A24's 'Backrooms' Horror Film to Premiere in Italy May 27

The movie "Backrooms," directed by Kane Parsons (also known as Kane Pixels), adapts the viral creepypasta that depicts endless yellow‑wall corridors and a sense of liminal dread. Produced by A24, the feature brings the internet‑originated horror from short YouTube videos to a full‑length theatrical release.

In Italy the film opens on 27 May through distributor I Wonder Pictures, marking the first major studio release of a work that began on 4chan and YouTube. The adaptation features a cast that includes Chiwetel Ejiofor and Renate Reinsve and highlights the growing influence of digital‑native creators on mainstream cinema.
