Backrooms Is A Reminder That The Internet Is The Future Of Cinema

Kane Parsons, the YouTube creator behind Backrooms, has turned his internet horror concept into an A24 feature film.

The piece sees the movie as a strong example of internet-born creators moving into mainstream cinema, especially through horror.

Parsons expands the original eerie visuals and liminal-space atmosphere, though the characters are less developed than the setting.

The film reflects a broader pipeline from online talent to Hollywood, where horror has become a key entry point.
