Summary
- A24 brings internet horror meme Backrooms to film.
- Chiwetel Ejiofor discovers portal to other dimension.
- Film adaptation of Kane Parsons' viral web series.
A24 is set to release a cinematic adaptation of the popular internet horror phenomenon, The Backrooms. The film, helmed by its original creator, 17-year-old Kane Parsons, expands on the unsettling concept of an interdimensional space filled with endless hallways and cryptic secrets.
Chiwetel Ejiofor stars as a furniture store owner who stumbles upon an entry point into The Backrooms. The trailer showcases him and a group venturing into this mysterious dimension, encountering unseen dangers and hinting at the involvement of his therapist, played by Renate Reinsve.
Based on a 2019 4chan post that envisioned a dimension accessed by "no-clipping" through reality, The Backrooms has evolved into numerous interpretations online. Parsons' web series is the most prominent, featuring both the eerie emptiness and lurking creatures.
The upcoming movie, scheduled for release on May 29, 2026, is expected to offer a more direct narrative exploration of this lore. While it may not provide all the answers, it aims to deliver a terrifying story that resonates with the original's mysterious appeal.
