A strange doorway leading to a vast underground labyrinth appears in the basement of a furniture showroom in this unclassifiable instant spooky classic.
A therapist (Renate Reinsve – Sentimental Value) ventures into a mysterious, liminal dimension after her patient (Chiwetel Ejiofor – 12 Years a Slave) inexplicably vanishes deep inside a suburban furniture showroom. As she searches the seemingly endless labyrinth of anonymous spaces, she begins to feel that she might not be alone.
Inspired by a 2019 4chan image of an empty yellow-carpeted office space, Kane Parsons’ nine-minute “found-footage” horror shortBackrooms has racked up 77 million views on YouTube since he posted it four years ago when he was just 16. This feature-length adaptation of the global phenomenon makes Kane Parsons the youngest director in A24’s history at age 20.
