Friday Family Film Night: BACKROOMS review

In which Kid 2 joins me in reviewing BACKROOMS (2026), a supernatural horror feature debut from director Kane Parsons, from a script by Will Soodik and based on Kane Parsons's series.  A struggling furniture store owner named Clark (Chiwetel Ejiofor) discovers a mysterious, glowing doorway in his showroom that leads him into an infinite, unsettling dimension of yellow-hued, empty rooms.  When Clark vanishes into this liminal nightmare, his therapist, Mary (Renate Reinsve), begins a desperate search to find him, only to be drawn into the same surreal maze that preys upon their deepest personal traumas.  As the boundaries of reality unravel, the pair must navigate the physics-defying environment to survive the chilling, atmospheric threat lurking within the endless corridors.  The film clocks in at 1 h 50 m, is rated R and is currently in theaters - go check it out.  Please note there are SPOILERS in this review.#Backrooms #KaneParsons #WillSoodik #RenateReinsve #Mary #ChiwetelEjiofor #Clark #MarkDuplass #Phil #FinnBennett #Bobby #LukitaMaxwell #Kat #AvanJogia #NarenWarne #RobertBobroczkyi #PirateClark #FoundFootageHorror #PsychologicalHorror #PsychologicalThriller #SupernaturalHorror #Horror #SciFi #Thriller #NewRelease #InTheaters  #FridayFamilyFilmNightBreak music by Olive G: OMG - Composition Number 1Opening intro music: GOAT by Wayne Jones, courtesy of YouTube Audio Library
