It's terrifying when at 32:18 you can hear the genuine confusion in his voice when the monster starts rolling towards him. He had just seemed to understand that when he's staring at it it doesn't move, but then it breaks that rule and chases after him. True terror.

Yeah that thing can seemingly control the lights so I just assumed it could do the same with the escalator and power it on.

Some may have noted this already, but I found it fascinating. In "The Oldest View - Renewal", the man we see looking at flowers and reading a book in the forest bears a striking resemblance to depictions of Julien Reverchon, google him. He was a French botanist, not all too significant, his Wikipedia is brief, but he taught botany in Dallas later in his life. A Dallas artist, Kevin Obregon created a massive uncanny Julien art piece that rolls, as seen here. It was left at the Valley View Mall after its permanent closure in real life. The mall has been completely demolished just this year, and there are plans for redevelopment. At 37:55 we actually see some of these redevelopment plans. Looks like an office space was made for planning the malls redevelopment. I'm unsure what the significance of any of this is to Kane's plot. But it's very interesting that these things are modeled after real things and people, though they are insignificant to most people. I mean the info regarding the mall and the giant is sparse. I'd have to imagine this mall is a special nostalgia for many people, and I bet giant Julien gave many children nightmares.

He mentions he was a botany major but changed to business. Very small detail but it seems relevant. He was studying nature and abandoned it for the more lucrative opportunity. But the bright lights and shiny linoleum and plastic of the shopping mall are all fleeting and the ground will reclaim it all.

At the start, the darkness is incredibly creepy and the viewer hopes there is some light, but once there lights do come on, it just makes things creepier and starts a chase sequence and the viewer wishes for the lights to turn off again. It’s a nice subversion of expectations.

You have almost the exact same theory as I do, lol. Glad to know I'm not the only one who thinks this series has something to do with nature.

I actually love all the little realistic details that make the Valley View recreation feel real, like all the slight differences between the colors of the lights, down to little imperfections in the floors and such. It really did look real to me the first time I watched it, and I will say working in a dead mall, this pretty well encompasses the vibes of what happens when you’re there but not alone. I’ve had a few times in my mall where I thought I was, but got proved wrong and it shook me so bad.

Excellent work recreating Valley View. I was officially creeped out when I saw the AMC. Having walked through the actual abandoned mall when it still stood I can say it was pretty much just as creepy in real life lol

I wouldn't really call it terrifying. Overall mallsoft as a genre is very relaxing despite falling under the liminal category. The whole grandiose feeling of those long gone malls, makes you feel nostalgic, like you're back in the 90s in some mall in America on a Sunday afternoon just strolling through and shopping, seeing random people and just admiring the architecture even if the mall is empty. This video on the other hand, sure is creepy and terrifying, being chased by an entity but I feel like that's not what true mallsoft is. But it's a fun spin on the genre nonetheless.

Yeah, I agree. Like, I *knew* Wyatt was going to die - as that is usually what happens to protagonists in these videos - but his death hurt a lot more than the deaths of any of the protagonists in the Backrooms videos, despite it being predictable. That's because of just how *real* his character seemed. We got to spend a lot more time with Wyatt than with the other protagonists of these videos, and he seemed like a geniunely great and likeable guy. Not to mention brave, too. A bit *too* brave, if I'm being honest, going down the staircase *TWO* times despite being scared shitless the first time. He even says in this video that "this thing is obviously not a joke" WHILE WALKING TO SAID THING. JUST *WHY??* He was either really brave, really curious, or *really* thirsty for views. I think it's a combination of all of them, because once again, Wyatt was *extremely* brave and quick-witted, and perceptive. Not only was he capable of thinking clearly and using intelligent strategies to evade the monster, he could also improvise quickly if those strategies failed. Many people - including me - probaply wouldn't be able to do things like that in Wyatt's place, due to being so overrun with fear and confusion. The fact that he was able to stay so level-headed the entire time, despite clearly being terrified, is both astounding and commendable. What is even *more* astounding is the fact that, as you said, he tried to bargain with the Giant after realizing that nobody is controlling it. After realizing that it's a *monster.* HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN JUST STARE A *MONSTER* STRAIGHT INTO THE EYE AND TRY TO TALK IT OUT WITH IT? And he tried to do it *again* at the end when he was cornered. Like, seriously, that "WHAT DO YOU WANT?!" felt so *real.* It was *so* full of confusion, desperation, fear and maybe a bit of anger? And the *scariest* part about it was definitely the monster actually *replying,* since the reply consisted of showing Wyatt dead things on the ground. I cannot imagine anything scarier than being completely unarmed and cornered by a monster, asking it what it wants, trying to talk it out with it one last time, and the monster telling you that it wants you dead. That would leave anyone trembling with fear, and yet Wyatt *still pushed on.* Despite clearly being in denial ("you gotta be fucking kidding me" and "everything's fine"), he was still able to focus on survival first. Like...I could go on and on and on about this, but I think you get my point. He was *such* a great character and was humanized *so* perfectly, despite only being on screen for two episodes. This entire video was just solid 35 to 40 minutes of him being tortured, and it was awful to watch (in the best way), and it hurt suprisingly lot to see him die, especially since he was so close to the exit, and *especially* since he had the most realistic chances of survival out of all of Kane's characters due to his bravery and intelligence. Like, I'm telling you, Wyatt would *dominate* the Backrooms if he ever no-clipped into them, lol. Scary as they are, the only real threat in them seems to be the Bacteria, and while it is a terrifying monster as well, no doubt about that, it is not nearly as scary, powerful or intelligent as the Giant. I'm sure Wyatt would deal with it easily, considering how long he survived against the Giant.

Gotta say the reaction to opening that gate was the most genuine reaction I’ve ever seen in horror, and it’s some crap I’d pull too. Your stuff is far better than big companies and “mainstream horror”, I think. Like, I’m numb to most jump scares and mainstream horror so something keeps me on edge and wants to quit watching but can’t at the same time is golden to me. Keep up the good work, love it you’re great.

I come back to this vid from time to time. It amazes me how well it captures the feeling of a nightmare. Like it's not a scary video in the traditional scary movie sense, it's like watching someone's nightmare. The sense of isolation, being alone, things being normal but not quite normal, sounds and vision changing as you move along, being defenseless and chased. So good!

I love how smart the Rolling Giant seems to be. It deceives Wyatt first in the dark, not moving and kind of just appearing in the background in 18:16, but then deceives him again as it tricks Wyatt into thinking it can't move while observed at 31:30. THEN AGAIN, it tricks Wyatt into believing it can't go up the stairs and goes up them later on. The fact that it can even trick people is already terrifying, changing the rules that you thought you knew. Beautiful work man.

It’s not just the monster, the whole horror revolved around giving hope and taking it away. First he gets scared and runs back because of the loud noise from the door (so at first there is a sense of “I can go back if things get dangerous) but then the stairs are gone. Later there is the hope from the map suggesting that just like a real mall there are other exits and then these exits do exist but are blocked too, then finally there is one exit that really can take him out and the giant can’t follow him all the way, he is almost there and then he falls

I can't shake the feeling that this is the same feeling an animal gets when it is being hunted and trapped. Finding a place that should be familiar and safe, exploring out of sheer curiosity, and then discovering slowly that it's been engineered to simply make you feel that way long enough to seal your fate.

Although I agree with this statement, I am 90% that at 30:39 the doll was acting like a weeping angel just to fuck with the guy. Or at 41:16 where you can see three signs with the doll and massive "We're back." written on it. I think the doll itself placed them there to remind the protag that he can't hide from it, and that it is in fact, back.

I love how he mentioned the backrooms as something you see on social media, subtly informing us/confirming to us that this series is not related to his previous one where the backrooms were unknown to the general public. This is more in that surreal catagory of fiction that posits that reality isnt solid. Sometimes impossible things happen. A mall displaced or replicated into solid stone miles underground, stalked by the memory of an artwork that was shown there. There were presumably only two entrances/exits, so noone need ever know it is there. Had wyatt not found it it might have simply blinked back out of existence, replaced by solid ground. And it still might now that his journey is over.

Did anybody else notice that when Wyatt looks back for the statue one last time before trying to exit using the rooftop at exactly 45:04, the monster is gone even though it was there just a second ago, but the cart it was rolling on is still there. This is such a weird little detail but if the monster can move from the cart and did so in the last seconds this most likely means it came to push him down before he was able to leave and was most likely toying with him this entire time.

The little detail of the final light in the tunnel being the only one that was out gave me chills for some reason

The scariest thing about the giant (imo anyway) is how it toys with him, and by extension us, by letting him THINK he understands the rules it follows before breaking each one. Like at first Wyatt seems to assume it will only move if he’s not looking at it, but then it charges at him. Then he runs up the escalator and it doesn’t follow, leading him to assume that it CANT, but later it just effortlessly rises up the escalator to confront him. So unsettling, and a great way to subliminally build on the fear we’re already feeling,

It acts very much a like a predator, especially catlike in how it stalks him at first, only moving when he's not looking.

The Giant isn't a monster that's out of control. It's BEYOND control. Any semblance of hope in the situation gets snuffed out, just beyond Wyatt's reach, and that's what makes it both compelling and terrifying. Now that I think about it, it's actually quite rare that you get to see so much of a monster in a horror film like this and the film remains scary after the initial reveal. I really like Kane's vision and I can't wait for more content from him.

As for the going down the stairs, in the video before he makes it to the shop that leads into the store before turning around, as far as he was concerned the only thing to be afraid of was the property owners. Even in a situation that doesn’t necessarily make sense, the default conclusion is never that a giant statue is going to crush you, or really anything paranormal to begin with. And especially when the monster does appear, he’s more cautious, and methodical about his trying to escape, and even uses blueprints to find an exit, something I don’t think even most people would’ve thought of. He was smart enough that had it not been for the steel beams breaking under him, he would’ve made it out completely unscathed.

The way the giant moves is absolutely terrifying. Something about it’s lack of any movement other than, of course, rolling, makes it completely horrifying to see. That, and it’s just overall uncanny-ness

The monster isn’t dependent on the wheels, meaning that it isn’t a stiff frozen statue, it could literally be a fast flexible organism/creature, which could explain how it disappears so many times with no wheel-noises. It could have legs underneath its robe, too.

Considering this creator is now officially a professional, hired by A24, this is extremely lazy, unoriginal, and just the Backrooms recycled. Instead of clipping into the Backrooms, he found a hole in the ground and climbed into the Backrooms mall. Objectively, to use the 'youtube' perspective at this point is a step back and honestly disappointing.

entering a labyrinth and then having all the exits close inexplicably is an extremely common horror trope

I took a picture next to that puppet when it and the mall still existed. They just had it placed in random parts of the mall during the art shows and people would move it around. It was ridiculous how unnerving it was both close up and from far away. I never thought I'd see it again, I couldn't believe it when I saw the thumbnail. I guess I and everyone else who was there in that moment in time are the perfect audience. Where a liminal space isn't just familiar, but may as well be a one-to-one recreation of a memory of a place that once actually existed but no longer does, as if from a dream, or in this case, a nightmare. The ideal liminal horror. That's honestly what I believe "the backrooms" should be as a concept, a place in between the cracks of space and time where all the forgotten places and memories of mankind come to founder, sinking to the bottom of reality. The way they manifest being an accumulation, or really amalgamation, of the memories of those who once inhabited these now sunken places, absorbed into the very foundation of each space. An extra-hyparxic time capsule, captured in layered moments where time itself seems to be in a constant state of collision as much as it is at a standstill. Purely ineffable and unpredictable in nature. Equally as terrifying as it is beautiful and nostalgic.

I thought of the Backrooms as something very similar: a physical manifestation of the collective subconscious of all 6 billion people on the planet. Whereas the seeming strange, irrational, and illogical appearance of much of it is just the same manner as our dreams would be. There may be a logical reason for all of its actuality, but it is subsumed within the conflicting thoughts and emotions of everyone everywhere. A lone pillar, strangely colored walls, conflicting materials, themed areas going on for miles may mean something, but it is like trying to describe a fading memory after waking up from sleep. It may be logical and have meaning to someone somewhere, but heck if the people there can figure it out.

I live right next to Collin creek mall and I've been to valley view countless times. I was wondering why the malls looked so familiar, then i realized why. Honesty sent shivers down my spine when i noticed the poster that said "valley view" .

The second I saw the initial Valley View Art Gallery poster/banner thing in the video, I did some quick research into them, because I half-expected it to start an ARG, and it was hard to tell if it was a real thing or not. Thanks for confirming it was a real place! It makes the video all the cooler to me!

I like how you made the valley view logo representing the underground mall. So many awesome subtle details. Just wow.

Nevermind lol thats the real logo. Worked out well 🤣

These videos are pure art

14 minutes in, I have to say that perhaps what is so terrifying about this video is the fact that we don't know how this world works. The darkness of the mall and the protagonist being freaked out throughout the video are sending me huge chills.

When I saw the monster I had the biggest chills in my life

I love that this monster is not a dumb monster that just runs at you mindlessly, but it actually deceived Wyatt 2 times and even watched it's prey before attacking, and the way it was able to lead him into traps and block off his exits and even teleporting him outside to lure more people in the mall shows that this thing has some level or complete control over this place once you enter the hall of the mall, it's not that patiant because it wanted to show him that your only exit is now blocked off before he could finish exploring and find it himself also it seems as it was just playing with him like a cat because it had many chances to catch him but it chose to not do it instead give him false sense of hope for an escape and then make him fall to his death after seeing a possible escape (stairs), it's especially scary that thing can go outside it seems like.

im pretty sure the things it did that you perceive as trying to "scare him" had an ulterior motive. I don't think its sole purpose of being in that mall is to just kill people.

Pretty sure that trashcan full of paper machete and branches just wanted to get emptied.

The thing doesn't have use of his arms if you haven't noticed so it's only way to kill him is to basically scare him into killing himself

The Giant cardboard characters here, do get a bit quirky at night

I will surely be looking out for a new Kane pixels video. This is the best cgi I have ever viewed. This is movie-level cgi no joke

Its crazy how good these are. So good that ive actually seen the first video on a channel that presented it as REAL. Ppl actually thought it was a legit real staircase.
