“Backrooms” was reportedly heading to premium streaming last week, but was pushed back at the eleventh hour. Maybe that was to give its extended cut edition a little extra time in theaters. Whatever the reason, it looks like Kane Parsons’ popular horror, rooted in the popular internet “creepypasta,” is now finally ready to head to streaming. If you skipped this one in theaters, you can enjoy the unnerving liminal space horror at home.Chiwetel Ejiofor plays the troubled owner of a furniture showroom. When he discovers a mysterious portal in the store’s basement, he is transported to an endless series of rooms that connect in seemingly impossible ways. Heavy on the atmosphere and effectively utilizing the found footage style, “Backrooms” has grossed almost $370 million worldwide, making it one of 2026’s most popular horror flicks and likely the start of a new franchise.Watch on Prime Video (buy/rent) starting July 14‘The Breadwinner’ (PVOD)
