I'd like to think that Kane Pixels will include the most insane twists imaginable, so much that everyone's theories will end up being dead in the water.

I’m just hoping that Kane focuses more on the liminal elements of the Backrooms for the movie instead of the SCP-esc/monster aspects the internet added in later on

Personally, I think the monster doesn't just wonder the backrooms, it is the entity manifesting them. When it kills people, it doesn't seem to eat them like an animal looking for food. I think when it catches people it feeds on their memories of the real world. That's why we often see the places people would remember well, bedrooms, living rooms, and office rooms.

I absolutely love the mindset of "Oh wow, our theory was wrong. I'm so excited by this! That means I get to start over again!" This is the mentality all fans should have when their headcanon is proven wrong.

What if the Backrooms aren't an entity of its own, but a complex network of memories, and ideas of multiple people. A Mandela Effect made real. Memories overlapping, creating something alien to all, because every individual is remembering something differently.

Stephen King, Room 1408. It is its own self-contained backroom before the concept was on the internet. Got adapted to film too, pretty darn good.
