Liminal spaces are the subject of an Internet aesthetic portraying empty or abandoned places that appear eerie, forlorn, and often surreal. Liminal spaces are commonly places of transition (pertaining to the concept of liminality) or of nostalgic appeal.

Not hating on the attempt, hope everyone enjoys it, and I'm definitely curious.
But the trailer didn't look like it was really nailing it (imo). The analog horror angle with the VHS scanlines is a choice I don't know about anymore... Feels a bit contrived at that point. People forget it was the association with an actual haunted VHS that made it creepy - it's not just a filter. But maybe I've misjudged from the (refreshingly vague) trailer.
Who knows, maybe if they go really fanficy it can keep the creepiness of original lore? But I feel like A24 has a hard time making anything that isn't super swish, so my suspicion is they'll just kill thee aesthetic.
But again, that could be all wrong. I will never have not been suspicious of a feature length visual adaptation of anything SCP adjacent.
