A new teaser for A24’s ‘Backrooms’ has been released, taking audiences deeper into the terrifying liminal space.
As a fan of liminal horror (I loved Skinamarink, sorry), my anticipation for Kane Parsons‘ Backrooms keeps on growing. A24 has dropped a new teaser today as revealed by DiscussingFilm that has only furthered that excitement.
The new teaser doesn’t show a whole lot of new footage, but it does tease something lurking in the backrooms with our protagonists. I’m already nervous.
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 first 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.
Lukita Maxwell and Finn Bennett also star in the A24 horror movie set to be one of the biggest of the year.
Enter the liminal space on May 29, 2026.
