Backrooms | Official Promo HD | A24
Twenty-one year old filmmaker Kane Parsons didn't walk into Hollywood — he built his own door. His psychological horror film Backrooms became one of the most unlikely and thrilling success stories of the year, a film that started not in a studio pitch room but in the depths of the internet, its origins traced back to a single thread on the imageboard website 4chan, where the unsettling idea of an infinite liminal nightmare beyond the fabric of everyday reality first captured the collective imagination of the online world.
From that strange, digital beginning, Parsons shaped something genuinely cinematic — a film that resonated far beyond its cult internet roots and found audiences around the world who recognised in it something primal and deeply human. The kind of fear that doesn't announce itself loudly, but settles in quietly and refuses to leave.
Now, Backrooms returns to cinemas in an extended version titled Everything Must Go — fifteen additional minutes of footage that deepens the world Parsons has created and rewards both first-time viewers and those coming back for another look. It is a rare thing: a re-release that feels less like a commercial move and more like a filmmaker who simply isn't finished yet, who has more to say and more world to show. For audiences who have already been drawn into the eerie, maze-like universe of Backrooms, Everything Must Go is an invitation to go a little further in — and stay a little longer in the dark.
