watching it. No way I would go see this movie. I am a middle aged man and since I became grown up, no scary movies have ever bothered me. And then they come up with this shite.

i think he's past the backrooms phase though; 3 or 4 years ago its all he could talk about.

can't believe they're making a movie out of this.

my kid evolved from:

- sirenhead to SCP (lord help me he had about 400 different SCP creatures memorized along with what each could do) to backrooms and then he got a console and switched to the relatively tame world of minecraft and roblox.

i even bought art from goodwill and snuck sirenheads into the background of the paintings.

we found an abandoned building with the lights still working and he was CONVINCED it was backrooms. we played there for like 2 straight hours

I have absolutely no idea what the frick you're talking about. Explain it to me like I'm 5 please. I assume you're talking about gaming or specific games of some type?
