“Backrooms” has finally arrived on streaming, just under two months after the horror movie made its theatrical debut. Based on Kane Parsons’ viral YouTube horror series, the film expands the internet phenomenon into a full-length nightmare, following a therapist who ventures into an endless, terrifying dimension after a strange doorway beneath a furniture showroom leads to the mysterious Backrooms.
What started as a creepy online concept inspired by the infamous Backrooms creepypasta quickly became one of YouTube’s biggest modern horror sensations, with Parsons’ unsettling found-footage videos building an entire mythology around the mysterious space.
