Backrooms transforms one of the internet’s most unsettling urban legends into a haunting psychological horror film. Directed by the viral filmmaker Kane Parsons, the movie follows a therapist drawn into a vast, maze-like dimension after one of her patients disappears through a mysterious doorway hidden beneath a furniture showroom. As reality begins to warp inside the endless fluorescent corridors, the film explores isolation, obsession, and the terror of spaces that feel eerily familiar yet completely wrong. Expanding on Parsons’s cult online series, Backrooms blends analog horror and surreal world-building into a disorienting descent through the unknown. —Carolina de Armas
