After a therapist's patient vanishes into a dimension beyond reality, she is compelled to follow him into the unknown in this eerie psychological thriller. Chiwetel Ejiofor stars as Clark, a troubled man wrestling with unresolved trauma, who stumbles upon a hidden extra-dimensional maze beneath a furniture store; an endless sprawl of humming, fluorescent corridors where an unseen entity stalks the shadows.

Backrooms marks the striking feature debut of Kane Parsons, a young filmmaker who has expanded his viral liminal-horror web series into a full-scale cinematic sensory assault. Parson's DIY sensibility, use of analogue textures and instinct for unsettling spaces carry through at cinematic scale, resulting in a distinctive, atmospheric genre piece that transforms internet folklore into a vivid big-screen nightmare.
