THIS MOVIE WAS CRAZY GOOD - 9/10

The ending was a little confusing(what isn't about the backrooms) but it felt just a tad weak to me. I really hope we get a sequel where we can learn about the outside world and Async a little more. Anyway, below are some thoughts and theories about the movie! Feel free to share anything you caught.

Okay, this may be just a me thing, but when Kat is behind the wall she thinks is made of glass, I don't think thats Kat. I 100% think thats a lifeform mimicking her voice like we've seen in pitfalls. Was I the only person who got the impression? It feels eerily similar to the ending of Found Footage #3. My thing is then how did her head appear in the fridge later on. But I suppose, even if it was her, he couldn't even get to her immediately anyway bc there wasn't a door there.

I really think the lifeform was just trying to get him to the wall so he wasnt trying to think of a way to escape.

Anyways, moving on to other matters:

Seriously, this movie was insane.

We now have more entity types, ones that are literally nonhostile(and edible ig). In the scene where they are talking within the backrooms, we do see what looks to be a type of milk in their cups, I believe that may be almond water from popular backrooms lore, making it compliant with Kane Parson's versions.

We also see that you may be able to connect with your version within the complex. They may look very different, but I think how aggressive your alternate is may depend on your mental state. Allowing the complex to remember human bodies and their brains.

It takes things from our world and alters them to perhaps a varying degree of perhaps their mental health. Also, we don't see other versions of animals, which strikes me as strange. This makes my theory more concrete for me, as consciousness to a humans level is strikingly rare and while there are other intelligent species, we have found nothing exactly like us.

We also have a lot more on Async. They were an MRI company, until.they opened the door to the complex. We see their name tags. They carry bags around. There are different colored suits(perhaps for different jobs or rankings. They have found ways to hide their bags around the complex. They know about more doors than just the one in the furniture store. We also know that they have set up cameras and found a gas that works as a toxin on the life forms within the complex(wonder how long that took. We see theyve installed cameras and audio files around the place, rigging it with traps to alert them when an entity nears it.

I presume they are testing the entities awareness and intelligence via these. I've also seen a lot of references and such to the found footages.

In my hypothesis, this takes place around the time Found Footage #2 does. In one chase scene, it the upper right hand corner you can see a green flashing light, similar to the one at the end of that video. Though we don't see much about the disease(assuming its canon to the movies as well), it would make sense for an MRI company be highly on top of their workers health.

At the opening scene, we also see what looks to be a radio station set up pretty deep within the complex. This reminds me of what the man in Found Footage #3 found.

It was also interesting to see animals no clip. Besides spiders no clipping into the wall, as far as I recall, we haven't really seen many animals dead or alive.

Also, in the scene were Bobby is in the lower level, did anyone else notice the head under the pile of clothes? I really was irked by that, my theater 100% thought smth was gonna happen there.

One other thing that I spotted, was the entity that attacked him was fast. Faster than those we saw in the movies(besides maybe the alternate version of the woman who got her scalp removed). I have a feeling it was a similar type to the quick one we saw in Found Footage #3. It'd have to be fast and probably small to fit in where it took Bobby.

Anyway, I havent compared these notes to the timeline I've made yet. I know the first scenes date was June 19, 1990, but I can't really remember any other dates.

If anyone remembers things before the movie is fully out and I can rematch it a ton, lmk your alls thoughts and what you caught. I'm really hoping to get some other theories out once I compare this to others thoughts and what else they see. I just watched it today though and it was awesome.

Every mother turns to ensure her children are still there when she's leading the way.

Every older sibling turns to ensure the safety of their younger half.

Every younger sibling turns to make sure they are being watched over.

Every friend turns on the narrow sidewalk to ensure you're still there.

In every universe, every timeline, to turn back is to gift safety and security. It has never been about the type of love, nor who stands behind you.
