Backrooms psychological horror film debuts in theaters
The new psychological horror film "Backrooms" directed by Kane Parsons has opened in cinemas. The film stars Chiwetel Ejiofor, Renate Reinsve, Mark Duplass and Finn Bennett. It follows Clark, a furniture‑store salesman who discovers a portal to an endless maze of yellow‑painted rooms and disappears, prompting his therapist Dr. Mary Kline to venture into the labyrinth to rescue him. Reviewers note the film’s Kafka‑esque atmosphere, its reliance on anxiety rather than jump scares, and its striking sound design.
The movie is being shown in Argentine theatres such as Aldrey and Ambassador, and has also been listed in Canadian cinema listings. Critics describe it as an introspective, surreal thriller that explores personal patterns of dysfunction through its nightmarish setting.
