The Backrooms (Found Footage)

The Backrooms (Found Footage) is a spine-chilling short film by Kane Parsons that brings the viral internet myth to life in terrifying detail. Presented in a realistic found-footage style, it follows an unfortunate cameraman who stumbles into the "backrooms"—an endless, fluorescent-lit maze of empty corridors and faded wallpaper. As he navigates the surreal, dreamlike space, a lurking, sinister presence heightens the dread. This breakout short, celebrated for its masterful atmosphere and unnerving visuals, has garnered widespread acclaim and is now being adapted into a feature film by A24, solidifying its place as a cornerstone of modern liminal horror.
