I could be biased because I am a huge backrooms fan and someone who is very sensitive to the eerie effect of liminal spaces, but I seriously loved it. Even though the kane parsons canon is fundamentally VERY different from our canon, and I love this canon more (I've authored levels here), the movie NAILED the nostalgic, eerie liminal space effect better than any backrooms media I have seen. The whole time I was glued to my seat, feeling the same way I felt when I discovered this wiki for the first time.

The acting, cinematography were of phenomenal quality, and the wider implications and implicit meanings of the movie were so beautiful because of they were so psychologically disturbing and related to what makes the backrooms so unnerving. Incredibly thought provoking. These meanings were hard to capture, but those who are smart and attentive enough to understand them definitely would appreciate it. It left many questions unanswered (obviously), and eerie confusion but I think the backrooms should be that way and I'm glad they did that.

There are quite a lot of criticism on social media, and of course its fine to not like the movie, though a lot of the criticisms I found unfair. Understanding the implicit things in the movie requires a certain attentiveness and cognitive ability I think a lot of people did not have, with many people saying they were confused about the message, and did not like how many questions were unanswered. I know this is part of the point though and compliments the eerie awe the backrooms should establish. I also think if you feel no nostalgia/curiosity/disturbance when viewing liminal spaces you may not appreciate the movie as much, and you're not the target audience. Many people commented on that it was slow, and thats a criticism I do not really understand because I was shocked the movie ended when it did, if it was 3 hours long I would not have noticed. It is a slower burn horror movie (in a nice way though), I do think people may have quite a short attention span in todays age, and expected the viral AI backrooms tik tok content type of backrooms.

That are my thoughts, for those of you who have seen it, what did you think?

And umm whoever the writer of the actor is

These are the only two drafts I care about. Open season for whoever feels like hunting through my old sandbox links.

What do you guys think about it? Do you think it will cause another wave of backrooms popularity? Maybe quite a few levels from this website… will be in the movie? 👀

Hello, all. I'm writing this thread because I - casually involved in this community since May 2025 - have only now learned about the pedophilic nature of etoisle's ban, something which I had to learn through a user linking me, during a conversation where I had complimented etoisle's work, unaware of all this, to an informal staff member's writeup of how they were involved in the predatory Backrooms administration of etoisle.

Maybe it's my fault I didn't know beforehand, and I should have read the room or something. Maybe I should have looked into it on my own accord. Fine, I'll concede that. But frankly, I think that's a ridiculous way to learn about something which is important knowledge for any serious member of the Backrooms Wiki. By having this information available on the Clearnet it prevents people from making awkward mistakes like I did, and allows staff to show a narrative surrounding any given ban.

I think the O5Command wiki (SCP staff wiki) does a fantastic job at this, and the TS staff should model a thread (one like the thread which I linked and which, shamefully, has remained untouched for over a year!) around the way SCP staff does it, adjusting for the tighter-knit community, so that there can be a reliable source of truth regarding these banned users.

Why should it be that you have to join a Discord to even have the potential to learn about basic Backrooms Wiki user history?

I'd like to point to the sister SCP wiki again: a user of comparable status and wrongdoing, Bright, has had some notable action taken against them. Anyone who is interested in the SCP wiki is immediately and smoothly notified by a bulletin of Bright's abuse. Their pages are blanked! There's a basic writeup from staff of what went wrong that pops up on Google. Why is it that we can't match that as a site?

If we have already discussed this, why is there no public record of that?

(that last line is why i've ported this thread over here — i'd like, if someone googles etoisle ban, for this to at least have the chance to come up.)

Who no-clipped here from his locality.

This place was so weird.

With all that he feared.

He has lost all sense of normality.

But I feel like we've lost who we are.
I think the original thing that made The backrooms appealing was the unknown.
I like all the levels, all the factions, humanity forced to near the bottom of the food chain, yet they still push on.
But I think we need to push back to that unknown.
So, I would like to request something of y'all, of all of you.
One big tale, collection of multiple authors, each helping each other, every one of them pushing.
One final push for the people that we write, the characters we bring together, that we give life, to reach the end. The true end.
One last big tale.
One last push.
I don't want to see our site die.
Because, we are like humanity, we push through everything to seek one more step, to live.
And with that final step, we will give a new beginning.
We
Will
Push

I think it was kinda harsh to be forced to be put as level and make them cease out of existence on the wiki

And to be honest… they don't actually…fit as a level because they are too small to be a level

I want to hear your thoughts about this

What is your definition of the clinical tone?

Give me your honest answer, develop it as much as you desire. I will attempt to use your answers for a section of that essay.

To those who will contribute, thank you.
