Liminal Yellow Hues and Suburban Unease Define New ‘Backrooms’ Images

A24 has shared three new stills from Kane Parsons‘ liminal horror Backrooms, which is poised to have one of the biggest horror openings of the year.

In Backrooms, Academy Award nominee Chiwetel Ejiofor plays a furniture store owner who discovers a portal to a strange, empty office space hidden in the back of his shop.

The trailer revealed that, at first, he approaches it with a kind of Poltergeist-style curiosity, testing it, trying to understand what it is. But as the trailer goes on, it becomes clear this place is way bigger – and way worse – than he thought. He starts experimenting, pushing deeper, and the whole thing takes on a strong V/H/S meets As Above, So Below vibe. And then his wife (Renate Reinsve) finds it… and from there, you can already tell things are about to spiral into something seriously disturbing.

A24 shared several new images from the film, offering more shots from the liminal yellow and suburban settings, featuring the cast Chiwetel Ejiofor, Renate Reinsve, Lukita Maxwell, and Finn Bennett.
