Just saw the Backrooms Movie and woahza. Im shell-shocked. Its such a lovely letter to the fans. 🥹
Here's some thoughts and theories:
He literally views people as furniture and objects. He was beyond a mental case for a therapist but I still believe he always meant well 💔
->Mary's mum was definitely trapped in the backrooms before having mary.
Still not sure what broke down their door during the flashback, maybe child protection services but it felt too ominous to not be an entity.
->Red haired woman is an impression of Clarke's wife.
->Async is a real organisation and I belive all the lore about them in the ending but Mary definitely imagined it all. I know that is kinda common knowledge but yeah.
Also confused on Phil. We see him twice before the ending in the real world and he's never met mary before so how come she knew him in her messed up memory? Could be looking into it too deep.
->wtf was the ending. Genuinely need some help on that.
My only idea so far is that the bacteria that the hasmat people use fend off a bacteria, mary (and clarke) were inhaling it too long and ended up becoming an entity. But that just raises more questions. Is pirate Clarke and the other entities people as well or figments of both mary and Clarke's imagination due to the bacteria? Well, I think red-head and pirate are from Clarkes mind but the other two at the kitchen table were possibly people before and just became entities, like Mary did in the end.
->if my ' entity were originally people once but r now insane and deformed ' is real than I belive whenever an entity moves its when its trying to snap back to reality, back to their former selves.
-> pretty 50/50 about the pirate Clarke theory and how he is the real clarke.
The fact red-head ran before pirate clarke entered the room like she was afraid gave me a notion this could be true (since in reality clarkes ex would fear him due to his issues). Same with when mary stopped in the nook , an arms reach from p.Clarke and just stared at him. Maybe she recognised him? Or some part of his humanity?
Also this theory supports the ' kitchen scene clarke is an impression from the backrooms'. Also 50/50 about that, since than my narcissist theory falls through if that's right.
-> the backrooms is just a living place with dementia lol.
Um, I think that's all I wanted to cover but yeah. The movie was so good. Literally all the character writting and development was divine ! love films that make me think afterwards. 10/10 !
