“One of the scariest, most unnerving, and spine-tingling horror films we’ve seen in a while.”

According to our own Ada Enechi, you won't want to miss out:

"In 2019, a 4chan forum posted a picture of a room, and that created a lore that would never be forgotten called The Backrooms. Kane Parsons, at 16 years old, made YouTube videos that expanded this world and added a creepiness to the image that no one would ever forget."

"In 2026, he is now a 20-year-old director who has created one of the scariest, most unnerving, and spine-tingling horror films we’ve seen in a while, called The Backrooms. It really explores how loneliness and untapped space can tickle the back of your brain like never before. It’s simple, it’s classic, it’s a love letter to the internet, and it must be watched."

Starring Chiwetel Ejiofor and Renate Reinsve, The Backrooms is a disturbing conceptual horror film in which the characters are stuck in the endless 'backrooms' of their memory and self-perception, being starkly confonted by their own loniliness.The Backrooms comes out in cinemas on May 29th, and judging by the initial reception, it's one to make sure you see.
