Chiwetel Eijofor Wakes Up To a Liminal Nightmare In New ‘Backrooms’ Clip [Watch]
We’re just days away from becoming trapped in Kane Parsons‘ liminal horror film, Backrooms. In a new clip released by A24 and shared by Fandango, star Chiwetel Eijofor wakes up to find himself in the stark yellow maze, teasing the eeriness of things to come.
As a fan of liminal horror stories (I’m a Skinamarink fan), Backrooms looks like it not only scratches that itch, but could pave the way for a new era of liminal horror. So, yeah, I’m excited for this weekend.
In Backrooms, Academy Award nominee Ejiofor plays Clark, a furniture store owner who discovers a portal to a strange, empty office space hidden in the back of his shop.
Lukita Maxwell, Mark Duplass, and Finn Bennett also star in the A24 horror movie set to be one of the biggest of the year.
In his review of the film, Dread’s own Josh Korngut wrote, “Backrooms is a more than competent horror film with an expertly assembled cast, sleek cinematography, and a complex narrative about the subterranean emotional roots of who we are and where we come from.”
Enter the liminal space on May 29, 2026.
