Blumhouse revealed its spooky first footage for the horror feature that adapts Kane Parsons’ YouTube series.
A24 releases director Parsons’ film theatrically May 29. The project stars Chiwetel Ejiofor, Renate Reinsve, Mark Duplass, Finn Bennett, Lukita Maxwell and Avan Jogia.
Backrooms centers on two people who find a mysterious door in the basement of a furniture showroom.
“I found something,” Ejiofor says in voiceover during the teaser trailer. “I found a place. It’s massive in there and just goes on and on and on. All these rooms — this place builds them. Actually, more like it remembers them, and the more times it remembers something, the less it does.
