Backrooms Horror Debuts With Promise, Flaws

A new horror flick called Backrooms dives into the internet’s creepiest legend, directed by 20-year-old Kane Parsons—the youngest A24 director ever. Based on his viral YouTube videos, the film uses found-footage to chillingly immerse viewers in a maze-like, dimly lit dimension. While early scenes build strong tension, character arcs feel rushed and underdeveloped, especially with a therapist and a group of researchers whose roles feel unnecessary in a two-hour runtime. Despite its flaws, the movie’s financial success proves Parsons is a rising horror star—showing the next wave of scares is already here.
