Kane Parsons Adapts Viral Backrooms Series Into A24 Horror Film

Director Kane Parsons adapts his viral YouTube "Backrooms" series into an A24 feature film starring Chiwetel Ejiofor as a troubled furniture-store owner who discovers a surreal, infinite maze of empty rooms. The experimental horror film channels internet meme aesthetics and liminal space imagery, drawing comparisons to "Eraserhead" and "Skinamarink." The 20-year-old filmmaker transforms creepypasta internet folklore into atmospheric cinema.
