The first teaser trailer for the highly anticipated A24 horror film 'Backrooms' has officially been released today. Directed by 20-year-old YouTube sensation Kane Parsons (Kane Pixels), the film is a feature-length adaptation of his viral VFX horror series that garnered hundreds of millions of views. The eerie one-minute teaser features stars Chiwetel Ejiofor and Renate Reinsve discussing a massive, infinite series of rooms discovered behind a mysterious door in a furniture showroom's basement.
The film, penned by Westworld writer Will Soodik, also stars Mark Duplass, Finn Bennett, and Lukita Maxwell. The teaser showcases a hybrid of live-action and Blender-rendered visuals, staying true to the "liminal space" aesthetic that defined the original 4chan creepypasta. American audiences can expect to see the film in cinemas on May 29, 2026, while a UK release date is yet to be confirmed.
