Hi! I am thinking about going to see the Backrooms movie but I am wondering how scary is it? The combination of it being rated R and a horror film has me worried. Are there any jump scares? Because if there is are I am definitely not going to see it. I can't handle jump scares. Thanks for helping me out with this.
We all know the Still Life. But due to recent spoilers such as the image recently uploaded of the credits, we know there are 3 (possibly 4) Still Lives in the movie. I have come to a conclusion of their origins based off of what we have gotten so far.
Still Lives are undead.
Now you may be saying "But Kane said that this wasn't a zombie story and that people don't become the monsters!!!" But that's not what I mean by undead!
Now, we know that Still Lives are most likely failed recreations of people, a more advanced version of the Lifeform perhaps. But I propose that the reason they are so flawed isn't because of the Complex failing to mimic, it's plenty good at that, it's because it is mimicking the wrong thing.
Living organisms are constantly moving and changing, they would be hard to replicate by something that is used to recreating unchanging rooms and objects. It's recreation of the Hay Bacillus bacteria, while successful, was flawed because it cannot successfully recreate a living and moving organism. The Complex then looked to what seemed human and living enough but wasn't. In its attempts to make a human it began mimicking a combination of corpses and art, this is backed up by 3 pieces of evidence from movie spoilers.
The still lives are made of something resembling modelling clay. We know this because in the description of the movie's violence on some website that I forgot the same of it said that a hand reaches into a humanoid's body and pulls out a gray mass. This gray mass could possibly be something similar to modelling clay which is (obviously) used for modelling statues and sculptures.
Archibald Leland Sutter was a Canadian soldier during WWI, whether this is the correct person the Still life is based on or not, it tells us real people are being mimicked and made into Still Lives. Even the Bearded Still Life mentioned could possibly even be the Wall Dad or something.
Pirate Clark is mentioned in the credits and played by Robert Bobroczkyi and could possibly be a recreation of the mannequin dressed as a pirate seen during clips of Cap'n Clark's Ottoman Empire, as it seems a combination of the mannequin and Clark himself serve as the mascots for his store.
This all leads me to believe that not only are Still Lives failed copies of humans made using statues and art as reference like we already thought, but they are also attempts to copy corpses. And that the Complex is a lazy bum which can't bother to try and recreate a moving subject, what a CHUD lol.
I was bored so I drew these in career ed.
So hyped for this movie been waiting since 2021 for this I was in 7th grade. Now I’m graduating feels crazy it’s happening
Btw the picture of Bill on the right is in the backrooms hobbytown.
I organized an AMA/Q&A with Kane Parsons, director of A24's upcoming horror film BACKROOMS. It's out in theaters everywhere on 5/29 and stars Chiwetel Ejiofor, Renate Reinsve, and Mark Duplass. The movie is based on his Youtube series.

Thank you :)
I don't know where else or who else would enjoy such a video as this, so I assume the community here would take a look at this. I built pretty much 94% of Kanes entire (so far) mapped Complex, with all Found Footages, the isometric map from 'presentation' and IVN Mashup song map that was scrolling in the video. This map is impossibly large. One day I will upload this so others can get lost. I have an older version on PlanetMinecraft under the name novembercorp, but its immature compared to this map. Hope yall enjoy anyway!!
Feel free to add a song that you feel like will fit the tone, atmosphere, and vibe to the movie. I put "I love My Job" as the opening sequence song.
What the hell could this scene possibly be I’m so stumped, Clark Looks Beat but he’s in a backrooms kitchen and not to mention the buck knife I don’t even know how this scene would even work?! My theory is that maybe him and Mary are sitting across from each other but I don’t know
how would you feel about him going insane, the backrooms turning him obsessive?
I don’t think there was any characters that wore this outfit, so… My guess is probably a Still Life? I dunno, I was just looking through some stuff and saw it there.
Could also probably just be a mannequin.
