my hot take is i don't actually think kalim is regularly experiencing terrible violence when he gets kidnapped. like there's just no reason for people doing that shit to torture him especially if they're holding him for ransom yk. i can imagine him getting lightly roughed up at worst and probably mostly at the stage where they're actually grabbing him and shoving him into the trunk/suitcase large enough to fit a child inside/whatever.... like you're going to get a better payout if they get him back in one piece

i'm sure some of them would be the kind of people who'd lash out if he pissed them off but i kind of assume he's had a lot of instruction (and experience) not doing that, like to just go along with it and do what he's told so he doesn't get hurt lol. i expect he's good at that!

honestly i would imagine probably once or twice his What If We Could All Be Friends nonsense did actually pay off and when his rescuers caught up with him they were having a tea party, because that's the kind of thing that would happen in this game... but also the way people are always having his kidnappers like waterboard him and break his legs and shit kind of feels like underestimating how traumatic being kidnapped on its own would be yfm. like especially for a kid! even if it's happened before and it's always turned out ok it's still.... idk like obviously one's preferred meal is one's preferred meal and it's not like it's Completely Impossible for it to have gotten especially violent sometimes but i always find whump about the kidnapping itself more compelling than just having him get beaten up all the time lol

If you like poor little meow meows being pathetic AND awful AND crawling on his hands and knees while wearing fuckass office clothes, then Backrooms is the movie for you

i like it here

[ID: digital art of clark from the backrooms movie. four versions of him look closely into a yellow box, each one getting more blurry. the box is similarly tripled and blurry. there's a red, reversed stop sign embedded in the bottom of the box. end ID]

soldier-of-death

the backrooms movie made me realize that my deepest fear isn't monsters or labyrinths or even death. it's failure.

seeing clark divorced, struggling with money, no friends, sitting and drinking and festering in his own self pity brought tears to my eyes faster than anything ever had before.

I saw him out off breath hopping around on the peg leg with the pirate impression talking about how you don't even need credit to buy from him and I was so close to sobbing it wasn't even funny. putting on a face when you're breaking down inside with no hope is terrifying to me.

I was so sad during the kitchen table scene because everything Mary said was true, he was lost now. It's like seeing someone you wished would succeed just give up and fall asleep in their grave.

Clark is gonna stick with me for a long time.

This might be a hot take, but I thought what they did for the "monster" of the Backrooms was ABSOLUTELY GENIUS! How it organically builds upon how the Backrooms work, how it connects to the real world and its people (specifically Clark), and how it creates something that is dangerous and terrifying, and yet at the same time, frighteningly human!

Let me ask you something. Do you think it's interesting that out of all the "people" that were in the Backrooms, Clark's was the only one that was actually dangerous and was actually going around killing people? That's because the Backrooms remembers things in the real world, and "the more times it remembers, the less it does" until it only remembers the details that stand out the most, like how, when you remember a childhood bedroom, you only remember specific furniture or decorations. And the same goes for people!

Because Clark's life is dominated by his anxieties, frustration, fears, and, most importantly, his desire to lash out at everything he thinks is to blame, the Backrooms only remembered those negative feelings. And eventually they all culminated into this dangerous entity. Just like how he lashed out and attacked others that he believes are the fault of where he is, this entity of his own (unintentional) making lashes out and attacks everyone in sight, because, as you can see by the expression on its face, it too is driven by those same anxieties and fears!

That's what makes this my favourite Backrooms entity! Because it's not just another murderous fiend that kills for the heck of it. It's something that beautifully and brilliantly connects to the world it's a part of, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY THE PEOPLE IN THE WORLD, and helps make Clark one of the best horror movie "villains" in recent memory!
