"A24's adaptation of The Backrooms actually looks like a proper elevated horror movie, featuring Oscar winner Chiwetel Ejiofor and Cannes favorite Renate Reinsve onboard."
"Kane Parsons, also known as Kane Pixels, made a splash four years ago with his original Backrooms shorts, which have amassed over 73 million views on YouTube."
"Parsons has a strong eye for slow-burn horror, and the trailer alone is making viewers feel uneasy about dimly lit spaces."
"The Backrooms joins Genki Kawamura's adaptation of the game Exit 8, both exploring spooky liminal spaces but with different narrative freedoms."
A24's adaptation of The Backrooms is an elevated horror film featuring Chiwetel Ejiofor and Renate Reinsve. Directed by 20-year-old Kane Parsons, known for his viral Backrooms shorts, the film combines creepypasta elements with A24's horror aesthetic. Parsons has a strong background in slow-burn horror, creating a sense of unease. The film joins other adaptations like Genki Kawamura's Exit 8, exploring themes of liminal spaces. The Backrooms offers more narrative freedom compared to Exit 8, which is limited by its game origins.
