Backrooms: Everything Must Go with Bonus Footage

Fri. 3 July 2026 — Sun. 9 August 2026

A therapist's patient discovers a strange doorway that appears in the basement of a furniture showroom.

When he disappears beyond reality into a seemingly infinite dimension, she ventures into the unknown to find him.

From director Kane Parsons, and based on his own web series – inspired by the "Backrooms" internet lore – this disquieting sci-fi horror features Chiwetel Ejiofor (The Martian, 12 Years A Slave) and Renate Reinsve (The Worst Person in the World).
