The film follows a chilling premise: a strange doorway appears in the basement of a furniture showroom, leading into a disorienting and seemingly endless maze of rooms.

Chiwetel Ejiofor and Renate Reinsve lead the cast, alongside Mark Duplass, Finn Bennett and Lukita Maxwell.

The movie is based on Kane Parsons‘ viral Backrooms series on YouTube, which gained massive attention online for its unsettling liminal space horror concept.

The screenplay is written by Will Soodik.

“I can’t say anything about the story, and I really do want to protect it for Kane. His mind is a backroom, and a beautiful place, a beautiful, liminal space that is somehow not human and beyond all of us,” Mark teased in an interview last year.

“But what I will say is that I have always fancied myself someone who loves to mentor young filmmakers and be around them, and I think that’s part of the reason why I got that gig was thinking, ‘You know what? Kane is 19 and he’s directing a huge studio movie for the first time. It’d probably be good to have Mark around, who’s really good at mentoring people,’ you know? And I was fully ready to do that, and got there, and I was like, ‘This guy is so in charge and knows every detail down to the last thing.’ He was so patient and good with the actors, with us. It was so impressive to watch him command that set in a lovely and humble way. So, look, I don’t know how it’s all going to come together. We’re going to have to see. But I feel very, very comfortable in his hands.”

Backrooms will be released exclusively in theaters on May 29. Watch the official trailer above!
