The Evolution of Backrooms | BFI Q&A

The director and star of one of the summer’s most talked-about horror films visit BFI Southbank.

One evening in the 1990s, Clark, a frustrated manager of a failing furniture store discovers a mysterious new room off his store’s basement. Lined with monochromatic yellow walls and humming with the constant buzz of fluorescent lights, it appears to be an endless dimension of distorted liminal spaces.

Adapted from on his hit web series inspired by creepypasta internet lore, Kane Parsons’ feature film debut brims with atmospheric dread and eerie nostalgia, while pulling at threads of anxiety, isolation, and psychological labyrinths.
