This week we venture into the Backrooms, the highly anticipated adaptation of the internet horror phenomenon that transformed a single unsettling image into one of the most recognizable pieces of modern creepypasta. Expanding on the viral concept and Kane Parsons' acclaimed short films, Backrooms brings the endless maze of fluorescent-lit hallways to the big screen.
We discuss how the film translates internet folklore into a feature-length experience, the challenges of building a story around a concept rooted in mystery, and whether the movie captures the uncanny dread that made the original phenomenon so effective. From liminal spaces and analog horror aesthetics to the fear of isolation and the unknown, Backrooms taps into a uniquely modern form of terror.
Join us as we explore the atmosphere, scares, and world-building behind one of the most anticipated horror adaptations in recent memory—and ask whether some doors are better left unopened.
