Born from a 2019 4chan post, the Backrooms phenomenon became internet folklore before Hollywood touched it—making this the first major studio film adapted from collaborative creepypasta.
Kane Parsons was seventeen when his original YouTube short went viral. At twenty, he's directing Ejiofor and Duplass in his feature debut while finishing film school remotely.
