The synopsis stays deliberately tight: an odd door appears in the basement of a furniture store. This premise links the film to the central idea of the Backrooms—the notion of a doorway into an seemingly ordinary space, but governed by a troubling and unstable logic.
The trailer cements the project’s foothold in a horror born of the emptiness of space, with featureless corridors and ordinary spaces turned menacing. The film thus extends an online-born sensibility rather than a traditional studio franchise, with A24 producing and Kane Parsons directing.
The cast brings together Chiwetel Ejiofor, Renate Reinsve, who also appears in Julie (in 12 Chapters), and Mark Duplass. Backrooms sits at the crossroads of horror and science-fiction cinema, with a French release date already set.
