So while watching the movie I noticed how the main thing the objects and entities have in common is that they are trauma related

My take on it (personally calling it the trauma theory bc I’m corny like that) is that the backrooms remembers places and items involved in traumatic events, and I feel like we see this when Mary curls up in the corner as a child and we see the rooms slowly get more and more distorted

Another thing I want to point out is that although Clark, Bobby, and kat enter together the backrooms when kat and Clark “find” eachother kat describes the room as a double mirror like place saying there’s no door and warns him about the creature behind him, meaning that each person is taken to a different room if alone which is why the scientists cannot properly understand the backrooms or map it out but Clark was able to (and plus also bc he likes architecture)

The monster that we see in the dinner scene (the one that looks like Clark) and the other entities remind me of silent hill monsters in the sense that they are (loosely based on the ending) manifestations of the people who experienced the traumatic events in the room the backrooms represents

The main monster (again the one that looks like Clark) to me is sorta like pyramid head as he snaps at Clark when Clark is says

“It’s okay we are wired that way”

So I want to think the monster is a manifestation of the way Clark feels/sees himself which explains why it went after Mary after ending Clark

While the other 3 entities we see in the “dinner” scene I wanna think are people who are victims of some sort of abuse which explains why they aren’t really hostile and let Clark manhandle them

This is mainly because the female entity (scalp lady) runs before the Clark entity enters the room and cries out trying to find a way out while the one in the wheelchair frantically messes with the lights as it’s the only thing it’s capable of doing

Which why I think at the end we see a entity who looks exactly like Mary it means that the experience was so traumatic (because she almost died and lost the only thing that was part of her old home) that she created her own entity
