A24’s latest horror hit The Backrooms will make its way to Southeast Asia this June, with screening dates currently confirmed for the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, and Brunei.
The film is directed by Kane Parsons, A24’s youngest-ever director at just 19 years old, and adapts Parsons’ webseries of the same name. The movie and webseries takes inspiration from a creepypasta originally posted on 4chan in 2019, which depicts an alternate universe made up of seemingly endless yellowing corridors (or “Backrooms”).
Parsons’ The Backrooms webseries originally debuted in 2022, and has earned over 77 million views as of May 2026, expanding the original story with elements such as monsters and a mysterious facility investigating the phenomenon. The upcoming film, starring Chiwetel Ejiofor and Renate Reinsve, will follow a therapist whose client accidentally wanders into the Backrooms.
