A24 has released the official trailer for Backrooms, a chilling new horror film based on the viral internet phenomenon that has captivated millions. Directed by Kane Parsons, the project expands on his original YouTube series, bringing the eerie concept of “liminal spaces” to the big screen.
The trailer dives into a disturbing world of endless, maze-like rooms filled with flickering lights and an unsettling atmosphere. At the center of the story is a mysterious doorway that leads into an alternate dimension, where reality begins to break down and danger lurks in every corner.

Starring Chiwetel Ejiofor, Renate Reinsve, and Mark Duplass, Backrooms blends psychological horror with found-footage elements, staying true to the unsettling tone that made the original series a viral hit. The film is set to hit theaters on May 29, 2026, and is already building major anticipation among horror fans.
