BACKROOMS MOVIE REVIEW - KANE PARSONS HORRIFIED US! - FIRST TIME WATCHING!

from The Reel Rejects · host Reel Rejects

YOU WERE NEVER SUPPOSED TO FIND THIS DOOR… Tara Erickson & Roxy Striar experience A24’s Backrooms (2026) for the first time, reacting to Kane Parsons’ feature-length expansion of his viral Backrooms analog-horror series. In this Backrooms movie reaction and review, Tara & Roxy follow a mysterious doorway beneath a furniture showroom into an endless liminal maze filled with disorienting spaces, disturbing discoveries, terrifying creature encounters, and unpredictable jump scares. They also react to Backrooms: Everything Must Go, featuring 16 minutes of bonus footage, while discussing the unsettling ending, found-footage influences, massive practical sets, and visual effects that bring Kane Pixels’ internet phenomenon to life.

Directed and co-scored by Kane Parsons, with a screenplay by Will Soodik, Backrooms stars Chiwetel Ejiofor as Clark (12 Years a Slave, Doctor Strange), Renate Reinsve as Dr. Mary Kline (The Worst Person in the World, A Different Man), Mark Duplass as Phil (Creep, The Morning Show), Finn Bennett as Bobby (True Detective: Night Country, Warfare), and Lukita Maxwell as Kat (Shrinking, Generation), alongside Avan Jogia (Victorious, Zombieland: Double Tap). Tara & Roxy react to the furniture-store basement portal, the maze’s iconic yellow corridors, the film’s unnerving monster sequences, its blend of psychological and science-fiction horror, and Kane Parsons’ evolution from Blender-created YouTube shorts to an ambitious A24 feature.
