The landscape of horror is redefined in ominous teaser for A24’s Backrooms

With his original upload, Kane Parsons redefined the landscape of horror for a new generation.

Now, making his feature debut, Backrooms will expand the terror for the big screen, with Academy Award nominees Chiwitel Ejiofor and Renate Reinsve leading the charge as a therapist ventures into an otherworldly dimension in the basement of a furniture showroom in search of her missing patient.

Written by Will Soodik, and crediting both James Wan (Saw) and Osgood Perkins (Longlegs) as producers, Backrooms will unleash its terror in Australian theatres from May 28th, 2026.
