Where to Watch Backrooms
- GrifGrifhace 13 hThis movie is a love letter to internet stories and legends. The highlight is the director who has clearly understood the assignement and doesn't take his audience for dummies and really offer an elaborated experience where you need to think and get immersed. An absolute love towards visual clues to understand story points instead of explicitely telling things to the spectator like they are 5.
- Hipster ZOMBIE1 de junio de 2026What began as an anonymous creepypasta on 4chan has now evolved into a full blown feature film with A24’s unsettling adaptation of The Backrooms. Directed by series creator Kane Parsons, the film expands his viral web mythology into a suffocating psychological horror experience that feels less like a traditional movie and more like a waking fever dream you can’t escape. For the uninitiated, The Backrooms is essentially that recurring nightmare where the hallway keeps stretching farther away no matter how fast you walk, blended with the sterile emptiness of abandoned office spaces humming under fluorescent lights. Random junk litters endless yellow corridors, reality folds in on itself, and there’s seemingly no exit. Chiwetel Ejiofor delivers a quietly devastating performance as Clark, a man already trapped in the soul-crushing monotony of his own life before stumbling through a multidimensional doorway into the ominous labyrinth known as the Backrooms. Saying much more would spoil the film’s carefully layered mysteries. Renate Reinsve is equally compelling as Mary, Clark’s therapist, whose own fractured emotional state may be more connected to the Backrooms than the film initially lets on. Rather than relying on cheap jump scares, Parsons leans heavily into atmosphere, existential dread, and the terror of isolation. The result is hypnotic, unnerving, and deeply ambiguous. Its open-ended finale is certain to spark endless debate, especially among longtime fans of the mythos. Some horror audiences may find its slow-burn psychological approach frustrating, particularly those expecting a more conventional scare fest. But for viewers willing to surrender to its strange rhythms and oppressive mood, The Backrooms is one of the most haunting and uniquely unsettling horror films A24 has released in a while.
- DavCharhace 16 hThis was just so...lame. I kept waiting for it to get scary, and it never did. A man who is basically a narcissist finds another dimension in the basement of his store, and decides to stay there. Also, it is being monitored by scientists somewhere. And there are weird "creatures" that live there. And there is a "therapist" who is trying to help the narcissist, and goes looking for him in the other dimension. And during all this, nothing happens. So frustrating. How this became the number two horror film of 2026 is beyond me, because IT WASN'T SCARY.
- George20 de junio de 2026It was pretty good. Some very creepy stuff and concepts. Some game & lore Easter eggs, overall solid but It's got some issues. It did its job well enough to where I want more for sure. For 20 year olds directing debut, this was shot and filmed so well. They made sure that 10 million budget was put to good use. Looking forward to more from young Kane Parsons! My issues 1. Wish it had more found footage sequences or even the whole movie. The best parts were those we did have. 2. The monster was... an interesting decision... meh. 3. Felt like I was missing an Act between acts 2 & 3. Needed some more in between those & I think you'll agree once you watch it. 3. They gave us way too many answers. (Kind of)
- Patrick Waihace 1 dSome movies want to tell you a story. Backrooms wants you to experience a feeling. The first half reminded me of the first time I watched Dark City. I had absolutely no idea what was happening, yet I couldn’t stop watching. The mystery isn’t built around solving a puzzle as much as surrendering to an overwhelming sense of unease and disorientation. The lead performances are excellent, grounding an otherwise surreal world with believable emotions. Without their commitment, the movie’s dreamlike logic probably wouldn’t work nearly as well. I also loved the minimalist approach. The sparse locations, restrained dialogue, and lingering silence create an atmosphere that’s both hypnotic and unsettling. The entire film plays like a nightmare where everything almost makes sense, but never quite does. That persistent feeling of strangeness isn’t a flaw, it’s the entire point. The story itself is relatively straightforward, and seasoned viewers may even predict where it’s heading. But that’s almost beside the point. This isn’t a movie you watch for plot twists. You watch it for the sensation of being trapped inside a place that refuses to obey the normal rules of reality. The film is intentionally ambiguous and never feels obligated to explain itself. That alone will divide audiences. Some people will find it frustrating, while others will find that ambiguity irresistible. I’m firmly in the latter camp. One fun surprise for me was hearing references to streets around San Jose. Whether the writer or director has roots there or simply knows the area well, those little details briefly anchored me in reality before the movie pulled me right back into its unsettling world. This definitely isn’t a film for everyone. If you need every mystery wrapped up neatly, you’ll probably leave disappointed. But if you’re willing to embrace confusion, atmosphere, and the strange logic of dreams, Backrooms delivers a haunting experience that lingers long after it ends.
