neutral · AI labelView post →Obsession and Backrooms show the power Gen Z filmmakers can have when they make quality horror films for other Zoomers. Successes like these can inspire an entire wave of filmmakers and movies. Sadly, I have a feeling Hollywood will take all the wrong lessons from them.
positive · AI labelView post →The official SCOOBY-DOO account is celebrating Halloween with a series of parody posters paying tribute to OBSESSION, BACKROOMS, WEAPONS and more. See the full lineup: bloody-disgusting.com/movie/397057...
neutral · AI labelView post →Kane Parsons says his priority is to tell more stories in the 'Backrooms' universe • Either in more films or a series • He also plans to continue releasing YouTube projects (via Indie Wire)
neutral · AI labelView post →Kane Parsons tells us that found-footage sequences in ‘BACKROOMS’ includes some parts entirely done in Blender like the YouTube series. “We're blending that with normal VFX work but there’s some sections that are entirely Blender - my normal pipeline - feeding in.”
neutral · AI labelView post →It's The Muppet Show in our very special guest location The Backrooms!
neutral · AI labelView post →This is Kane Parsons, the director of the Backrooms. At the age of 16, he created the Backrooms web series that has become a booming phenomenon. Now at the age of 20, he is now directing the movie based on his web series, making him the youngest director at A24.
neutral · AI labelView post →YES. THIS. I've been hesitant to suggest that the Backrooms movie is "about" AI, because the YouTube series started years before AI. But also, it's not NOT about AI. This isn't a spoiler because the movie remains vague, but as far as I can tell, canonically the Backrooms are procedurally generated.
neutral · AI labelView post →BACKROOMS WAS AMAZINGG Sometimes I wonder why I even bother watching every horror thing that comes out but then stuff like Weapons, The substance or this movie show up and I remember why, super cool movie, I'm glad more indie directors are finally getting their big breaks >_<
positive · AI labelView post →I talked to Kane Parsons about his incredible journey from turning a 4chan meme into a viral horror webseries at 16 years old and then the deeply unnerving feature film ‘Backrooms’—which is shattering A24’s record for opening weekend box office:
neutral · AI labelView post →Kinda getting Backrooms pilled, and a great way to show the movie's overwhelmingly Gen-Z and younger fanbase that I'm hip and cool is walking up to a bunch of them and saying I'm "kinda getting Backrooms pilled, friends."
neutral · AI labelView post →Backrooms wasn't an original film when you look at it from the perspective of already having been proven as a series of YouTube shorts. It's not just movies either. Book publishers now only get interested in something that's already proven to have an audience. The appetite for risk is non-existent.
negative · AI labelView post →I don't object in principle to putting a scary monster in your Backrooms-type media, but I feel strongly that you've entirely missed the point of the genre if at any point you actually show us the monster.
negative · AI labelView post →What an absolutely creepy vibe seeing The Backrooms in theaters was. Go see it if you enjoy horror. It’s refreshing. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a niche series transfer to the big screen so well. Still follow its own lore and expand at the same time. Loved it! Solid 9/10
positive · AI labelView post →Seated with the Mrs. to watch Backrooms 🟨 No knowledge of the web series so we're going in blind
neutral · AI labelView post →BACKROOMS takes you on a disturbing liminal voyage through the human mind. Read our review: bloody-disgusting.com/reviews/3953...
neutral · AI labelView post →a lot of ppl forming opinions on the Backrooms movie without having seen it and though I have yet to see it myself I would IMPLORE y'all to watch a few episodes of Kane's youtube series before jumping to conclusions. I promise, all that Backrooms slop/meme content you might've seen? this is NOT that
neutral · AI labelView post →Hollywood is serious about finding the next Backrooms: Steven Spielberg is producing THE MANDELA CATALOGUE, based on the viral YouTube series. Creator Alex Kister will direct.
neutral · AI labelView post →Wondering what is going on in those Backrooms trailers? Some thought on the creepypasta, the web series, the film, and the emerging aesthetic of Institutional Gothic via @mitpress.bsky.social thereader.mitpress.mit.edu/backrooms-an...
neutral · AI labelView post →that's the funny thing about it: when Kane Parsons made the first few installments in his own Backrooms series, he didn't really know anything about the wiki take on the Backrooms, and when he found out from the comments, he just kept doing his own thing instead
neutral · AI labelView post →While BACKROOMS ultimately works better as a series, Kane Parsons delivers a promising debut feature, firmly establishing himself as one to watch. I'm a sucker for liminal horror, and when BACKROOMS works, it's a waking nightmare. Easily the best creepypasta adaptation yet.
neutral · AI labelView post →Im really happy to see horror kicking ass right now and love that others are celebrating it too, but my cynical ass knows when we are five movies deep into the Backrooms series and have experienced a slew of Backrooms-alikes we are suddenly going to hear how the original movie killed cinema. 😂
neutral · AI labelView post →spent the last couple days watching all of Kane Pixels' Backrooms series *and* The Oldest View and god damn, no wonder A24 trusted this kid to direct a movie for them. also, I'm super fucked up now, thanks Kane
positive · AI labelView post →I think a lot of people are more worried about looking smarter than everybody then giving honest reviews on Movies/ shows. Because tell me why the main criticism I see for the Backrooms is “pacing bad” and “too many locations show over again” and “my fav fan made monster wasn’t in it”
positive · AI labelView post →Chat I finally watched Backrooms and I literally cant get it out of my head! Like I was a big fan of the web series and was so hype for the movie and it was everything I hoped it be (╥﹏╥) Heres a sketch of me i did inspired by the people you can find in the backrooms ｡𖦹°‧. ݁₊ ⊹ . 📽.ᐟ
positive · AI labelView post →I'm asking all of my movie-going oomfies to show up for Leviticus like you did for Obsession and Backrooms! Let's make 2026 horror girl summer, AND see a very gay film.
neutral · AI labelView post →“The Backrooms” is based on a viral short film series on YouTube that has amassed more than 220 million views.
neutral · AI labelView post →also it does my heart good to see a trans-created indie series beat out Harry Fucking Potter in terms of hype lmaoooo. the Backrooms is also beating it out which is great.
positive · AI labelView post →sketching up a proper Maya Backrooms thing and I really wanna show someone but I have no idea which of my moots have actually seen the movie or don't mind being spoiled 👀💦
neutral · AI labelView post →I like going into the Backrooms director’s YouTube channel and seeing his old Attack on Titan meme videos where he recreated The Rumbling. That series is a mess but it’s funny to see the parts that kinda rule influence other parts of culture.
neutral · AI labelView post →Finally watched BACKROOMS and I am intrigued and unnerved. Impressive production design, great performances, effective score. Just started watching Kane Parsons' web series. Can't wait to see what he does next. Coming to HBO Max September 25th. #filmsky #horrorsky
positive · AI labelView post →I watched Backrooms for the second time today just cuz I really wanted to show it to a friends of mine, but when I got to the credits I notice They had fuckin BoC new album for the credits song!! That is so cool!!
positive · AI labelView post →The Odyssey, Coyote v. ACME, Project Hail Mary, Backrooms, Nirvana: The Band: The Show: The Movie….could be a pretty insane race for Best Adapted Screenplay this year.

neutral · AI labelView post →The Hollywood press tomorrow: "Pomni tears down the Backrooms!". But seriously, it is very impressive that an indie show was able to achieve this success and hopefully it opens the door for other indies. And congrats to Gooseworx and the crew.
neutral · AI labelView post →That's Kane Parsons, he directed the Backrooms film that's showing right now. He's also a very accomplished CG animator, his YouTube series is how A24 found him.
neutral · AI labelView post →ESCAPE THE BACKROOMS. A month after hitting the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series, the video game has appeared on the Nintendo Switch 2. Wander solo or with up to three friends in online co-op, hunting for exits to help you descend further into the Backrooms.
neutral · AI labelView post →honestly I really don't think Backrooms' willingness to show the monster is a flaw. I think people get too attached to ideas about the "right way" to do horror.
positive · AI labelView post →The Backrooms: • originated on 4chan • famous series on YouTube Execs are looking: • on Reddit they can’t even steal from the correct place lmao
neutral · AI labelView post →I might take myself out on another date tonight to see Backrooms. I wanna make a good impression on me though, should I show up with a gift?
neutral · AI labelView post →It's out! "Storyteller + digital artist Mez Breeze explores the liminal spaces of The #Backrooms, a #foundfootage web series which is based on a popular #creepypasta of the same name. In doing so, Breeze confronts the feelings of alienation and predation inherent to late-stage capitalist society."
neutral · AI labelView post →Two years late I watched all of Kane Pixel's "The Backrooms" series. Absolutely wild that this was done when was around 16, wildly talented stuff. Great little horror series. www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4dG...

neutral · AI labelView post →I am...tempted to stream tonight....but am I too tired from seeing Backrooms? ... Would people show up if a dinosaur put his claws on a controler?
neutral · AI labelView post →The Backrooms movie was incredible! I loved it. I loved Kane Pixels web series and I can’t wait to see where it goes from here. Pirate Clark scared the hell out of me when he first showed up.
positive · AI labelView post →To make a hugely successful Hollywood film about the Backrooms and then go back to Youtube to continue the original video series is WILD. And I LOVE it!
positive · AI labelView post →this is such a weird trend in media criticism. i went to see The Backrooms with my housemates and they were like "why did they show mary trapped in her house with her mother. that was pointless" and it's like. no. the movie says it's about how our memories become abstracted explicitly like 3 times
positive · AI labelView post →Backrooms given the best shot possible to land well following up Iron Lung. Clunky but good actors elevating bad writing and the vision is on the screen mostly intact. boxd.it/gBcjld

Hollywood is increasingly turning to the internet for story ideas, with one of the latest being A24's Backrooms from web series creator Kane Parsons. Now, studios are turning to the horror fiction site SCP Foundation and showing how dealing with that community can go right, and wrong. On the "wrong" side, A24 recently ruffled feathers when it unveiled an SCP Foundation-based V/H/S film without contacting the SCP…
