Directed by Kane Parsons and based on his viral YouTube series, ‘Backrooms’ follows Clark, a furniture store owner whose basement opens a strange doorway into an alternate dimension of endless, fluorescent-lit yellow rooms. Chiwetel Ejiofor leads the cast as Clark, alongside Renate Reinsve, Mark Duplass, Finn Bennett, and Lukita Maxwell, with the film marking Parsons’ feature directorial debut at just nineteen years old. Currently playing in theatres from May 29, 2026, the original YouTube series that started it all is available to watch for free on the Kane Pixels channel and makes for essential viewing before seeing the film.
