If you’re feeling the weight of your years and you used to be with ‘it’, but then they changed what ‘it’ was, and now what you’re with isn’t ‘it’ anymore, and what’s ‘it’ seems weird and scary, that’s okay. All we need to understand is that aspiring filmmakers used to largely fund their first films with credit cards or arts bodies, and now they have Kickstarter and studios like Neon and A24 instead, who know that low-budget horror movies can do big box-office business. It’s just time to accept that some of the filmmakers behind those movies will also be popular YouTubers.cnx.cmd.push(function() {cnx({playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530",}).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796");});Following the success of this year’s self-funded game adaptation Iron Lung from Mark “Markiplier” Fischbach, A24 hopes the horrors will persist once again in Backrooms, the directorial debut of Kane Parsons aka Kane Pixels. Parsons became enchanted by the iconic creepypasta back in 2021 and created a web series around the concept, which imagines a vast, endless maze of monotonous rooms just beyond reality, where you just might accidentally slip out of the real world and become trapped. Numerous video games have already dabbled in the Backrooms, but now it’s time for them to grace the big screen, and Chiwetel “Chewy” Ejiofor, Renate Reinsve, and Mark Duplass are along for the ride as Parsons attempts to elevate his material. Check out the trailer below…There’s been little in the way of enthusiasm for creepypasta-inspired theatrical movies since the critically savaged yet still profitable Slender Man in 2018. Sony’s messy, sub-10% RT score effort has been largely forgotten since its release, but the world may now be ready for a fresh bowl of creepypasta, and if the trailer is anything to go by, Chewy (Doctor Strange) and Renate (Sentimental Value) will be in typically good form.Are you ready for the sickly, faded yellow vibe of the Backrooms this summer?
