Overview
- A24 released the first full trailer on Tuesday, confirming a nationwide theater launch on May 29 for the sci‑fi horror feature Backrooms.
- The official premise follows a therapist who enters an otherworldly dimension to find a missing patient, with the trailer teasing a doorway in a furniture store basement.
- Kane Parsons, known for viral Backrooms shorts on YouTube, directs in his feature debut, leading a cast that includes Chiwetel Ejiofor, Renate Reinsve, Mark Duplass, Finn Bennett, Lukita Maxwell, and Avan Jogia.
- Chernin Entertainment co‑finances alongside A24, with producers from James Wan’s Atomic Monster and Shawn Levy’s 21 Laps attached, and principal photography reported in Canada in July–August 2025.
- The campaign nods to the 2019 4chan origin, with posters echoing the line “If you’re not careful,” as the film expands the creepypasta and Parsons’ found‑footage aesthetic for a studio release.
