@@peamutbubber probably some skeleton bones that takes drugs everytime it eats a human cause its trapped down here with me and crying thin Edit: guys help I'm trapped now.. Hello Edit:HOLY THATS ALOT OF LIKES
Wich app you used to make a masterpiece like this?!,please tell me ;;-; (i mean pc software,that was the word more close that i wanted to say cuz im not american) 🙄
I love how the short film they were filming at the beginning captured the essence of why the back rooms are scary, not knowing what is around the corner, anticipating an unknown horror about to attack
The concept of being lost and encountering a monster, escaping, but then making your way back to a similar looking place except now you _know_ there's something there with you is so terrifying and executed so well.
Incredible. The "stay still" warning was very clever, adding a new level of stress to the "flight" reaction. This made my heart sink so low it got into the backrooms.
The Backrooms are so terrifying because of their level of helplessness, like, if you saw that warning you'd probably be fine as long as you didn't move, but you can't just not move forever, you have to eventually, you die either way.
It's likely the warning is a decoy. I mean, arrows guiding you to a spot where it tells you to stay still? Quite fishy. I do agree on the adding stress level part, not knowing whether to trust a sign in an otherworldly space or your common sense, and having mere seconds to make your move.
the fact this was almost three years ago now is odd to think about. looking back, you realize how far kane's come, especially after Found Footage #3. the improvement is very noticeable, and i'm super excited to see how the movie looks compared to this with him not having the restrictions of being only 1 person and only using blender. truly a remarkable run
@@Umbran i been hooked since 2019, got into the backrooms through fandom and spiraled from there, even had an old yt channel with like 100k views worth of backrooms shit (i deleted it cuz it was cringe as fuck😭😭😭) and i was stoked when i saw kane's video.
Something also terrifying is when you’re running from the monster in the endless maze, you run the risk of running directly into the monster. That sense of unknown is true fear.
And once you now there is one, you realize there could be any number. And you don't know if you can even get away from the monster, because you have no idea of what things must be possible now.
What would make it better is to have no monsters that physically harm you but ones that can physiologically harm your mental health making you go depressed or insane whilst being in a world alone with multiple levels would be awesome
The monster design is actually brilliant. It's like the rig or skeleton of something that hasn't fully loaded in yet. Just the movement and the sounds.
The camera movement in the CGI environment is the most realistic I’ve ever seen. Most of the time with the CGI work the camera is just swinging smoothly in a pattern and takes you out of the scene. But you’ve made it appear organic and subtle. Absolutely great work!
Just realized that at the end he doesn’t actually fall, his camera does. The monster grabbed him so it could kill him. The only evidence he was there would be the camera footage, which is even worse than actually finding a body on the ground
I think it'd be better if he fell, just the idea of finding a random body that fell from the sky with this footage is just so much more interesting than just a camera
@ true, that would be cool, but i think he tried to make it so only a random camera being the only true trace of this guys disappearance is way more…worse I feel like. A body means it could maybe be buried or something. But just a camera means this guy will absolutely never be seen again
This is by far the best depiction of the backrooms I’ve ever seen, especially when you consider that 80% of the stuff you find of the backrooms are still images.
Yeah because hollywood tries to stretch horror to an hour when 15 to 30 minutes MAX is all that needed. Otherwise it become overextended schlock with jumpscares that start to wear and tear over that extended time Edit: Just to let all the people know I'm mostly talking about newer horror movies. So you can stop bringing up Romero, I know his movies were good and they still are
The depiction and the feeling of anxiety, uncertainty and fear - almost like the strangest fever dream, this is by far the best horror short film of any internet creepy pastas.
@CheekySEPH i thought there were levels of the backrooms and some of them had monsters? i think there's actual danger there, not just the feeling of being watched
I personally think it would be more terrifying being trapped in that place thinking you are alone until you have undeniable evidence that there is something else down there with you but you still haven't seen anything with your own eyes. Now imagine that type of fear walking around in that place just knowing there's something else in there but you haven't seen or heard nothing
Rewatching this 2 years later, right before the NEWEST one comes out and wearing my headphones this time. This is still so good!! The distant voices, the clicks and taps, the "voice" of the entity right behind you at the end...SOOOO GOOOOOOD!! Can't wait to see what you have made for FF3!
For me, the biggest thing that makes this scary is the fact that when the monster is chasing you, you not only have a fear of it getting to you but you also have a fear of going deeper into this maze, where the silence only gets louder. Truly an amazing film.
Since the backrooms is about liminal spaces, what really scares me is that we can run into the monster we were running from. The monster was behind the cameraman, but he could have run into the monster. 4:19
I saw nobody else talking about it but if you look at 8:29 and thereabouts you can see in a few frames that he doesn’t fall, he just drops the camera when Lifeform Fellow grabs him
The fact that they manage to create a scary movie with just the environment and not overuse jumpscares is amazing, the scary factor isn't just from the monsters, but the eerieness of the place, the fear of the unknown and unnatural architecture
god the tension of just walking around with no knowing of what's behind you is almost scarier than the actual monsters and jumpscares. absolute top notch horror
This horror short is so simple yet effective as it combines so many primitive human fears - being alone and lost, the unknown, not being able to escape, being followed/chased
lifeform/bacteria sightings: peeking through the wall (1:12) stalking, seen in the dark section (2:41) (2:46) the chase (3:40) (3:49) (4:21) (4:31) to the left, stalking (6:57) crouching(?) (8:05) cameraman gets caught (8:27)
Man, how did you notice stalking parts? Have seen this vid couple times but haven't noticed stalking parts until this comment... So, bacteria is like a cat, it's enjoying the hunt, playing with the victim... man that's even scarier...
8:05 the bacteria wasn’t crouching it was looking for its victim but when the wanderer peeks again you can see it was turning back to how it was supposedly it changes into different forms.
As someone who's only heard of the Backrooms on and off, I was under the impression that only people going into office settings like elevators were trapped. Seeing the cameraman be sucked into it during broad daylight is the most horrifying part.
@@JohnSmith-nj9qo yes and no. The concept of the Backroons is basically "Glitching Out of Realitty", however is not like in Bethesda games where you teleport back to the starting point of the cell youre in or in Doom where you wander beyond the physical limitations, its more like in Zelda A Link to the Past, which uses a stock room as a fail safe in case of loading an erroneous cell or alike.
Finally someone to make a short movie about the backrooms that actually tries to look and be realistic! Was looking for this for quite long without success.
There is a game it’s in a thing called dreams on ps4/ps5 search up dreams then when your in dreams just search up back rooms then there it is idk if it’s on ps4 tho
This genuinely captured the feeling of the backrooms, the lighting, camera movement, and sound effects were spot on edit: this video is NOT where the backrooms originated from! it is inspired by a 4chan post in like 2019
I really like how the monster's sound design was done. It had a perfect combination of an unknown animal, corrupted humanity, and a bizarre, otherworldly machine-like quality to it. It has everything it needs to be terrifying, and creepy, and also to pique your curiosity, as to what it is.
This is genuinely the greatest short film I've ever seen. I am literally not at all scared by horror films but you running from that entity gave me that horrible, spine tingling feeling you get when you can't run away quicker from something
It freaks me out how the noises it makes aren't so loud, so it feels as though the creature is about 50+ feet away from you, but as soon as you turn around, he's right there... unnerving.
There is actually a myth, where if you hear the screams of this demon women, the volume of her screams grow louder the further you are away from her. So people inadvertently run towards her trying to get away and are killed. I wouldn't be able to tell you what she's called or what culture the myth belongs to though.
@@Nine_Crows_Down It’s from the Philippines! She’s called a Wakwak or Manananggal. Btw, from what i’ve researched, they’re closer to a vampire than a demon:)
For the first time in my life, I’ve never felt this type of horror. Most horror movies have you terrified of what is GOING to happen, but this short film had me absolutely petrified of what was ALREADY happening. Just the thought of being in an eerie, time-consuming, endless maze that you had no intent of ending up in is such a realistic type of nightmare. This is one of the better horror films I’ve seen, by far.
Focuses more on terror, that's why it's good. Terror centres more round anxiety and fear of the unknown etc. Horror is films like Alien where it uses imagery and scary monsters or whatever to make it scary.
As a former maintenance guy... the horror of having to keep all those fluorescent lights replaced is enough for me! Still get goosebumps from the buzzing sound, well done!
i think this is unreal 5. ive been in construction and electrical IT and i saw a lot of anomalies here. no light switches or outlets? no furniture in such a complex? endless hallways and rooms interconnected without doors seemingly without purpose? a random hole in the floor or wall leading to another random location that's in a different building? its CGI. unreal 5 is quite realistic.
I like how the camera man’s response to falling into this bizarre place is so calm until he sees the graffiti, which in my opinion is the most normal looking part of any of this.
Honestly If it was a place I knew nothing about that looked like it wasnt touched for a very long amount of time, I'd probably be extremely wary of any writing or graffiti as well.
Analog horror that just shows you what’s so horrifying about it. No backstory, no lore, nothing. Just pure terror served on a platter. A very refreshing take on analog horror. Good job this is amazing
The back rooms does have context and kind of lore behind it. I will explain the basics. Basically it is a place between nothing and reality. The way you get there is by randomly no clipping out of reality. No really, you actually have to no-clip out of reality. There are many floors to the back rooms starting with the most iconic one, floor zero. Floor zero is the one with the yellow wallpaper and buzzing lights. The floors usually look different and have different chances of likeliness for entity’s to spawn. There are many entity’s in the back rooms such as the ones Kane Pixels showed in this vid. But yeah that’s the main gist. Oh and if you go there and someone else goes there it’s not like you will see eachother
This is not analog horror. I am pretty sure analog horror is when its supposed to represent tv footage. This is found footage from a random guy filming his journey through the backrooms not a broadcast to tvs.
I can't wrap my head around how this has been filmed, edited, if there's a set, what's digital, what's real. This is some of the coolest stuff I've seen for a very long time
I think its mostly animated actually. The video creator is an animator and with the effects added on top, the animation looks very realistic. I could be wrong though
3d artist here, amazing job you’ve done. Just an idea I’ve got, don’t you want to use someday the Vray render? It would look even more super-realistic.
This is one of the most impressive and atmospheric backrooms videos I've watched. More genuinely scary than a lot of big horror films, you feel what the main character feels due to the POV/found footage style. Incredibly organic for CGI, too.
The way the guy gets snatched by the monster at the end with the camera falling down the slope and cliping back in reality sends chills up my spine, great work
Kane, I'm really a fan of yours. When I saw your first backrooms video, I liked it so much that I even made it in Minecraft. You're really good at making these videos, it's amazing.
The creepy thing about calling for help in the backrooms is, even if someone hears you they will most likely stay away from your voice because they probably think that its actually an entity mimicking a human cry for help. While on the other hand the entities that DID hear your call will approach you
This is why I always be quite and sneaky in a sinister and eerie place. Mamma mia, if the backrooms is real. I really need to hide somewhere else safe to perform a BLJ and never shout yahoo multiple time to get out of the backrooms...
What makes this interpretation of the backrooms so good is the sheer fact that it really emphasizes how alone you'd be in this situation, you or a friend might be millions of miles apart if you got stuck there, trapped between levels upon levels of rooms. And the creature design unnerves me so much, i can't even describe what it is. Great job, Kane!
I hate how a lot of horror movies nowadays just abuse jumpscares to make something “scary.” Jumpscares can be scary with correct timing and not abusing it, and here’s a great example of how just an environment can be downright terrifying.
I hate how every incredible video on this site must have a comment section full of complaining. I don't even disagree, but it's just so weird to me that people use such good videos as a place to be negative in, well, any sense. Same goes for good music, too. People just use the comments as a place to bring everything else down.
@ThatOneDude What? Complaining about the truth is still complaining. All he meant is that people commenting on great works sometimes bring other things down rather than complimenting the actual video.
I like how perfectly the cameraman expressed fear. His entire body was filled with adrenaline, running for his life in disbelief that something like this entity exists. He wasn't screaming like in most horror movies
I've had a couple near death experiences when I was completely alone (mind you not because some otherwordly predator was hunting me) but I can attest that I never screamed. I slipped on a rock once when hiking and almost fell 50 feet off a cliff. The most that came out of me was a whisper shout of "shit shit shit" through gritted teeth. I can imagine you're even less likely to do that when something is stalking you.

I would look for the monster and let it kill me, or I would run around and try to brake a wall and be annoying or I would just magicly die from being overwhelmed
I genuinely did not know that the environment was CGI until it got to the room with many doorways (at around 4:18). I spent the first few minutes wondering how they found a location that looks so similar as that to film in. It looks really good! Very nice work.
I bet the shaky camera and the old recording looks plus the fact that the backrooms are of a very minimalist design lend itself to make it look so realistic.
Coming back here after found footage 3 just dropped, you can see just how much kane has improved, not sure if he even reads these comments, but props to him man!
This was so nerve-racking every step he made, and every noise that I heard gave me the chills. 100% the scariest thing I would never want to experience.
Every time you fall asleep there is a chance of something like this happening. If you go trough sleep paralysis and manage to move, this is what awaits you.
Creepy details I noticed 1. The guy stays in the backrooms. The creature grabs him, but the camera falls. 2. That one shot of the apartment with lots of windows is based of a liminal image. 3. There are 2 people watching him in the apartment level 4. The camera seems to clip off a lot. This could imply that he is taking different recordings. That means that the camera somehow started another recording after it fell. Edit: theory, the reason he holds the camera for so long is because it’s one of those chest cameras. Maybe he was just shaking a lot and that’s why it’s so shaky. When it falls off, the creatures claw probably cuts the strap.
6:12 OK, this part really got me. No monster/creature and yet it is the scariest scene in the whole story. You see that you are in an endless building while you hear a loud, strange and repetitive background noise. None of it even makes sense and then you realize you are trapped in a kind of matrix. You don't know how. You don't know why. But you need to find a way to get out of there. The giant signs with the "exit" symbol suggest the only way to escape is to jump to your death. Excelent work!
I dunno if I'd agree that the camera movements are realistic. When he's running away from the monster, the camera stays mostly level. who would actually run away from a threat like that while holding the camera up the entire time? It would be pumping all over the place with their arm movements.
Sure it’s slightly unrealistic, but still a million times better than a still camera, also if people want the camera to swing up and down wildly they can go play some roller coaster simulator game.
I think you captured the dread, anxiety inducing nature of the backrooms perfectly. The drab walls combined with exotic and horrific creatures makes for such a unique horror.
This just shows how truly horrifying, isolating,anxious, and how vast the back rooms is and shows how in the backrooms you are almost likely to be truly alone, great film!
I hate it when things like that pass right through my brain and don’t land on the spots they’re supposed to. Because I could be all “oh look another horror thing to eat!” Instead of “damn a plain unscary horror setting”.
as someone who loves the backrooms and things like "dreamcore" this is absolutely amazing. feels so real and terrifying. the turn of every corner filling you with anxiety until nothing happens. the sound of the creature approaching as you run, seeing it just behind you. it reminds me of "The Ritual" putting the fear back into me.
yoo, The Ritual's final scenes are amazing, when the 24/7 appears out of nowhere in the middle of the forest it looks so dope, they really made it look real
@@Celestial_878when it ran at 7:48 i jumped out my chair just cause i had my speakers all the way up cause i could barely hear then smack as it hits the wall i was like tf is that
Even if I didn’t notice it from the monster in the game I’m trying every key possible for a run key ain’t no way Im letting a real life stickman catch me
As an SL player, i can confirm this is accurate *You know you gotta turn around and run when you see yellow text below your screen saying Hold "Shift" to Sprint*
This was probably the scariest thing that I have seen in my whole life. The bad camera quality, the sound effects being louder than the person himself and the sense that he is the only human there with the chance that there has been many other victims was truly horrifying not to mention how each jump scare was so unexpected because the whole video itself was eerie.
The fact the camera holder didn't do anything wrong is so much scarier. He didn't go somewhere he shouldn't have, he didn't break a ritual, sacred site or insult anyone powerful. He just took a few steps back to get a wider shot and fell. No way to counter it or fight back. Just gone.
I hate when people say "characters in horror movies have to be a little stupid, otherwise there wouldn't be a movie." Know what's actually scary? When you didn't do anything wrong and the bad stuff still happens.
@@wacksonjittemore4013 They do have to be stupid? They don't have to break in anywhere, but we have examples where our character here is shouting for help, standing near edges, not continuing to run, hesitating, these are all things characters in horror movies do to increase tension, and what people generally consider dumb. It's just well-executed here.
@@demetria-n Shouting for help while lost isn't dumb. It's actually a good idea in a lot of survival situations. So is trying to remain quite while hiding from someone faster than you.
@@demetria-n this dude has no clue whats going on, he doesn't know that hes in the "backrooms" rn, hes behaving like an ordinary 16 year old probably would
@@demetria-n just saying hypothetically if any one of us ended up in a backrooms situation without any prior context or knowledge you bet your ass 99% of us would be shouting out trying to find other people including yourself. Obviously when you discover an eldritch abomination is chasing after you you'll shut up quick but before that your gonna be trying to alert others to you.
I just watched this for the first time and learned it's going to be a feature film, and they're producing it with A24, the IDEAL company to make this kind of content. That movie is going to be absolutely terrifying.
what cannot be explained though is why someone running in fear for their life would still be filming everything through the viewfinder that it perfectly captures everything he is seeing as if it was a first-person experience
@@usingtubes Well the thing is still on so that's one thing. It could also be that it's like their only belonging besides their clothes from their world to their clinging onto that. Also most likely for proof as well as to give themselves something to do
@@usingtubes I'm answering your question. You asked why someone would record in that situation. I said the camera as still on, and the camera is one of the only things from the real world besides their clothes the person has on them, so they probably don t one to discard it. Another thing is that they're on a panic, so they're probably not all that aware of what they're doing. They could also be recording so they have proof of their experience. Besides, the backrooms messes with your head, so even if it's not a smart thing to do, he's certainly not listening to logic
This right here I agreed on right away but then as I thought on it more idk if it’s exactly true. He didn’t have the big Hollywood budget so that’s where the simplicity and nuance of his videos came from. He adapted his horror/suspense style to match that of what he could afford to film which was the prefect storm to create these back room clips. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure he would make a killer horror or suspense movie but it will lack the grounded and real feeling not to mention the simplicity that made these videos so damn perfect. Meaning he since he didn’t have to rely on big budget cgi and special effects so he HAD to put more time, thought, and energy into creating the atmosphere and the feelings the normal everyday person experience instead of it just being all big expensive fluff that usually comes from big budget movies.
My brother showed me this and I said it’s absurd how he survived a great fall at the end- but he then told me to slomo and watch again. You see the construct actually grab the guy and it’s only the camera that falls. Full-on Goosebumps.
I honestly didn't even notice that the monster actually managed to grab the dude. At first I thought the dude was either dead or unconscious by the fall, until I saw the comments. And then I replayed the same scene, and yup he got yoinked by that thing. Well rip to him!
i think the fact that most of this was made in blender is better than if it was real, real life wouldnt be able to convey how fake everything feels in the backrooms
It's SO REAL - Even tho I can not rationally imagine this not being actual footage, I know it must be. I REALLY needed confirmation on this tho. As for the concept for a horror game, it is... it's called Backrooms lol
This is why I find the backrooms so fascinating. That pure dread of an empty space, where you don’t know what you’re looking for or where it is… or what might be in there with you, until it finds you. The 90’s/2000’s aesthetic and the rather “ugly” creature design really sells it. Making the backrooms too pretty eliminates the fear factor, so I’m glad you went with the disturbing angles and camera work. In other words, this is a masterpiece!
i think one of the reasons why liminal spaces are scary imo, is because they look unnaturally clean and "produced". It's like as if these rooms just naturally appeared out of thin air, and by making themselves look like a bleak parody of something comfortable and nostalgic, they try to trick people into believing they're safe there, as if the rooms by themselves are trying to actively lure people inside.
Making the backrooms "too pretty" doesn't eliminate the fear factor. If you were completely alone in any environment you wouldn't say "oh I don't have anyone and I'm going to stay here probably until I die but look it's pretty I am now in pure bliss" As long as it's somewhat monotonous it will work at creating fear.
No matter how many times I watch this, I still get chills with how it sounds like the entity, in all its distorted noise, seems to say 'don't run! no, no! come back!' Plus the fact that even though we see the character make tracks and leave the entity behind, it seems to come out of nowhere and be right back on his tail so suddenly.
As a person who was told to go through the back hallways to get out of the mall after the doors had locked, you are completely correct. *edit, fixed a typo*
this is totally insane, i haven’t felt this scared feeling in such a long time. He was able to make it seem as if you’re helpless in this situation and all alone. great work!
@@bombkirby literally i know this is a joke but it triggers me knowing that people think this is funny. There isn't even a your/you're. Its not cool, and there is no meaning to this. Just leave people alone let their grammar grow on its own.
This was one of the most immersive horor shorts I've ever seen, and captures the entire ambience on what the backrooms would be. The inclusion of different "levels" and familiar areas was nice. Sooooooo cool.
If in any way this could be made into a longer horror movie, or even series, it would be incredibly successful. The unanswered questions mixed with the odd familiarity of the back rooms makes this is true horror filled short film.
im not sure its possible to make a long movie out of a simple gimmick like the backrooms. theres just not much you can add to it without compromising the premise of the backrooms itself, unfamiliar yet familiar. at least thats what i think. would be cool to see if its possible to take things further
@@Kaan-Yaprak make it like a scp thing. Differnt monsters or troubles. Same place. And make sure to never elaborate on anything noteworthy or better yet. Elaborate, but make it impossibly vague. Knowledge is the true killer of fear.
@@Kaan-Yaprak Well, they made succesfull movies based on even less. Like Cube for example. On top of that, backrooms have alot of lore and there are levels and secrets and what else. There is solid material for a movie. But... they should not make movies based on backrooms and SCP. Last thing we need is corporations claiming rights on open source community run projects, and then pocketing the profits while leaving community unable to participate anymore while at the same time ruining the concept stories and introducing politics into the mix... Imagine they do infact make a show, and then at some point some jagoff executive just decides to cancel the show and now no one can make anything anymore because they now own the rights. If anyone is going to make movie or series, it should come directly from the community.
@@stupidmemes4u2see59 Well, most likely standart stuff. A character/s accidentally going no clip, then he/she/they/ are searching and wandering around, focus on the horror of the situation while introducing audience to the mystery of the backrooms. They run away from monsters and they are discovering secrets that they need to solve. And each characters present skills that will be used later to resolve the whole situation.. Then act 2, they meet another person/s or group or small society or people who are also in the same predicament, they make plans, try to survive as they are searching for the way out. Conflict, drama, etc.. Someone from the group turns out to have ulteriour motives because movie needs a villain.. They put together clues and mystery of the backrooms starts to unravel. In act 3 they defeat the villain and solution to secrets and clues begins to show themselves, and they find a way out. If you plan for a sequel then they can like exit backrooms trough doors of pure white light without showing the audience if they made it out or not.... Basically anything can go here, just look at what they did in Saw, with such a simple premise where guy sets deadly traps. Not a great movie but still good enough as an example.
I have never been made so anxious and uncomfortable watching anything horror related but this set up an unexplainable primal fear that I had to watch this twice to come to terms with it, it was great.
@@blank_home1229 Not exactly, he turned around to see what was behind and when he did do that action he moved. If he just stayed still it may have gone away.
this feels so real it makes me wonder if i can possible ever end up in there, the concept of ending up in a place you dont know, never heard of before, or never seen before, then being chased down by a monster and managing to escape and end up in the same place as before but knowing theres something there with you is really scary, as you cant know when that moment is going to arrive again. it really builds up some uncontrollable anxiety.
I watched thousands of horror movies that don’t scared me, but this is so terrifying because the most terrible sensation is when you feel lost, hunted, scared and alone
This is generally terrifying. I love how the rooms look so familiar but are so different. Just the “screams” of the creature in complete silence also make this another great horror short film.
@Hahaha BenisXDD it's like everything is designed like a video game level it looks so close to reality but better set up for the functionality of the gameplay
It's fucking perfect, just that feeling of "something's gonna happen" when the camera goes somewhere and nothing's happening, like the flicking of the light from the top of the stairs. So empty, so uneasy, love it.
Even if the monsters weren’t present enough in this video, the thought of reality itself giving you the boot and being forced to wander an environment so uncanny and never-ending almost makes my heart skip a beat. That is why I can never get enough of the Backrooms. Liminal horror at its finest.
Theres actually a level where you can get to the normal world but i dont remember wich one it was but theres no entity, no danger its just a big arcade
I’m genuinely stunned at how incredible this film really is , encapsulates everything terrifying about the backrooms and liminal spaces, best short horror I’ve ever seen
Just wanted to say, as a die hard fan of both horror and the entire Backrooms concept/genre, this is an incredible achievement. This is the best backrooms related media I have ever seen, and completely blew my expectations out of the water. I loved the design choices, the strange geometry and variation of spaces that I haven’t seen before. The transition from real life to the backrooms not being jarring is a testament to how well rendered everything is, especially the lighting, and with impeccable sound design tying everything together. The progression of events, the perfectly captured atmosphere and very well executed horror had me utterly gripped from beginning to end. This was such a treat to watch, thank you

Incredible. The "stay still" warning was very clever, adding a new level of stress to the "flight" reaction. This made my heart sink so low it got into the backrooms.
Ngl if i saw that shit i would scream so hard even tho i just saw that warning
Definitely agree! Left me confused the whole time!
The Backrooms are so terrifying because of their level of helplessness, like, if you saw that warning you'd probably be fine as long as you didn't move, but you can't just not move forever, you have to eventually, you die either way.
It's likely the warning is a decoy. I mean, arrows guiding you to a spot where it tells you to stay still? Quite fishy.
I do agree on the adding stress level part, not knowing whether to trust a sign in an otherworldly space or your common sense, and having mere seconds to make your move.
I would’ve been so confused about staying still but I would just start making a run for it
the fact this was almost three years ago now is odd to think about. looking back, you realize how far kane's come, especially after Found Footage #3. the improvement is very noticeable, and i'm super excited to see how the movie looks compared to this with him not having the restrictions of being only 1 person and only using blender. truly a remarkable run

Something also terrifying is when you’re running from the monster in the endless maze, you run the risk of running directly into the monster. That sense of unknown is true fear.
And once you now there is one, you realize there could be any number. And you don't know if you can even get away from the monster, because you have no idea of what things must be possible now.
What would make it better is to have no monsters that physically harm you but ones that can physiologically harm your mental health making you go depressed or insane whilst being in a world alone with multiple levels would be awesome

I personally think it would be more terrifying being trapped in that place thinking you are alone until you have undeniable evidence that there is something else down there with you but you still haven't seen anything with your own eyes. Now imagine that type of fear walking around in that place just knowing there's something else in there but you haven't seen or heard nothing
Rewatching this 2 years later, right before the NEWEST one comes out and wearing my headphones this time. This is still so good!! The distant voices, the clicks and taps, the "voice" of the entity right behind you at the end...SOOOO GOOOOOOD!! Can't wait to see what you have made for FF3!
The fact that I expected a jump scare every 5 seconds but there wasn’t one just keeps on building the anxiety, it’s amazing
Oh gosh, exactly!! I was saying aloud to myself where each one could happen and yet nothing.
First time I actually jumped at a jump scare in years
I was expecting that last jump scare before that little noise and I wad still scared shitless
ONG
That is exactly the feeling I expect from the backrooms, its insane how he was able to bring this
For me, the biggest thing that makes this scary is the fact that when the monster is chasing you, you not only have a fear of it getting to you but you also have a fear of going deeper into this maze, where the silence only gets louder. Truly an amazing film.
You also have the fear if reaching a dead end, knowing that whatever it is will be coming around the corner and get you.
Since the backrooms is about liminal spaces, what really scares me is that we can run into the monster we were running from. The monster was behind the cameraman, but he could have run into the monster. 4:19
Fr
i mean the scariest thing is that loud noise
There's also a fear about no rooms to hide in from the monster.
Amazing work! This is by far my favorite interpretation of the backrooms.

i like the reference to that one interview 😘
Your Right I didnt even notice that he took the man and the camera leaves him
The fact that they manage to create a scary movie with just the environment and not overuse jumpscares is amazing, the scary factor isn't just from the monsters, but the eerieness of the place, the fear of the unknown and unnatural architecture

@@marsfisch44 jumpscares are fine if they're using sparingly and with purpose
Something this video did very well
This horror short is so simple yet effective as it combines so many primitive human fears - being alone and lost, the unknown, not being able to escape, being followed/chased

4:20
As someone who's only heard of the Backrooms on and off, I was under the impression that only people going into office settings like elevators were trapped. Seeing the cameraman be sucked into it during broad daylight is the most horrifying part.
He didn’t really get sucked in, he just fell through the ground
From my understanding, you get to the back rooms by moving in just the wrong way, that you clip through the ground.
It’s like your atoms lining up with the grounds ones perfectly so that you just clip through

For the first time in my life, I’ve never felt this type of horror. Most horror movies have you terrified of what is GOING to happen, but this short film had me absolutely petrified of what was ALREADY happening. Just the thought of being in an eerie, time-consuming, endless maze that you had no intent of ending up in is such a realistic type of nightmare. This is one of the better horror films I’ve seen, by far.
Focuses more on terror, that's why it's good. Terror centres more round anxiety and fear of the unknown etc. Horror is films like Alien where it uses imagery and scary monsters or whatever to make it scary.

Analog horror that just shows you what’s so horrifying about it. No backstory, no lore, nothing. Just pure terror served on a platter. A very refreshing take on analog horror. Good job this is amazing
Isnt analogue horror literally known for having obscure lore and backstories?
@@pirilon78 sometimes they do, and sometimes it's like this video
The back rooms does have context and kind of lore behind it. I will explain the basics. Basically it is a place between nothing and reality. The way you get there is by randomly no clipping out of reality. No really, you actually have to no-clip out of reality. There are many floors to the back rooms starting with the most iconic one, floor zero. Floor zero is the one with the yellow wallpaper and buzzing lights. The floors usually look different and have different chances of likeliness for entity’s to spawn. There are many entity’s in the back rooms such as the ones Kane Pixels showed in this vid. But yeah that’s the main gist. Oh and if you go there and someone else goes there it’s not like you will see eachother
This isn’t analogue horror
This is not analog horror. I am pretty sure analog horror is when its supposed to represent tv footage. This is found footage from a random guy filming his journey through the backrooms not a broadcast to tvs.
I can't wrap my head around how this has been filmed, edited, if there's a set, what's digital, what's real. This is some of the coolest stuff I've seen for a very long time

The creepy thing about calling for help in the backrooms is, even if someone hears you they will most likely stay away from your voice because they probably think that its actually an entity mimicking a human cry for help. While on the other hand the entities that DID hear your call will approach you
Yeah. Even if they do think you're real, it's safer to not approach you, because the entities will be coming as well.

Or doing that thing were he endlessly narrates that lazy found footage things do so often.
I've had a couple near death experiences when I was completely alone (mind you not because some otherwordly predator was hunting me) but I can attest that I never screamed.

Creepy details I noticed
1. The guy stays in the backrooms. The creature grabs him, but the camera falls.
2. That one shot of the apartment with lots of windows is based of a liminal image.
3. There are 2 people watching him in the apartment level
4. The camera seems to clip off a lot. This could imply that he is taking different recordings. That means that the camera somehow started another recording after it fell.
Edit: theory, the reason he holds the camera for so long is because it’s one of those chest cameras. Maybe he was just shaking a lot and that’s why it’s so shaky. When it falls off, the creatures claw probably cuts the strap.
I think when he fell in the town, he might have gone into the endless city or level 11, theres no way he got out that easily.

6:12 OK, this part really got me. No monster/creature and yet it is the scariest scene in the whole story.
You see that you are in an endless building while you hear a loud, strange and repetitive background noise.
None of it even makes sense and then you realize you are trapped in a kind of matrix. You don't know how. You don't know why. But you need to find a way to get out of there.
The giant signs with the "exit" symbol suggest the only way to escape is to jump to your death.
Excelent work!
This just gives me the chills. The realistic camera movements, the 2000’s graphics, and the quality of the chasing scene, this thing is a masterpiece.
I dunno if I'd agree that the camera movements are realistic. When he's running away from the monster, the camera stays mostly level. who would actually run away from a threat like that while holding the camera up the entire time? It would be pumping all over the place with their arm movements.
@@frustratedsquirrel I mean some people actually do that
Sure it’s slightly unrealistic, but still a million times better than a still camera, also if people want the camera to swing up and down wildly they can go play some roller coaster simulator game.
@@frustratedsquirrelMy friends do that
and yes also some people do that aswell...
Theres chasing scenes?!?!
I think you captured the dread, anxiety inducing nature of the backrooms perfectly. The drab walls combined with exotic and horrific creatures makes for such a unique horror.
This just shows how truly horrifying, isolating,anxious, and how vast the back rooms is and shows how in the backrooms you are almost likely to be truly alone, great film!
what is a backroom?
@@emaakira3352 it's a place where secret, administrative or supporting work is done
I hate it when things like that pass right through my brain and don’t land on the spots they’re supposed to. Because I could be all “oh look another horror thing to eat!” Instead of “damn a plain unscary horror setting”.
@Pajaro Chango what are you talking about?
@@thelifeofsweetangelchristi817 thank you
This has got to be the best short film ever made
Maybe not, but it’s amazing for sure
as someone who loves the backrooms and things like "dreamcore" this is absolutely amazing. feels so real and terrifying. the turn of every corner filling you with anxiety until nothing happens. the sound of the creature approaching as you run, seeing it just behind you. it reminds me of "The Ritual" putting the fear back into me.
As a fellow weirdcore / dreamcore fan I totally agree
That movie the ritual was great. Hearing things and looking behind you seeing nothings there is really freaky.

I felt a pins and needles sensation down the sides of my head like I'd never felt before.
It's nice coming back to this every once in a while.
3:37 This would be the moment where if this was a video game a "hold shift to sprint" box would pop up
Even if I didn’t notice it from the monster in the game I’m trying every key possible for a run key ain’t no way Im letting a real life stickman catch me
Nah because you’re so right
or when an autosave box would pop up
Yes
As an SL player, i can confirm this is accurate
*You know you gotta turn around and run when you see yellow text below your screen saying Hold "Shift" to Sprint*
This was probably the scariest thing that I have seen in my whole life. The bad camera quality, the sound effects being louder than the person himself and the sense that he is the only human there with the chance that there has been many other victims was truly horrifying not to mention how each jump scare was so unexpected because the whole video itself was eerie.
7:23 *Fun* *fact:* this scene was the very first test backrooms scene Kane animated, but he liked it so much that he included it in the full video
The fact the camera holder didn't do anything wrong is so much scarier.
He didn't go somewhere he shouldn't have, he didn't break a ritual, sacred site or insult anyone powerful. He just took a few steps back to get a wider shot and fell. No way to counter it or fight back. Just gone.
I hate when people say "characters in horror movies have to be a little stupid, otherwise there wouldn't be a movie." Know what's actually scary? When you didn't do anything wrong and the bad stuff still happens.
@@wacksonjittemore4013 They do have to be stupid? They don't have to break in anywhere, but we have examples where our character here is shouting for help, standing near edges, not continuing to run, hesitating, these are all things characters in horror movies do to increase tension, and what people generally consider dumb. It's just well-executed here.
@@demetria-n Shouting for help while lost isn't dumb. It's actually a good idea in a lot of survival situations.

@@demetria-n just saying hypothetically if any one of us ended up in a backrooms situation without any prior context or knowledge you bet your ass 99% of us would be shouting out trying to find other people including yourself.
Obviously when you discover an eldritch abomination is chasing after you you'll shut up quick but before that your gonna be trying to alert others to you.
I just watched this for the first time and learned it's going to be a feature film, and they're producing it with A24, the IDEAL company to make this kind of content. That movie is going to be absolutely terrifying.
The way he gives a perfect explanation to why that person happened to have a camera and how it got found is just perfect.
True
what cannot be explained though is why someone running in fear for their life would still be filming everything through the viewfinder that it perfectly captures everything he is seeing as if it was a first-person experience
@@usingtubes Well the thing is still on so that's one thing. It could also be that it's like their only belonging besides their clothes from their world to their clinging onto that. Also most likely for proof as well as to give themselves something to do
@@hollowwoods7130 bruh what are you even talkin about
@@usingtubes I'm answering your question. You asked why someone would record in that situation. I said the camera as still on, and the camera is one of the only things from the real world besides their clothes the person has on them, so they probably don t one to discard it. Another thing is that they're on a panic, so they're probably not all that aware of what they're doing. They could also be recording so they have proof of their experience. Besides, the backrooms messes with your head, so even if it's not a smart thing to do, he's certainly not listening to logic
Give this man a bigger budget and he'd create a revolution of the horror genre.
He already did
@@usernametaken017 facts
This right here I agreed on right away but then as I thought on it more idk if it’s exactly true. He didn’t have the big Hollywood budget so that’s where the simplicity and nuance of his videos came from. He adapted his horror/suspense style to match that of what he could afford to film which was the prefect storm to create these back room clips. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure he would make a killer horror or suspense movie but it will lack the grounded and real feeling not to mention the simplicity that made these videos so damn perfect. Meaning he since he didn’t have to rely on big budget cgi and special effects so he HAD to put more
time, thought, and energy into creating the atmosphere and the feelings the normal everyday person experience instead of it just being all big expensive fluff that usually comes from big budget movies.
Hear guys clean the monster say something

Dude I love the way you've incorporated so many scenes of iconic liminal spaces into the different areas. Absolutely amazing.
the area with the stairs especially, it's incredible
make me want of a sequel with more iconic liminal spaces as well as another level of the Backrooms
This is very well made! Amazing job, Kane Pixels!
My brother showed me this and I said it’s absurd how he survived a great fall at the end- but he then told me to slomo and watch again. You see the construct actually grab the guy and it’s only the camera that falls. Full-on Goosebumps.
Still kinda absurd that the camera didn't immediately break on impact from that height.
Oh shit, I never even noticed that before, now you just make me feel even worse for the guy
I honestly didn't even notice that the monster actually managed to grab the dude. At first I thought the dude was either dead or unconscious by the fall, until I saw the comments.
And then I replayed the same scene, and yup he got yoinked by that thing.
Well rip to him!
Clover field vibes when only the camera make it out
@@Diwasho you dont need the whole camera to recover the footage
i think the fact that most of this was made in blender is better than if it was real, real life wouldnt be able to convey how fake everything feels in the backrooms
Is there a video on how it was made?
your avatar is creepy ( i mean it as a compliment)
BLENDER NIGGA? BLENDER?
It's SO REAL - Even tho I can not rationally imagine this not being actual footage, I know it must be. I REALLY needed confirmation on this tho. As for the concept for a horror game, it is... it's called Backrooms lol
@Çhrîstófêr Pèzêt ×37 no
This is why I find the backrooms so fascinating. That pure dread of an empty space, where you don’t know what you’re looking for or where it is… or what might be in there with you, until it finds you.
The 90’s/2000’s aesthetic and the rather “ugly” creature design really sells it. Making the backrooms too pretty eliminates the fear factor, so I’m glad you went with the disturbing angles and camera work. In other words, this is a masterpiece!
the guy from chrono trigger music comment sections
i think one of the reasons why liminal spaces are scary imo, is because they look unnaturally clean and "produced".
It's like as if these rooms just naturally appeared out of thin air, and by making themselves look like a bleak parody of something comfortable and nostalgic, they try to trick people into believing they're safe there, as if the rooms by themselves are trying to actively lure people inside.
more films like this pleeease
6th
Making the backrooms "too pretty" doesn't eliminate the fear factor.
If you were completely alone in any environment you wouldn't say "oh I don't have anyone and I'm going to stay here probably until I die but look it's pretty I am now in pure bliss"
As long as it's somewhat monotonous it will work at creating fear.
No matter how many times I watch this, I still get chills with how it sounds like the entity, in all its distorted noise, seems to say 'don't run! no, no! come back!' Plus the fact that even though we see the character make tracks and leave the entity behind, it seems to come out of nowhere and be right back on his tail so suddenly.
As an employee at mall, I can confirm that this is where we have to go when costumer says to check in the back.
As a person who was told to go through the back hallways to get out of the mall after the doors had locked, you are completely correct.

This was one of the most immersive horor shorts I've ever seen, and captures the entire ambience on what the backrooms would be. The inclusion of different "levels" and familiar areas was nice. Sooooooo cool.
If in any way this could be made into a longer horror movie, or even series, it would be incredibly successful. The unanswered questions mixed with the odd familiarity of the back rooms makes this is true horror filled short film.
im not sure its possible to make a long movie out of a simple gimmick like the backrooms. theres just not much you can add to it without compromising the premise of the backrooms itself, unfamiliar yet familiar. at least thats what i think. would be cool to see if its possible to take things further
@@Kaan-Yaprak make it like a scp thing. Differnt monsters or troubles. Same place. And make sure to never elaborate on anything noteworthy or better yet. Elaborate, but make it impossibly vague. Knowledge is the true killer of fear.
@@Kaan-Yaprak Well, they made succesfull movies based on even less. Like Cube for example. On top of that, backrooms have alot of lore and there are levels and secrets and what else. There is solid material for a movie. But... they should not make movies based on backrooms and SCP. Last thing we need is corporations claiming rights on open source community run projects, and then pocketing the profits while leaving community unable to participate anymore while at the same time ruining the concept stories and introducing politics into the mix... Imagine they do infact make a show, and then at some point some jagoff executive just decides to cancel the show and now no one can make anything anymore because they now own the rights. If anyone is going to make movie or series, it should come directly from the community.
Yeah, but what are you really gonna put as a plot to a series like this
@@stupidmemes4u2see59 Well, most likely standart stuff. A character/s accidentally going no clip, then he/she/they/ are searching and wandering around, focus on the horror of the situation while introducing audience to the mystery of the backrooms. They run away from monsters and they are discovering secrets that they need to solve. And each characters present skills that will be used later to resolve the whole situation.. Then act 2, they meet another person/s or group or small society or people who are also in the same predicament, they make plans, try to survive as they are searching for the way out. Conflict, drama, etc.. Someone from the group turns out to have ulteriour motives because movie needs a villain.. They put together clues and mystery of the backrooms starts to unravel. In act 3 they defeat the villain and solution to secrets and clues begins to show themselves, and they find a way out. If you plan for a sequel then they can like exit backrooms trough doors of pure white light without showing the audience if they made it out or not.... Basically anything can go here, just look at what they did in Saw, with such a simple premise where guy sets deadly traps. Not a great movie but still good enough as an example.
I have never been made so anxious and uncomfortable watching anything horror related but this set up an unexplainable primal fear that I had to watch this twice to come to terms with it, it was great.
Welp time to not sleep for the next 5 years

True! Like come on the advise looks like a kid scribble on a wall. He also doesn’t know that there’s monsters in the backroom to begin with.
and unsurprisingly, it actually didn't work, cause he wasnt moving when he got snatched
@@blank_home1229 Not exactly, he turned around to see what was behind and when he did do that action he moved. If he just stayed still it may have gone away.
When the camera fell my heart rate sped up by 50%. These 9 minutes have been the best horror I’ve seen in a really long time. Beautiful job!
ikr the jump scare near the end was really good most modern-day horror movies can't even accomplish that anymore.
No creepy music, no false jump scares. Just.....tension then BOOM.
Certainly better. Than blair witch.
And that monster noise was blood curdling. In real life it would cause panic.

I watched thousands of horror movies that don’t scared me, but this is so terrifying because the most terrible sensation is when you feel lost, hunted, scared and alone

This is the best backrooms related media I have ever seen, and completely blew my expectations out of the water. I loved the design choices, the strange geometry and variation of spaces that I haven’t seen before. The transition from real life to the backrooms not being jarring is a testament to how well rendered everything is, especially the lighting, and with impeccable sound design tying everything together. The progression of events, the perfectly captured atmosphere and very well executed horror had me utterly gripped from beginning to end. This was such a treat to watch, thank you
