It's a success story even I, someone who's terminally online, didn't expect. "Backrooms" has raked in over $200 million at the box office, making it A24's highest-grossing film to date. What started as a creepy pasta is now one of the biggest horror phenomena of the modern era.
"Backrooms" taps into our collective fascination and unease with liminal spaces, places that feel familiar yet undeniably off in a way it's hard to put our finger on. With its endless yellow hallways, eerie silence and constant sense that something might be lurking just out of sight, it's a concept that clearly has captivated audiences.
