A strange doorway appears in the basement of a furniture showroom.

This summer’s most surprising original hit just got even better…stay tuned for 15 minutes of brand-new material after the end credits, created by director Kane Parsons and further expanding Backrooms lore…

The young director’s feature-length version of his YouTube shorts stays true to its creepypasta origins, turning a wasteland of cheap furniture into an infinite hellscape that entraps the viewer along with Chiwetel Ejiofor and Renate Reinsve.

It’s the carbonara of creepypasta cinema, adding savory Kubrickian elements to its source material’s heavily salted Blair Witch Project videocam style and displaying an inventiveness that makes up for any sense of derivativeness.

Parsons acquits himself astonishingly well, building on the analogue style and twisted visuals of his web-series.

It’s not the scariest, or even quite the smartest, horror you’ll see this year. Still, it’s mesmeric and wildly unique in a way I suspect will stand the test of time.
