Backrooms horror film receives attention in Czech reviews

The internet phenomenon “Backrooms” was turned into a feature film released by the independent U.S. studio A24 and directed by 20‑year‑old Kane Parsons. The story is set in endless, yellow‑painted office corridors populated by hostile monsters, reflecting the meme that originated from a 2019 unsettling photograph. The movie blends conventional horror with psychological and philosophical elements and has been compared to the atmosphere of “The Blair Witch Project” and “Alice in Wonderland.”

Czech critics note the film’s unsettling visual style, strong emotional impact and effective tension despite limited gore. Reviews on the Czech film database CSFD are largely positive, praising Parsons’s direction and suggesting a promising future for the young filmmaker. The film is positioned as an unconventional horror entry in A24’s catalogue.
