Backrooms star debunks bizarre rumor the new horror movie from 20-year-old director was "ghost directed" by its more well-known producers

Renate Reinsve as Dr. Mary Kline in Backrooms.

Backrooms is already lining up to be a huge hit for A24 as the new horror movie directed by Kane Parsons tracks for a big box office opening. Based on the creepypasta internet theory about a space called The Backrooms and a YouTube web series, the new sci-fi horror stars Chiwetel Ejiofor and Renate Reinsve as they navigate an otherworldly dimension of never-ending office spaces.

This is director Parsons' debut film at the tender age of just 20 and as a result there have been some unfounded internet rumors circulating about his role. This is especially the case because the film is produced by several well-known filmmakers, including Insidious' James Wan, Deadpool and Wolverine's Shawn Levy, and Longlegs' Osgood Perkins.
