Mary (Renate Reinsve) is his therapist, but she has a lot of baggage of her own to process. They'll both have to confront the darkest recesses of their minds after Clark finds a mysterious doorway in the basement of his store.<div><br></div><div><i>Backrooms</i>&nbsp;finds its origins in deep internet lore, where a 2003 image of an empty, yellowed office space was uploaded to imageboard 4chan in 2019, accompanied by a one-paragraph long "creepypasta". In 2022, then 16-year-old Kane Parsons began uploading his DIY <i>Backrooms</i>&nbsp;webseries to YouTube. Now, in 2026, the 20-year-old steps into the world of feature film directing with what has became A24's biggest selling-sensation and a fascinating expansion to the world he created, diving into the horrors of memory and its fallibity when faced with trauma and a changing world.</div>HorrorPT1H51M152026-07-31
