The upcoming “Backrooms” file, produced by A24 Studios, has created a lot of buzz and excitement in the media. The “Backrooms” started as an internet horror animation about a never-ending room with different levels that gives an uncanny feeling that people on the internet like to feed off of when watching these animations. But still, fans are wondering how a simple horror idea can be made into a full horror movie when it was announced to be released on May 26, 2026.

One of the most interesting parts of “Backrooms” is how it creates fear without using any ghosts, serial killers, or demonic figures like other horror films usually rely on. The horror comes from complete phobias and isolation of being trapped in a place, and you can never leave, which doesn’t make sense.

Another reason for the hype for “Backrooms” is the internet culture behind it, with found-footage style videos. “Backrooms” became popular through video animations that made it look real and unsettling. After it became viral, fans started making levels to the never-ending, yellow paneled walls. Soon after, different types of video games like Roblox and Fortnite made their own version of the Backroom that fans have created.

Overall, the “Backrooms” movie has the potential to bring internet horror into a mainstream film. With A24’s creative approach, it can deliver even a sequel or prequel to this fan-made franchise. Fans are excited to see if it will live up to the same uncanny fear that the original idea first brought to the internet.
