Backrooms Movie Review | Kane Parsons | A24 | Firstpost Movie Reviews | First Cut
#Backrooms is finally here in India, and it might be one of the strangest horror films you'll watch this year. Directed by #KaneParsons and produced by #A24, the film expands one of the internet's most iconic creepypasta concepts into a full-length feature. But does this viral horror phenomenon justify the hype, or is it simply a fascinating experiment?In this episode of First Cut, Dabeet Singh reviews Backrooms and breaks down why this might be one of the most original studio horror films in recent years.
Starring Chiwetel Ejiofor and Renate Reinsve, the film follows a struggling furniture store owner who discovers a mysterious doorway into an alternate dimension known as the Backrooms. What begins as curiosity soon becomes a descent into an endless labyrinth of unsettling spaces, distorted realities, and increasingly disturbing discoveries.
The biggest strength of Backrooms is its atmosphere.
Director Kane Parsons creates a constant feeling of unease through production design, cinematography, sound design, and music that work together beautifully. The film isn't interested in cheap jump scares. Instead, it focuses on psychological discomfort, creating a nightmare-like experience that lingers long after scenes end.
The world-building is especially impressive. The Backrooms themselves become more compelling than almost anything else in the movie. Every new location raises more questions, and the film constantly pulls you deeper into its strange mythology while revealing just enough information to keep you invested.
Chiwetel Ejiofor also delivers a grounded and emotionally believable performance, helping audiences connect with a story that often ventures into abstract territory.
However, the film won't work for everyone.
Its biggest weakness is an ending that feels deliberately incomplete, almost like the conclusion of a television season rather than a standalone film. The movie also spends more time developing its world than its characters, which may leave some viewers feeling emotionally disconnected from the story.
Most importantly, horror fans expecting a traditional jump-scare experience should adjust their expectations. Backrooms is psychological horror first and foremost. The scares come from atmosphere, uncertainty, and the fear of being trapped somewhere that feels familiar yet fundamentally wrong.
Whether you love it or hate it, Backrooms is attempting something genuinely different in an era dominated by sequels, remakes, and cinematic universes.
Watch the full review and analysis to find out whether Backrooms is worth experiencing in theatres.
