Incidentally, Valley View’s mall cops were about as arbitrarily menacing as this entity.

I think it's pretty obvious that the man in "Renewal" really is Julien Reverchon and I guess this clears up a alot of things going on here.

Awesome comment, I didn’t know that! Thanks yuge

ayo, Kane Pixels loved this comment, which kinda confirms what you're saying. I'm thinking that things from the past, that don't exist anymore, are somehow coming back to the present in odd ways. Like how the Dallas mall is completely gone, but there is the same mall underground and yet still has access to electricity. Kane is a real one for coming up with this

hideous sculpture, don't know what that guy was thinking. If i was a kid going through that mall, it would genuinely be nightmare fuel. I wonder if Kane is from Dallas and went to that mall which is why he knows this story so well.

It was pretty chill until the monster started chasing him

absolutely, i was praying for the lights to be turned on to feel more comfortable but i definitely regretted immediately

​@@RIP_Rxninsame dude it felt a bit like that anemoiapolis game its a liminal game thing with horror but its really toned down and i felt really chill most of the time i was playing anemoiapolis.

Thats because it went from "What could be down here with me?" to "what is down here with me?"

Not to mention, when he gets inside of the mall, he walls slowly as to make as little sound as possible

The mall decided to teach a rude customer a lesson lmao

I love when he says "Hey...hey!" at the Giant at 32:17. Prior to that, the Giant established the rule - it can't move while he's looking at it. And then, it breaks that rule. At that moment, he's like a little kid, saying "Hey, no fair!"

Sounds like you do know why it was so damn creepy

@@EverTheFractal Yeah, that's what I meant by that, it's genuine fear, but he's trying to hide that so it won't continue to follow him, but it didn't work. It continued to follow him, up until the end.

FACTS

Sometimes darkness can hide you. Plus it at least gave the impression he was alone. When everything is on, its clear theres something alive around him.

@@Newms118 if this was real i would just end it all just nope bye bye

Yeah, I really liked that. Typically in movies the lights go off to indicate something is wrong, but here it’s the opposite. 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.

I mean, it IS a KZfaq video

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

shut up

The smell of cut grass could also be from the gas Phosgene Its a rarely used chemical weapon

Good spot. It's interesting that the mall displays the hostility of the natural world while also presenting the bizarre unnatural environment humans have constructed for themselves as no less threatening. The guy literally meets his end by hostile architecture. It's like the giant was some spirit or aspect of nature mutilated by the building of the mall. The artists somehow embodied it in the parade of giants.

I mean, wyatt is more exploring the place. Hes not really doing any damage, and when he finds an exit at 29:20 the giant seems to not want him to be there. Almost like it doesn't want him to leave. I feel like the scent of cut grass might be referencing something else. Not sure what though.

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.

He’s totally a tea guy. Good call.

@@livjames8624 you get it.

i wanna give him a hug, what danger could it even do? seems like it just wanted to meet him

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.

But, I mean, big scary giant that chases you and can break concrete seems more horror/terror. Like I wouldn’t describe the KP back rooms as that kind of liminal feeling when you’re getting chased by a bacteria stick man. In the end the goal is unsettling like you’re saying until horror.@@hexadecimal973

I was shaking, my ears were hot, my forehead even hotter u was terrified bro,

@@thepuggest4202 SAME LOL

@@MDProductions5772 He clearly used a lot of good source photos / footage. I've been to that mall many dozens of times, and the way he portrayed it is extremely recognizable.

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.

Yes a real mall. It remained open with a few stores until earlier this year and was only torn down less than 6 months ago.

Beautiful comment, SodiumVaporDreams. This video had me caught up in its suspense all on its own -- I can't imagine how mind-boggling this video is to those of you who were familiar with this location and that creepy giant art exhibit!

The scary part is it showed intelligence by camping the stairs, which was seemingly the safe point.

This thing might move incredibly fast due to it disappearing behind the pillar at that one scene, it's trolling him from beginning to end..

​@@snuffs.Poor Giant... He only wanted him to find the way out. I think the giant was protecting him against a hidden threat. He never showed aggresions or Hostile behavior. He even helped him to find the real exit.

@@aesthetic8780yeah 😢… hopefully it wasn’t in vain and the giant managed to catch him after he fell!

​@aesthetic8780 hmm...you could be right because it didn't show any aggression, but then again just imagine that thing chasing you around the mall.I would probably have a heart attack a couple times if i was there.

Everything about how he was humanized made this so much worse. Even just him talking about college stuff in the beginning built up the dread later on so much more

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.

it's a well-directed piece

@@terraristit3752 important to note, the giant didn't kill him. if the exit didn't collapse, he would have escaped.

When it moved while he was looking and he said "hey hey hey" like he's trying to tell it its breaking the rules or when it came up the stairs and he said "you gotta be kidding"

Another thing too is at the end he waits by the stairs when everything turned plantlike. 42:30

@@youngreal1101 YEAH! Because it knows that Wyatt thinks the stairs are a safe place!

Somewhat different, in Dr Who I believe the original Daleks couldn't go up stairs, a later version of them then could which was terrifying

It straight up shows him a vision of... Unalive things on the ground too when Wyatt asks it what it wants from him. The thing is not only sentient, but intentionally malicious, and potentially mocking too.

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

So much this. How many movies and games have their antagonists stop and roar at the viewer/player BEFORE engaging in anything remotely threatening?

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.

nah man that thing crumpled those aluminum stairs with the intent of crushing the mc with.

A lot of this was filmed in an abandonment mall 20 minutes from where I live.

nevermind it's an abandoned mall

the amount of realism you can achieve with dense meshes, image noise, realistic textures and camera shake is incredible, and the audio is very well done

It goes from 'wow that's creepy but it's just a statue' to ''it can move but only when I'm not looking' to 'it can move but it can't go up the stairs' to IT CAN USE THE ESCALATOR AND IS GOING TO KILL ME

From his point of view, this was a large abandoned mall with no purpose. I mean, obviously a ton of smart people wouldn’t let curiosity get the best of them, but no average person, especially a vlogger, would expect the exit to get completely blocked off behind them, and a giant intelligent statue monster thing out to get them.

@@NeverGonnaGyeah by the elevator by amc where it says el Mercado on the wall in the real mall there’s no wall

I’m not trying to give you nightmares but near the end before Wyatt falls, he looks back to see the monster but it disappears. What’s creepy is, if you look closely, only the wheels of its cart remain. Meaning that, not only has the giant fooled Wyatt many other times, but he fooled him about his characteristics too. 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.

@agannuhi6937 it does explain why we don't hear the wheels scratching off the ground, but why does it ram into the ramp before Wyatt falls? And why does it still strike the same pose as always after backing off from smashing the ramp/wall? (Also, at the end, when we see Wyatt's lifeless corpse as it pans to the forest, you can see the giants face amongst the trees.)

Underrated comment

That's not a fact, that's your interpretation...

@@MrNotSpecified01 In that case, I'd say that it's more of a fact in a fact than an interpretation. :)

I’m guessing an arsonist or somebody broke into the mall while it was near its end and either threw a Molotov, lit a flammable part of the mall on fire or electrical failure happened and something caught fire because of it.

So I'm guessing this mall's going through some kind of time loop

I agree completely! the noise at 29:30ish made me jump out my skin for a sec and the reaction to the noise kept me there. You don't even get that in a good horror film anymore

The audio engineering is top-of-line, but the acting... the reactions given are perfectly believable. Even down to the fear-breathing. People who don't know do shallow rapid breaths. In reality, primal terror does the opposite, as instinct does everything possible to keep you hidden.

@@ohrliburli😂😂😂

@@ohrliburli you underestimate human curiosity, once he was there he made completely rational choices, and when things started to get weird (well weirder) he immediately tried to leave. 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.

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" .

Wow this vid must be crazy for you guys

As soon as I saw the "V" logo I was like holy shit this is Valley View and it's not demolished?!

I remember Collin Creek mall in the mid 2000s, there would be a shit load of Emo and goth people that would hang out their in that time, they always scared me 😂

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!
