Get Ready to Get Lost: A24’s Backrooms Opens in PH Cinemas on June 3

There is a special kind of fear in everyday places. It is that strange feeling you get when you are standing in an empty, quiet hallway where you know you do not belong. This is the world of BACKROOMS — a place with yellow hallway and bright lights that has already scared nearly 100 million people online.

Honestly, that is what makes this movie so exciting for me. We are used to horror movies with dark ghosts or monsters jumping out from the shadows. But BACKROOMS does something different. It takes a bright, empty room — a place that looks totally normal — and somehow turns it into the most terrifying thing you have ever seen. It plays with your mind, making you feel trapped even while you are just watching the screen.

Now, this famous internet story is coming to Philippine cinemas on June 3, 2026, thanks to CreaZion Studios and their #KwentoMoTo project.

What makes BACKROOMS so unique? It is directed by Kane Parsons, a 20-year-old YouTube creator who first made this creepy story go viral. Now, big movie companies like A24 are helping him turn his online videos into a real Hollywood horror movie. Seeing a young creator get the chance to bring his internet dream to the big screen is amazing, and you can feel his fresh, creepy energy in every shot.

The story is simple but deeply unsettling. In the short teaser video, a strange door opens in the basement of a furniture shop. Anyone who walks through it becomes trapped in a giant maze where time and space constantly shift.

The movie poster features the endless yellow corridorsff that fans already know from video games on Steam and Roblox. It makes you wonder: What if you got lost in a place you could never escape from?

Even though this started as an internet horror concept, the movie promises a strong emotional core. CreaZion Studios is known for bringing acclaimed films to Southeast Asia, including the hit horror movie The Substance. The company continues to support movies that connect with audiences on a deeper level.

To bring the story to life, the film features an impressive cast led by Oscar nominees Chiwetel Ejiofor and Renate Reinsve, alongside Mark Duplass and Avan Jogia. Watching these talented actors try to survive the shifting maze will surely keep audiences on edge.

As RJ San Agustin of CreaZion Studios said, some movies are simply meant to be experienced on a giant screen with powerful sound. BACKROOMS is one of those movies.

It reminds us that the scariest things are not always hiding in the dark. Sometimes, they are waiting in a bright yellow room.

Get ready to get lost.
