Would totally watch you guys react to Kane’s backrooms stuff on youtube. Even if it had to just be here on patreon.

2026-09-06 11:00 I’ll give a bit of context on where the Backrooms came from and how much of an impact Kane had on them: It all started with a single real image that looked like an endless office space, posted anonymously on 4chan back in 2019, along with the famous text: “If you’re not careful and noclip out of reality… God save you if you hear something wandering around nearby, because it sure as hell has heard you.” That one image + the creepy text somehow turned into a huge internet phenomenon. A couple of years later, 16 Y.O Kane Pixels (the movie director, who is now 21) uploaded his Backrooms Found Footage series, which he made almost entirely in CGI. He took that original concept of the 4chan picture and expanded it into something much bigger, and that’s when people really started making theories, lore, and all kinds of explanations around it. It’s honestly kind of like the Five Nights at Freddy’s community. Both started as indie internet projects, and the fans are a huge reason they became what they are today. Now there are MORE THAN A THOUSAND Backrooms games, a massive fandom, and even a Wikipedia page dedicated to it. The whole concept is also tied to liminal spaces, which is why everything feels weirdly familiar while also being really unsettling. I think Kane absolutely nailed that feeling, and the movie captures that same vibe really well. PD: If you liked the movie and have time, PLEASE react to Kane Pixels’ YouTube series. It’s what put him on the map and eventually led to him getting the chance to make this film, they’re INCREDIBLY well done. He also made VHS style footage of Attack On Titan, and another (shorter) series he made himself called “The Oldest View”. I recommend checking them out because there’s a chance we may not be getting a second part to this movie, since A24 recently signed an AI contract with google and Kane is against all that stuff.

Some time later, someone else added the famous text: “If you're not careful and you noclip out of reality in the wrong areas, you'll end up in the Backrooms, where it's nothing but the stink of old, moist carpet, the madness of mono-yellow, the endless background noise of fluorescent lights at maximum hum-buzz, and approximately six hundred million square miles of randomly segmented empty rooms to be trapped in.

I used to have such an obsession with late night binges of backroom vids this is so peak

Sharpgirl

Streamable must love having you guys as clients

Seth

Very interesting movie. My Dad and I saw it together, and we liked it a lot. Personally, I think it had some missed potential. We saw Clark taking furniture out of the Backrooms, and I think that was hinting at him selling it in his store, but the idea there wasn't really fleshed out. Would've been cool to, for example, see his business bounce back, explore his life a bit more, and so on, eventually culminating in people at the company recognizing the furniture upon seeing it somewhere (a family member bought one or something), which leads to Clark being tracked down. That felt pretty obvious to me, and I'm a bit disappointed it didn't go that route (would've made it a 9/10 for me), but to be fair, it would've required a lot more runtime and a bigger budget, which wasn't very realistic given their constraints. That aside, the discussion was really nice. Always enjoy how open you guys are about your experiences, thoughts, etc.

M

I love this film!!!! One of my fav films from this year

Kenneth Figueroa

I suggest you guys watch some of his short films on YouTube on your own so you get a kind of idea of what the backrooms is it’s really interesting what’s he does and there are multiple short films on how the backrooms kinda came to life

BlakedAsFuh

Great Movie, Kane killed it!

BlakedAsFuh

The 2nd movie is already officially in early development lol

Justin Russell

I personally liked this one more than Obsession. Obsession was more thrilling than horror. I love as someone who hasn’t seen the back room videos on YouTube and never saw a trailer, there’s a lot they didn’t answer. People today need every detail of a movie answered to them and to me some of the best movies leave so many questions for the audience that they want answered. I gave obsession a 3/5 this would probably have to be a 3.75/5, the atmosphere and tension that built off such a unique environment was fantastic.

Hazzel

And also his Attack on Titan stuff too

Mari Vaz

Is great to watch a reaction by ppl that don't know the internet lore of Backrooms And I was very happy that the movie did not tried to explain itself

BlakedAsFuh

Not sure but it says Kane is looking to make it with a new screenwriter

Ac7iv3

If you wanna check out more please make a video checking his backrooms series out! He has a official Playlist to view in order, he has listed it for viewers. He doesn't strike down reactions to it since he has publicly said its perfectly fine to react to his stuff so you wont have to do much editing! Fun fact: he is mostly behind nearly all of the soundtracks for the backrooms and he has great tracks in the series (his music is copyright free too) the movie wasnt able to use most but atleast some of it. Id love for you to check out his series since it actually tells alot more about the setting you guys didnt pick up on which is okay, the series describes and goes way more in depth.

Ac7iv3

As a nearly day 1 fan of KP work on the backrooms, id say he put his foot and fist in this movie! The way he utilized his technique in movie form was really nice and innovative alongside with his sound work and soundtracks that worked so well inside the BR's scenes. I too initially was a bit off guard by the end with it ending abruptly like that, but KP usually ends his big videos in a ambiguous way too with you wanting more answers until the next upload so maybe that was built it into the script! I give this film a great 5/5 for me! 🔥

Azmoz

Excited to rewatch this with you guys. Kane did a great job and the movie is very good. My friends and I were talking about it for a while after and I love Kane's philosophy of not explaining things and trusting the audience to get their own perspective. It's a 4/5 for me! I second the idea of watching some of his YT works - The Oldest View is awesome!

J C

You guys definitely need to react to the youtube series. I believe it's already confirmed that the movie is a direct continuation of the series on 'kane pixels' YouTube, with a new video coming out this week that is supposedly tied to this universe.

melrr

Another fun fact for the BM crew: The original image posted on 4chan that inspired the Backrooms was taken in '02 in a former furniture store in Oshkosh, Wisconsin

Mintteacup

Thought it was alright, I didn't particularly care about the Therapist or whatever was going on with her mother though. It feels like it ended with a sequel in mind. Personally I prefer my Backrooms or just Liminal spaces in general without entities, i think that's creepier but at least it didn't take from more recent backrooms stuff where every floor is documented as well as every entity or even the tiktok brainrot side of it.

Knightmare

Backrooms is so phenomenal. Amazing that a 20 year old could make something so high quality based on a very skim Creepypasta

I'm Batman

As a movie I liked this more than Obsession personally. And I hadn't thought of it until it was brought up in this reaction but it does have a very Stranger Things feeling to it, I wonder if Kane drew inspiration from the show when he started the yt videos. It's a dimesion that's a copy of the "real world" that has its own entities and has very hush hush experiments being done on it. Not sure if I like the monster in this movie if I'm being honest, kinda looks goofy to me but that's just my opinion. I was rewatching all the yt videos of these a couple of weeks ago to refresh my brain on them, still have like 2 more videos to watch before finishing it but I prefer those videos more than the movie. Still, with all that being said I did enjoy this film and besides how Pirate Clark looks everything was great to me. I'll give this a solid 4/5.

Smuckfuzzer

I was scrolling through Kane's Youtube channel and forgot that he made a bunch of Attack on Titan animations.

Dylan Hearts

I'm pleasantly shocked at how much I loved this film. Easily my fave movie of 2026 (yes, better than Obsession and Project Hail Mary). The acting is really good at selling this dreadful feeling of something wrong in the environment and slowly turning to the feeling that actually something wrong inside people's minds. I love especially how Kane decided to end this story - on the eerie memory. Brilliant, absolutely legendary stuff - on visual, directing, sound design, set decoration and acting front. Definitely a cult movie for the generations to come. Even bad sequel can't spoil this achievement.

Crystal

First I have to say for Kane to have been approached by A24 at 16, still in high school, and to create and direct this film and it be as good as it is I’m blown away. It makes me rate this higher than most. Also the concept is really interesting, and almost executed perfectly. I think 1-2 more scenes expanding on Async and from when she left the Backrooms to the end would have made things easier to understand, because in the theater so many people were leaving saying it was trash. However I disagree I went 2 times to watch it in theaters because I love it that much. Here is my take on the story: The Backrooms is a mind, not a place. Clark calls it “everything that has ever been,” an imperfect copy of the real world. It remembers and re-remembers places and things that happened/are currently happening to you. The same way memories evolve the more you remember them and fade, is the same things that happens to the rooms. The Still Lifes are malformed copies of people who got lost in the Backrooms or distorted versions of people from your memories. Async found the Backrooms. They made MRI machines and their tech opened a door into it. A medical imaging company opening a portal into the mind essentially. But they’re not the good guys. The footage Phil shows Mary is redacted with some blackouts and researchers go in daily and die. Clark is a failed architect, divorced, drinking, refusing responsibility. He diagnoses himself in therapy then does nothing with it. Captain Clark is Still Life copy of Clark, but since the Backrooms remembers things badly it remembers him as a monster. It killing Bobby and Kat, represents how his ego drags people down with him literally. Kat dies behind a one way window screaming at him to turn around while he can’t see her. So she’s literally trying to tell Clark about the danger of himself to both of them, but since he’s too focused on screaming at a wall, never actually seeing Kat, he never turns around and Captain Clark gets them both and kills her which is very metaphorical to dealing with someone who refuses to face themselves. It’s kind’ve the whole point of the movie in one shot. Eventually offscreen he does face himself, but instead of “dying to self” he embraces and starts acting as his worst self and kidnaps Mary and mutilates the Still Lifes. When he has Mary role play Barbara his ex wife, it’s because he wants it to end in forgiveness, without changing how that conversation went or himself. The second he almost gets it, his own monster/ego eats him. Mary was raised by a schizophrenic agoraphobic mother in a house with the windows covered. Her mom got institutionalized and she couldn’t save her. So she wrote a book called The Window Within. The infomercial says “break through the pane.” She’s selling what she couldn’t do for the one person who mattered. The concrete she beats the monster with is from her demolished childhood home. The failure she could never let go of is the only thing that works. So she’s a therapist literally using her failure as a tool to kill monsters/the monsters in her patients. The Backrooms re-remembers her house until it’s an empty room with a hallway. So after re-remembering and slowly stripping away this barricaded room, it becomes nothing but an exit to move on. Nothing is holding her there anymore. The last shot is a Still Life of Mary in a botched copy of the interrogation room she was in with Phil because the Backrooms has already started copying her and that room is where she first starts dealing with the trauma of the Backrooms. So Clark dies because he wouldn’t confront himself, Mary survives and gets copied anyway because of new trauma and escaping fixes nothing. The wounds we incur just build new rooms, to be re-remembered until they don’t even resemble the original all while new wounds create new rooms.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Lulu

Doing a first time watch with yall! Lets see what the hype is all about

Fee

After watching this all I can say is….. WTF?!?!? 🤣🤣

Wonderxfull

I really liked this movie, I think it did a good job of capturing the eerie liminal feeling that the Backrooms has. I would really like to see a reaction to the original youtube videos that Kane made.

H

i do like it when DD is on the reactions, hes always super focused on the film and makes sure the others stay focused too cause sometimes they wander off on tangents or look away during potential jumpscare moments, which is cheating lol. But overall i give the movie 3/5, it kept you engaged the whole way through

Mister Lou

I feel like the therapist had a book about going through the window because she's projecting her own longing to see what's outside, because her mother seemed agoraphobic and wouldn't let her even look outside a window. So when she snapped at Clark she was really telling off her mom. And when she finally said "I can't help you" she kind of realized that she couldn't help her mom, so her own pursuit of helping others because she was too young to help her mom felt like a regretful statement about her life choices.

dreams⁷

I was already subscribed to Kane when he did his backrooms videos cause I found him from his Attack on Titan historical footages (which i highly recommend you guys to watch) it's so cool to see creative people achieve and get what they deserve

Marie RammGirl

Soooo my interpretation from this movie is that the 'Backrooms' is like a 'Prison' in their mind & the 'Monsters' chasing them is their 'Head Demons' & the person's Psyche gets into such a deep, dark place that they are (mentally) devoured by these head demons & just remain in those 'Backrooms' forever (like what happened to Clark) not sure if that was a real organisation or if that was all in Mary's mind as we see her fate at the end there, a very unsettling film. I don't know what was more amusing, Oak's jumpscare over the bird or the cardboard cut out of a person hehe. 🤣

Magda Chonillo

I think one interesting thing is that Kane Parsons didn't actually create the Backrooms or liminal spaces. Liminal spaces are an older concept: familiar places like offices, schools, malls, or hotels that feel unsettling because they're completely empty, making your brain feel like something is "off." The Backrooms themselves started as an internet story from a viral 4chan post in 2019. Kane took that idea and built his own mythology around it through analog horror and found footage. And about Kane Parsons' work is that he's never confirmed a single explanation for what's actually happening. That's very intentional—like many filmmakers, he seems to prefer letting people come up with their own interpretations. If you end up watching his original Backrooms series on YouTube, you'll get a lot more context about A-Sync and what that MRI company is actually doing. I won't spoil it, but it definitely expands the lore beyond what the movie shows (and it might even be something the sequel explores further). The interesting part is that, even though it's never said to be the subconscious or a dream, it *feels* like one. I think that's an artistic choice. It's like remembering the school you went to 25 years ago—you remember the hallways and classrooms, but not every detail. Your brain fills in the gaps, so everything feels familiar... yet strangely wrong. The Backrooms work the same way. That's why so many people compare them to memories, nostalgia, or dreams: familiar places reconstructed from fragments, but stripped of context, people, and purpose. To me, that's why the movie isn't really about monsters or jump scares. The real horror is the unsettling feeling of being trapped in a place that should feel familiar, but somehow feels completely detached from reality, that's where the horror really comes from.

LilithCain

It's a very, very different vibe from this movie...but the boys should watch "Dave Made a Maze" (2017)

Eboe Thrasher

Something this whack starting out on 4chan really checks out for me.

Eboe Thrasher

I kinda love being disconnected from social media and popular culture in general, because I never hear about things . I had no clue about any of the stuff people are talking about. So I don't even see what the fuss is all about. This just came across as weird.

Gabby

Saw this in theaters and loved it

Gabby

Rewatching with you guyses 😁

tom

nobody recognized that Bobby was played by the actor who played Aerion Targaryen in AKOTSK?????

Matthew Glover

Unrelated to to this movie,but its been announced recently that "Cyberpunk:Edgerunners" season 2 is officially releasing later this year. It would be a perfect time to jump into it. I know none of you have experience with the game,but its seriously not needed and actually better that you dont know anything about the game. But since you guys loved Arcane so much,i really think you guys would enjoy this just as much. Incredible story,all the action you could want,amazing music and characters,and honestly rivals arcane in terms of unique art and design. You guys really need to watch it!!

Jacob

Yeah this movie sucked. Of course my opinion but what the heck did I just watch.

Hakuna

It’s subjective of course but i thought it was a pretty consistent allegory throughout for dementia/alzheimers or perhaps other forms of mental deterioration. For Clark the actual rooms are a personal conflict of his architectural passion with the unwanted familiarity of furniture constantly seeping through and taking over, this is why his personal shop is even incorporated when mary tries to escape. Clark believes the people and objects throughout are everything to have existed but as a distorted memory warping the reality. ‘’The untrained mind accumulates loops, habits, behaviours that keep you drifting in circles, creating the problems, reaching for the same solutions over and over again, still it’s the neural pathway of least resistance’’, this is repeated after showing the mother in a wheelchair in a mentally deteriorated state, followed by the visual representation of the process using the familiarity of the home becoming increasingly more warped and confusing with each level before eventually you have an empty room with no doors or windows but a black void. The fact that it all ties into an MRI company researching at the end just further adds to the idea.

Delphine

YES I've been saying! Finally someone talks about it😂
