AI-animated satire from DOOOD What The?!. Reacts to a real news story; see transcript below.
Dooood! What the? Okay, check this out. A twenty year old YouTuber just directed the biggest horror movie of the summer. He made the Backrooms in his bedroom at sixteen. Now A24 handed him a hundred million dollars. I just liked filming empty hallways. That was the whole idea. They said it was a metaphor for dread. I thought it was just carpet. James Wan produces it now. I still cannot rent a car. Hollywood spent a decade ignoring new ideas. Then a teenager filmed a hallway and beat all of them. Duuude... What the. (sigh)
A twenty-year-old YouTuber known for creating 'The Backrooms' at sixteen.
The creator filmed empty hallways, initially thinking it was just about the carpet but later A24 saw it as a metaphor for dread.
A24 has given him a $100 million budget to direct his new horror film.
DOOOD highlights the irony that Hollywood, which often ignores fresh ideas, suddenly embraced a concept created in a bedroom by a teenager.
James Wan, known for producing successful horror films like 'The Conjuring,' is now involved with this new project, indicating the industry's shift towards embracing unconventional ideas.
