- Hipster ZOMBIE1. Juni 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.

Kahle, verschachtelte Büroflure, endlose beige-gelbe Wände, ein unaufhörliches, unerträglich lautes Surren von Leuchtstoffröhren: Die „Backrooms“ beschreiben eine neue Art von Albtraum, eine menschenleere Parallelwelt sich wiederholender, fensterloser Stockwerke, die unsere Realität auf den ersten Blick spiegelt und sich ihr doch mit jedem Schritt weiter entzieht. Verstörend verlassen wirken die labyrinthischen Räume, doch allein ist man dort nicht...
