@filmthusiastofficial: From making a found-footage ‘Backrooms’ series on YouTube in 2022, to developing and directing the feature film in 2026, Kane Parsons has become the youngest director EVER to have a number-one film at the domestic box office on opening weekend. He’s only 20. The record-breaking $118M worldwide opening stands as A24’s biggest opening weekend ever, the studio’s first film to open with $100M+ globally, the largest original horror debut in history, the biggest R-rated opening of the year, and one of the 15 biggest R-rated openings of all time. The lore of the Backrooms began in back 2019 with a single unsettling image posted on 4chan, showing a maze of empty, yellow liminal spaces filled with fluorescent lights, sparking thousands of stories and theories online. The concept was popularized further in 2022 when a teenage Kane Parsons transformed it into a YouTube series, using realistic effects and worldbuilding to turn an internet creepypasta into a viral sensation. The series became so successful that A24 eventually reached out to him to develop it into a feature film, and the rest is history. Have you seen this film yet? What are your thoughts?
