## Resource

Directed by YouTube phenomenon Kane Parsons in his feature film debut, Backrooms is an A24 psychological horror movie. It follows a struggling, recovering-alcoholic furniture store owner (Chiwetel Ejiofor) and his therapist (Renate Reinsve) as they discover a mysterious entrance to an endless, labyrinthine alternate dimension of empty, liminal rooms.
