Tottering, two-legged, stilt-gaited beasts. Only at a distance I can see them whole. Up close, they steeple over me, eclipsing the sun. Pale pompion heads lurching across the sky. As if the beeches had walked down from the the Hanger ...I still doubt the stability of the species.

'Backrooms' Movie Review: An uneasy and technical tour de force (2026)

Kane Parson’s feature directorial debut, Backrooms, is an impressive triumph in what feels like a recent horror renaissance. Built upon the fundamentals of Parson’s own web series of the same name and heavily inspired by 'creepypasta' lore, Backrooms is complimented by thrilling performances from Oscar-nominated Chiwetel Ejiofor (12 Years a Slave) and Renate Reinsve (Sentimental Value).

The aesthetics of the film are truly unmatched - with Parson’s attention to detail in creating a low-fidelity, analog horror-aesthetic focused on the seemingly infinite extra-dimensional complex of rooms - in a way that is surreal to our objective reality. This, combined with the internet phenomenon and fascination of liminal spaces, creates an unsettling atmosphere throughout the film - making the viewer feel uneasy, but unsure as to why. As quoted in the film, it’s as if one were to describe a dog to someone who has never seen one, and then ask them to draw one based solely on verbal description.  

Taking place in the early 90s, Ejiofor plays Clark - a man suffering from a failing marriage, a failed career and alcoholism. He meets Mary (Reinsve), a therapist frequented by thoughts of her own abusive past at the hands of her mother. Both give remarkable performances that delve well into their trauma as their paths intertwine in both their objective reality, and even more so as it devolves into the alternate reality of the Backrooms. Despite a heavy focus on characterization, the plot feels a bit disconnected and thin - which felt at odds with the almost dreamlike pacing of the movie, which adheres fine given the subject matter. In the end, it feels like perhaps a setup to a sequel or a franchise - a transitionary piece, much like the definition of a liminal space itself.

From a technical perspective, Backrooms is truly a tour de force - between the acting, production design, cinematography and the music (composed by Parsons and Edo Van Breemen). It is incredible at age 20 to have created such a distinct debut piece which stands apart on its own - it feels like a mix of Severance, the SCP universe & J-horror and found-footage, but much too unique to draw direct comparisons to each of the aforementioned. Definitely worth a watch as a horror fan - or for those wanting to experience something a bit different. A deep dive through the YouTube shorts isn’t necessary, but will perhaps give a sense of what you’re about to walk into.
